This is a REd Synchronous (live) class.

This class will explore beginner data analytics for research with healthcare and health-related research study data. Specifically, this course will introduce gathering, cleaning, describing and analyzing data found in observational cohort studies or retrospective data analysis. Analysis will target three areas: forming a basic “Table 1” for a publishable manuscript, describing the available to a study team, and working with a statistician and drafting a statistical analysis plan (SAP).

Class Objectives: At the conclusion of this class, you should be able to:

• Recognize the need for appropriate human subjects data protection, data use agreements and internal review board approvals to analyze protected health information (PHI).
• Define the purpose of the study data use by identifying the research study question and relate it to a proposed analytic plan
• Explain how to collect research study data and describe sources of data for healthcare research
• Use data analytic software (R, SPSS, SAS, SQL, STATA) to clean and analyze research data
• List the steps to perform data analysis and produce a statistical analysis plan
