Healthy Places NC Data Foundations Training Series

This Healthy Places North Carolina (HPNC) eLearning series is designed for audiences with minimal background in public health data. While many of the examples will be from the HPNC initiative, anyone interested in data would benefit from participating. The training series is made up of three modules, each with two to four, 10-30 minute self-guided and interactive trainings. Module 1 covers basic data concepts such as commonly used data measures and how to evaluate data reliability. Module 2 describes how to access and evaluate data while Module 3 introduces some basic concepts on how to collect your own data through surveys. These eLearns are also pre-requisite coursework for an exciting new FREE series launching in January 2022: Data for Impact – HPNC Webinar Series.
