NHANES II and NHANES I Tutorials now available

To meet the growing demands of NHANES data users, a two more web-based tutorial were developed to promote and facilitate broader and more proficient use of NHANES II and NHANES I data. These tutorials is intended to serve as:

A step-by-step course on NHANES II and NHANES I data retrieval and analysis for new users.

A self-learning tool for novice and infrequent users to supplement their knowledge of the NHANES II and NHANES I datasets.

The NHANES II and NHANES I tutorials, each consisting of courses orienting the user to the survey, preparing an analytic dataset, and survey design factors, are now available on the NHANES website. This tutorial supplements the Continuous NHANES and the NHANES III tutorials. While Continuing professional education credit is available for the Continuous NHANES Web Tutorial, it is not available for the NHANES III, NHANES II, or NHANES I Web Tutorial.

The access to NHANES Tutorials is available via the second bulleted link 'NHANES Tutorials', located under the 'What's New' item or through the icon on the right side of the NHANES home page.
