NHANES Dietary Tutorial Available Now The first two courses of the NHANES Dietary Tutorial are published online. The dietary tutorial is a major supplement to the existing NHANES Web Tutorial and provides information and instructions specific to dietary data and analyses. The first course, Dietary Data Survey Orientation, gives an overview of the dietary data, provides roadmaps to the complex data structure and contents, and orients users to the NHANES website and its resources for dietary data analysis. The second course, Preparing a Dietary Analytic Dataset, provides step-by-step instruction from locating and downloading variables, to merging and appending, formatting, and saving datasets. Courses covering basic and advanced data analyses are currently under development. NHANES Web Tutorial - NHANES Analyses Course Now Features Stata A Stata track for the NHANES Analyses course of the NHANES Web Tutorial is now on-line. Given the increasing number of Stata users, the NHANES tutorial team added a Stata track to the course's SUDAAN and SAS survey procedures tracks. The NHANES Analyses course provides instructions on how to conduct the most frequently used statistical functions. Additional instructions on how to prepare an analytic dataset using Stata software will be forthcoming. Updated
