These data files contain individual-level Medicaid eligibility and utilization information linked to the detailed health and demographic data collected from the NCHS national surveys. We anticipate all projects will evaluate aspects of health care utilization or expenditures (from the Medicaid files) in relation to data from national health surveys. Specific topics of research (child health conditions, disparities, statistical methodology, etc.) can be determined by the interest and background of the Fellow. The survey data most likely to be used during this Fellowship will be those from the National Health Interview Survey, which contains detail sociodemographic information as well as information on health status. Also, potentially possible are projects using the Medicaid files linked to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (containing interview, exam, and lab data). One example of a potential project would be assessing utilization of preventive asthma medications among asthmatics in the Medicaid population, with particular emphasis on compliance with these medications.**** **** The fellowship location is the Hyattsville, Maryland office of NCHS. Hyattsville is a suburb of Washington D.C., about 1 mile from the University of Maryland College Park campus and 10 miles from National Institutes of Health in Bethesda. This allows easy interchange between the numerous public health researchers working at the various agencies and institutions located in the national capital area. It is easily accessible from downtown Washington by Metrorail.**** **** It is anticipated that these research activities will result in one or more published reports or journal articles. Ample support in epidemiology, medicine, statistics, and economics, as well as IT assistance, is available within the Office.**** **** *More Information on Fellowship* Please click *here<http://aptrweb.org/prof_dev/pdfs/3.12HealthStatisticsFellow.pdf> * for more detailed information on the fellowship position.**** **** *Application Procedures* Apply online. http://fs7.formsite.com/APTR/form131/index.html<http://fs7.formsite.com/APTR/form131/index.html> .**** **** *More Information* Phone (202) 463-0550 ext. 137 or email [log in to unmask]**** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** Flannery Peterson**** ** ** Project Coordinator**** ** ** Association for Prevention Teaching and Research**** 1001 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 610**** Washington, DC 20036**** phone: 202.463.0550, ext. 137**** fax: 202.463.0555**** www.aptrweb.org **** ** ** *TEACHING PREVENTION 2012* * * *Getting it Together: Prevention in Health Professions Education*** *April 11-12, 2012 | Washington, DC | Madison Hotel* **** www.aptrweb.org/teachingprevention**** ** ** <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you wish to unsubscribe from the COMHEALUMNI-L List, please send an E-mail to: "[log in to unmask]".
