Save the Date for MEPS and HCUP Data Users Workshop
AHRQ will conduct a two-day hands-on HCUP and MEPS Data Users Workshop in Rockville, MD on September 28-29, 2009. Registration materials will be available on MEPS website mid-July.
AHRQ is sponsoring a workshop to facilitate use of two of its important data resources: the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) and the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). The workshop, which will take place at AHRQ headquarters in Rockville, Maryland, will provide health services researchers with information on the components and capabilities of the two databases. Participants will be taught how to extract data for research projects from their choice of either MEPS or HCUP. For MEPS, a working knowledge of SAS is required. For HCUP, familiarity with SAS is recommended but not required. There is no fee for the workshop.
Day 1 of the workshop will consist of lectures designed to provide a general overview of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) and the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). There will be an option of attending both MEPS and HCUP or just MEPS.
Day 2 will be the participant’s choice of in-depth computer-based training on either MEPS or HCUP. For MEPS, participants will apply the knowledge gained from the first day's lectures to formulate a research plan that utilizes the various MEPS-HC files and linkage capabilities. Each participant will construct an analytic file and begin to conduct analyses. For HCUP, participants will learn how to use HCUP databases, e.g., Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), and software tools, e.g., HCUPnet. In both workshops, participants will have the opportunity to pose specific research questions. Computers will be available for all day 2 attendees.
Note: The day 2 sessions will be separate concurrent hands-on workshops run for MEPS and HCUP. Those attending MEPS hands-on session on 2nd day could bring a CD with their active MEPS project and get expert help on their research questions. Programmers and AHRQ staff will be available to provide assistance.
The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) collects data on the specific health services that Americans use, how frequently they use them, the cost of these services, and how they are paid for, as well as data on the cost, scope, and breadth of private health insurance held by and available to the U.S. population. For more information about MEPS, please visit: http://www.meps.ahrq.gov
The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) is a family of powerful health care databases, software tools, and products. HCUP data enable research on a broad range of topics related to health care, including cost and quality of health services, medical practice patterns, access to health care programs, and outcomes of treatment at the national, State, and local market levels. In addition, HCUP makes available at no charge a number of software tools to facilitate use of HCUP and other administrative data. For more information about HCUP, please visit http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov

From Census Product Update (June 26, 2009) - Hot Tip: Comparing ACS Data to Other Sources
Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing estimates, it is the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program that produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns and estimates of housing units for states and counties. The ACS should be used to examine housing, demographic, social, and economic characteristics of the population. Detailed guidance on how to compare ACS data to other Census data sets is available on our web site.

From Census Product Update (May 29, 2009): Hot Tip - New Notify Me Feature for Industry and Economic Census Geographic Area Series Reports
Release of the 2007 Economic Census "Industry Series" reports began in April and will continue through the end of the year. These reports, available through American FactFinder, provide national statistics on each of about 1,000 industries. For the first time, the Census Bureau is offering a service, called NotifyMe, that alerts data users when particular reports are available.
Users just select one or more industries from a list of checkboxes and enter their email address. That's it! Later on, when the industry is released, we will send an e-mail with a link to the data. It couldn't be easier.
Starting this summer, we will expand the NotifyMe service to include the 2007 Economic Census Geographic Area Series reports. These reports, covering each state and 18 sectors, will be released starting in November. Once again, we will alert users when we release the reports they need.

From IES Newsflash: The Nation's Report Card: 2008 Arts: Music and Visual Arts at Grade 8 is Now Available
The results are in. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has released the results of the 2008 national arts assessment.
A nationally representative sample of approximately 7,900 eighth-grade students from about 260 public and private schools participated in the 2008 arts assessment. Approximately one-half of these students were assessed in music, and the other half were assessed in visual arts.
Major findings include:
* Average responding scores in both music and visual arts were higher for White and Asian/Pacific Islander students than Black and Hispanic students. The pattern was also the same for the visual arts creating task scores.
* Female students had higher average responding scores in both music and visual arts than male students. Female students also had a higher average creating task score in visual arts.
* Thirty-three percent of eighth-graders reported that their teachers asked them to write down music at least once a month in class; this figure has increased by seven percent since 1997, when only 26 percent of students reported the same.

From IES Newsflash: New IES Report from the National Center for Education Statistics - "Late High School Dropouts: Characteristics, Experiences, and Changes Across Cohorts"
This report presents information about selected characteristics and experiences of high school sophomores in 2002 who subsequently dropped out of school. It also presents comparative data about late high school dropouts in the years 1982, 1992, and 2004. The findings only address dropping out in late high school and do not cover students who dropped out before the spring of 10th grade. For this reason, the reported rates are lower than those based on the students' entire high school or earlier school career. Key findings include the following:
* Forty-eight percent of all late high school dropouts come from families in the lowest quarter (bottom 25 percent) of the socioeconomic status distribution, and 77 percent of late high school dropouts come from the lowest half of the socioeconomic status distribution.
* Most late high school dropouts (83 percent) listed a school-related (versus a family- or employment-related) reason for leaving. These reasons included missing too many school days, thinking it would be easier to get a GED, getting poor grades, and not liking school.
* The overall late high school dropout rate was lower in 2004 than in 1982 (7 percent versus 11 percent, respectively) and lower in 1992 than in 1982 (6 percent versus 11 percent), but it showed no statistically significant difference in 2004 compared with 1992.

The Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES): Investigating Cultural and Ethnic Influences on Mental Health workshop will be held June 22-25 as part of the 2009 ICPSR Summer Program. Interested applicants may apply through the registration portal: http://icpsr.umich.edu/sumprog/2009/index.html. The registration deadline is JUNE 8, and registration requires a CV and statement of interest. There is no tuition cost to participants.
Due to the workshop being a late addition to the summer program schedule and that this might be the last year for this course, please assist in advertising the course as widely as possible. This will help ensure that those who would like to attend have the ability to do so. If you have access to email lists of potentially interested scholars or are aware of students or colleagues who would be interested in attending, please forward this information.
