“Conducting Research using Restricted-Access Data through the Stanford Federal Statistical Research Data Center”

Professor Marcella Alsan (Stanford School of Medicine) will discuss the research she is conducting at the Stanford FSRDC on the relationship between mistrust of the health care system and health-seeking behavior. By using geographic indicators in the NHIS, she is examining the timing of African American men’s visits to physicians before and after the disclosure of the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in 1972.

Jonathan Fisher (Stanford University) and Emi Lesure (Census Bureau) will discuss other relevant research that has used the FSRDC network and the specific data available.

The presenters will speak for about 40 minutes and then take questions for the remaining time.  Come learn about this valuable on-campus resource!
