SUMMARY:Excel Basics for Analyzing Health Data
DESCRIPTION:“Big Data” has been a buzzword in health journalism for a while\, but those without a background in analyzing large data sets may feel intimidated just starting out. A webinar sponsored by USC Annenberg’s Reporting on Health will provide journalists with a primer to using Excel spreadsheet for data cleanup and analysis. Data journalist Paul Overberg\, who has spent more than 20 years on data analysis\, will explain how journalists can use spreadsheets to make journalists “better at finding a story\, fending off bogus ideas and sharpening the questions they can ask people. \nAccording to the Reporting on Health website\, Overberg “specializes in analyzing demographic trends but has worked on data about everything from Obamacare to stream flows. He has taught data journalism at American University and for professional groups including Investigative Reporters and Editors\, Associated Press Media Editors\, the Reynolds Institute for Business Journalism at Arizona State and the Society of Professional Journalists.” \nAdditional information is available here. The webinar is made possible by the National Institute for Health Care Management Foundation \nWHEN/WHERE: \nTuesday\, July 7 at 10 a.m. PT/ 1 p.m. ET  \nHow to Attend: \n Journalists can register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2357061926645841665 \nReporting on Health also recommends the following supplementary materials: \nExcel basics for journalists:  \n“How journalists can use Excel to organize data for stories\,” by Josh Hatch\, Poynter \n“Excel I – Sorting and filtering\,” Linda J Johnson\, IRE.org \nExcel functions for journalists: \n“My Favorite (Excel) Things\,” by Mary Jo Webster\, Minneapolis Star Tribune \n“Excel 2: Rates and Ratios\,” by Denise Malan\, IRE.org \nExcel data cleanup for journalists: \n“My Favorite (Excel) Things\,” by Mary Jo Webster\, Minneapolis Star Tribune \nAssociated data and examples: \nExcel Tricks 2014 handout data (spreadsheet)  \nYouTube videos: \nSarah Cohen videos on filtering\, pivot tables\, importing \nThe Age of Insight: Telling Stories with Data
