As public health professionals, you are expected to use, understand, and explain data every day; however, most of the public health workforce does not have the training to best explain, compare, describe and illustrate quantitative data while ensuring data integrity. This online training will advance your knowledge of quantitative data, provide online resources, and provide skill building to assist you in communicating and visualizing various data. This training is provided FREE of charge – thanks to a collaboration between the Iowa Institute of Public Health Research and Policy, the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, and the University of Iowa College of Public Health.
