- Needs assessment and prioritization
- Specialized multivariable regression methods
- Performance measurement and trend analysis
- Program and policy evaluation
- Quality improvement analysis and reporting
- Effective data presentation and translation
- Health equity measurement

Who Should Apply?
This national program is aimed primarily at professionals in state and local health agencies who have significant responsibility for collecting, processing, analyzing, and reporting MCH data. This year, the course is geared to individuals with Intermediate to Advanced skills in statistics and epidemiologic methods, preferably in MCH or a related field.
Note: Only applicants who work domestically and regularly analyze data rather than manage programs, will be considered.
If you have Basic to Intermediate skills (mostly generate descriptive statistics with limited application of regression analysis), we welcome you to apply to next year’s course, and to review the online archived course materials from the 2023 Basic to Intermediate course. If you are a program manager, please see the additional training resources below for data users.
STATE AGENCY EMPLOYEES: This application must be accompanied by a letter from your state MCH director indicating they are aware that you are applying for the training course. This letter helps to foster communication and awareness between state MCH directors, applicants, and MCHB.
