Population Health Shared Resource (RRID: SCR_021992)
Overview of Services​​
The Population Health Shared Resource (PHSR) supports access to and expertise in data management, analyses, and mapping/data visualization of population-based databases. These databases are ideal for studies requiring access to large samples of patients and/or providers; examination of trends in treatment, screening, or other healthcare services; the impact of policy changes or recommendations on healthcare services; investigating the dissemination of evidence-based technologies and interventions; disparities of treatment or other health care services between groups; geographic distributions of cancer patients and relationships with other geospatial data.
PHSR also offers behavioral science support. These services include patient and community-focused methods such as survey design, data collection in clinic and community settings, medical record review and extraction, qualitative analyses, psychometrics, and participatory research.
Current datasets available at PHSR
Please note that some datasets require new data use agreements and/or reuse fees.
