Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) Users Meeting
January 9-10, 2014 | Rockville, Maryland
Sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the meeting will focus on research
using HINTS data and the application of HINTS research to public health and clinical
care.
Welcome to the 2014 HINTS Users Meeting Home Page
Since it began in 2003, the HINTS program has been tracking vital statistics related
to the public’s attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors related to cancer prevention
and control (such as screening, physical activity, and health literacy, with an
emphasis on information technology and consumer health informatics). With data and
results from six HINTS survey administrations--including HINTS Puerto Rico--over
the course of a decade (and additional data to come) we will have a lot to talk
about!
The meeting will have something for everyone – if you are a researcher who uses
HINTS data (or who wants to learn how), you’ll want to see the presentations of
cutting-edge research on the evolving health information environment; special populations;
and data integration. For our colleagues who use HINTS to inform clinical practice,
public health activities, or communication strategies, meeting activities will also
spotlight how HINTS research can be leveraged to improve practice. Take a moment
to view our agenda to learn more about what else we have planned (data “blitzes,”
a video contest, and a series of Bold Ideas presentations).
We look forward to seeing you in January! If you have
any questions or if we can be of help as you plan your trip, please feel free to
contact us at NCIHINTS@nih.gov.
