HINTS Educational Webinars
Learn more about how to use and work with HINTS data with our series of educational webinars.
HINTS-SEER: Sampling Cancer Survivors for the Health Information National Trends Survey
In January 2023, the Behavioral Research Program in the National Cancer Institute’s Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences recorded a tutorial about HINTS-SEER, a data collection effort to sample cancer survivors for the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) using three cancer registries within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. In the tutorial, NCI staff cover the project’s background, aims, and methodology; review how to request access to the data; and discuss methodological and statistical considerations for using the HINTS-SEER data.
Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) 5 Cycle 3 Data: A How-To Guide for Using the New Data in your Research
The National Cancer Institute’s Behavioral Research Program (BRP) hosted a webinar on March 26, 2020 that provided information on the latest iteration of the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 5 Cycle 3) that was released to the public in January 2020.
The presenters:
- Provided an overview of the survey and its content
- Described the results of a web pilot study
- Offered analysis tips and SAS code to help researchers utilize the data.

How-To HINTS: A Practical Workshop
On May 4, 2016, presenters from the National Cancer Institute and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration came together to provide an overview of HINTS, review optimal ways for analyzing HINTS data, and present case studies that used HINTS data in an interactive workshop and webinar. Videos from this webinar are found below.
Dr. Brad Hesse of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) presents an introduction to the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) during the May 4th event “How-To HINTS: A Practical Workshop.” This presentation reviews the history and goals of the HINTS program, discusses the HINTS sampling methodology, and the strengths and limitations of HINTS data.
Dr. Alexandra Greenberg of the Mayo Clinic (at the time of the presentation a part of the National Cancer Institute) discusses how to merge HINTS data over multiple cycles, using an example from a study using Healthy People 2020 benchmarks, during the May 4th event “How-To HINTS: A Practical Workshop.”
Dr. Richard Moser of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) presents a variety of analytic techniques for Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) data during the May 4th event “How-To HINTS: A Practical Workshop.” This presentation reviews importing and formatting HINTS data, using SUDAAN and SAS-callable SUDAAN for HINTS analyses, analytic recommendations for the latest HINTS dataset, and how to merge HINTS data across cycles.
Dr. Elisabeth Donaldson of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discusses an example STATA analysis using HINTS-FDA data during the May 4th event “How-To HINTS: A Practical Workshop.”
Dr. Alexandra Greenberg of the Mayo Clinic (at the time of the presentation a part of the National Cancer Institute) discusses how to merge HINTS data over multiple cycles, using an example from a study using Healthy People 2020 benchmarks, during the May 4th event “How-To HINTS: A Practical Workshop.”
