ECPN SESSION I: GETTING STARTED WITH BIG DATA

“Big Data” provides numerous opportunities to answer critical questions that would otherwise be impossible. However, there are many unknowns about how to collect and analyze big data. How do you find the data you want? How do you navigate data sharing agreements? How do you know if you have the software and hardware needed to analyze and report findings? This session will focus on challenges and opportunities of working with big data in prevention science with an emphasis on opportunities relevant to early career researchers.
