The November 21 webinar "Using the NHS at the scale of cities and communities" was a great success, with 215 registrations, and 158 attendees.

In particular, it helped us understand some of the ways to assess the quality of the National Household Survey in addition to the global non-response rate, while driving home a commonly mentioned point: use the NHS to report on socioeconomic variables at the neighbourhood and municipal scale, but make sure to do so with caution.

If you had any questions that weren't addressed, or thought of new questions since the webinar, please let us know so.  We're always happy to search for answers.

The presentation slides and a recording of the Q&A session are now available.  To view them, see the links below.

Note that we will be hosting a webinar in 2014 with a greater focus on income data from the NHS as well as Taxfiler data.  Stay tuned for updates in the new year!
