    Apr 28th, 2014

    The next installment of the NCI Sarah Taub Webinar Series is set for tomorrow, Tuesday, April 29, from 3:00-4:00 Eastern Daylight Time. 

    The webinar will focus on the 2012-13 NCI Reports.  We will focus on the differences between the reports, which will include: how the data are analyzed, how the data are reported, how the data are intended to be used, the audience(s) that was in mind while putting together the reports, etc.

    Webinar and conference call information located below.  PLEASE NOTE- we’re using a different webinar provider (Adobe Connect) than we have used in the past (WebEx).  Please check before the meeting to see if you have the applicable software to be compatible.  There is an information and testing link below.  If you’re not sure, or need some assistance, you can contact Josh (jengler@hsri.org) with any questions.

  • 2012-13 Family Survey Reports Released!

    Mar 26th, 2014

    The 2012-13 Family Survey Final Reports have been released! They can be found at http://www.nationalcoreindicators.org/resources/reports/

    As always, thanks to all of you who contributed to these reports.  This year, we changed the way we produced reports and thus have taken longer than expected to complete them as we worked out the ‘first year’ kinks.  We thank you for your patience.

    A very special ‘thank you’ to HSRI’s Stephanie Giordano who did the lion’s share of work producing these reports as well as leading the effort to change the way they are produced.
