We developed an algorithm to enhance the identification of #Hispanics in the #VA and
found that using EHR-recorded ethnicity is problematic.

@SnoPUD Any new ETA for Gold Bar? Obviously the goal in this tweet didn't quite happen but I am hoping so much to have heat and light for Christmas! We are back behind the tree in the line on 1st Ave W. Online estimate keeps changing. Thanks for all you do & Merry Christmas!

Fantastic first day of the 2022 @WAStPubHealth Annual Conference. Lots of highlights, including an excellent talk by @heidiberthoud on engaging with rural communities to LISTEN to them identify their own needs and rebuild trust.

[Kara Bensley, PhD MSc @KBensley]

@dr_katon Yes. We are in Gold Bar and have been running 6 air purifiers 24/7 for a month. My son has barely set foot outside. But still somehow all of us have sore throats. It's absolutely horrible.

Considering teaching #jamovi or #JASP in biostatistics next year (along with SPSS). Anyone have good teaching resources for these beyond what is available on their respective websites?

@noelvest @NIDAnews Congrats! Wonderful!

[Kara Bensley, PhD MSc @KBensley]

He will be sorely missed in our field. Glad I was able to meet and learn from him over the years, I think I am a better researcher for it. ❤
