EHES Training Seminars

The EHES Training programme includes three types of training seminars:

1. Planning and preparing for the European Health Examination Survey (EHES) at the national level,
2. Fieldwork procedures, and
3. Data analysis, reporting and dissemination of the results.

During the EHES Pilot Phase (2010-2011), two training seminars were organized:

• Training seminar on planning and preparing for the European Health Examination Survey (EHES) at the national level on 11-12 February 2010 in Rome, Italy. See report and material from this training seminar at http://www.ehes.info/rc/training_seminar/training_seminar1_summary.htm.
• Training seminar on fieldwork procedures on 20-22 September 2010 in Helsinki, Finland. See report and material from this training seminar at http://www.ehes.info/rc/training_seminar/training_seminar2_summary.htm.
