AskCHIS workshops are featured both in person and online. The in-person format provides a half or full day training conducted by Health DATA trainers in local computer centers throughout California. The online trainings are approximately 120 minutes and functions much like an online meeting. Users will be able to watch the trainer via a live video feed, use the AskCHIS system and ask questions. A computer, Internet access and a telephone are required. Both the in-person and online trainings cover both introductory and advanced AskCHIS features and includes work with multiple health topics available from CHIS on building queries, graphing data and exporting data in Excel, as well as interpreting results, and developing local estimates.
