New HSR Methods Web Resource Now Available

AcademyHealth is pleased to announce that the www.HSRmethods.org Web site is now available. This new online tool provides researchers collaborating across disciplines with an easy-to-use tool for understanding health services research (HSR) methods. HSRmethods.org includes current information on key research methods and a number of resources used in HSR. The Web site, which will grow over time under direction of the Methods Council, is designed to spur dialogue about analytic methods among researchers. 

We invite you to share this important new tool with your colleagues.
