The Epidemiology Data Service Center provides a variety of services to the MCW community, but primary among them is to act as a resource of epidemiological and other health data for MCW and MCW-affiliated researchers.

.Data services
  • Do you need an estimate of the number of women who received a mammogram in the last year?
  • Are you looking for descriptive statistics of the state population for the grant proposal you are writing?
  • Do you need to obtain a subset of raw natality data from the last five years?
  • Are you searching for someone to assist your research team in acquiring and linking various databases throughout the course of your project?

Whatever your data needs are, the EDSC will help you fill them! We'll work with you to determine what information you are looking for, then provide the desired data to you quickly and in the format that is the most useful for you. Check out our data catalog.  If we don't have the data you need, we'll try to point you to a resource that does.
