There are two groups of tutorials available to help you work with the HD*Calc program:

Importing Data Basics: These tutorials assume that you already have the input data file ready to import into HD*Calc.  There are two ways to import data into HD*Calc depending on the data source:

• Tutorial 1: Importing SEER*Stat Data
• Tutorial 2: Importing Other Data

Preparing Input Data Files and Using HD*Calc for Analyses: The following exercises will teach you how to prepare the data input files and use them to calculate health disparities in HD*Calc.

SEER Data Examples
