Data Analyst

• 3+ years’ experience performing data analysis including statistical analysis, database management, and working with public health surveillance data.
• Experience in applying quantitative and qualitative analysis to provide actionable insights on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and infectious diseases.
• Experience designing and implementing analytical reviews, and updates on data validations utilizing REDCap and SAS programs.
• Experience creating and maintaining database records for ad-hoc report development.
• Experience providing technical assistance and project recommendations to increase data reporting efficiencies.
• Experience Conduct the sampling evaluation, the frame omission evaluation, and the nonresponse evaluation for available SET-NET jurisdictional datasets.

The purpose of this requirement is to support CDC in its effort to gather and analyze data from longitudinal pregnant people and infant surveillance and Birth Defects surveillance/registry systems, as well as provide services to support CDC activities related to neonatal abstinence syndrome to make use of existing state bio surveillance and other surveillance tools to improve voluntary, de-identified prenatal and newborn health data.

Data may include opioid-related information before and during pregnancy to reduce risks associated with neonatal abstinence syndrome and optimize care.
