MABEL Data Users Workshop, Thursday 24 May 2017
The Centre for Research Excellence in Medical Workforce Dynamics, funded by the NHMRC, will again be holding a half-day MABEL Data Users Workshop on Wednesday 24 May 2017 from 1:30pm - 5:00pm at the Melbourne Institute at 111 Barry Street, Carlton.
Who should come to the workshop? Researchers and data analysts from Universities, governments, health sector, medical colleges and organisations, who are thinking of using MABEL data.
What will you learn? Participants will be provided with an overview of the data and MABEL survey, including information about survey content, sampling, data management and quality, response rates, and how best to access the data. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, and find out whether their research questions can be answered using the data. The workshop will be similar to previous workshops

MABEL is Australia's national longitudinal survey of doctors. It is an integral part of the Centre for Research Excellence in Medical Workforce Dynamics funded from 2012 to 2017 by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
The research undertaken will improve understanding of the determinants of decisions made by doctors on how many hours to work, where to work in terms of sector, geographic location and specialty, when to stop work temporarily or permanently, and productivity. These decisions are, in turn, a key influence on access to health care by the population, health care costs, and ultimately population health.
MABEL has been endorsed by a range of national professional medical organisations, colleges, societies and training providers. MABEL is also supported by an active National Advisory Group to ensure that the results of MABEL are used.
