[SAMHDA] New online analysis interface released

[Updates and new releases]

The following are announcements from the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Data Archive (SAMHDA): 

 

New Online Analysis (SDA) Interface Released

 

SAMHDA has upgraded the interface for Survey Documentation and Analysis
(SDA), its online data analysis system. The new interface provides
increased functionality and navigation. Users may still use the original
interface by selecting the link in the upper-left hand corner of the new
interface entitled "Use Classic Interface." All of the statistical
procedures are available as they were previously. One major difference
in the new interface is that users no longer need to open the codebook
in a separate browser to view variables. Also, users can now switch
between the various statistical procedures without having to return to
the main analysis page. For more information on these changes, please
read our Frequently Asked Question (FAQ), "What enhancements are
available when using SDA 3.1? The link to the FAQ is
