Designing and implementing a solid longitudinal health survey is challenging yet rewarding when the study is making progress and the reporting of results becomes appropriate. Although the research questions are designed in the beginning, a significant amount of time often passes before the data is ready to be analyzed and reported for public consumption. It is important to keep the goals of the study in mind throughout the data collection and management as it greatly affects what can be analyzed and reported in the end. An overview of things to consider when approaching data analysis and reporting will be provided.
