MISSION

The mission of the Health Policy Statistics Section (HPSS) is to accelerate health and healthcare research by encouraging statistical best practices and promoting cross-sector collaboration and knowledge exchange among government, academia, and industry. Through premier scientific conferences as well as webinars and strategic partnerships, we elevate the development, application, and dissemination of high-quality health data and advanced statistical methods to inform evidence-based decision-making.

 

We are a vibrant community of over 1000 members and foster a collegial, supportive, and intellectually dynamic environment. Committed to the future of the field, we invest in emerging talent and the future of health research through student paper competitions, structured membership opportunities, and meaningful engagement across the American Statistical Association (ASA) and broader health ecosystem. We also provide guidance to HPSS members who are interested in becoming an ASA Fellow.
