Tools

In HD.gov the term "Tools" is used to describe applications (mostly Web-based) that use social science methods to analyze or generate either data or information through an established interface. More traditional tools can be found in the "Methods" section. The "Tools" pages contain tool descriptions, summaries of strengths and limitations, information on how to access the tools, and examples of applications and related tools and methods (if available). If you know of any tools that should be added, please submit them to the portal
