Prioritizing Equity in Data and Research

Описание: On April 21, 2021 ASTHO held a national convening of state and territorial health officials with local and federal partners on Prioritizing Equity in Public Health. This virtual meeting served as a forum for state and territorial health practitioners to learn about emergent public health issues and apply evidence-based and promising practices to address structural racism and advance health and racial equity.

In this breakout session, the critical importance of framing data and research to advance health equity by addressing the root causes of health inequities was highlighted. From authentically engaging communities and being intentional about how we collect and use data to incorporating racism and intersectionality explicitly in research projects, panelists shared practical approaches to apply in public health agency research.
