About this Recording
This presentation will describe the Racial Equity Data Road Map, a tool developed at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to facilitate using data towards eliminating structural racism. Use of the Racial Equity Data Road Map can support programs to authentically engage communities; frame data in the broader historical and structural contexts that impact health; communicate that inequities are unfair, unjust and preventable; and design solutions that address racism and other root causes of inequities. Presenters will address common challenges related to using data to inform racial equity work, program monitoring, quality improvement and performance management.
What you'll learn
At the end of the recording, participants will be able to:
- State or identify how a racial equity approach can be applied to data, continuous quality improvement (CQI), and program implementation
- Apply strategies to enhance the use of data to promote racial equity
- List three sources of available data
