Our Collaborations

This project will incorporate the perspectives, data, and suggestions of representatives from five perspectives. This will happen through group discussions, focus groups, surveys, and written feedback.

Our Co-Design Process

A co-design process will be used to co-create data products that make prioritized data available to local decision makers.

Our Evaluation and Dissemination Process

We will study the public health and service system impacts of our data products with a rigorous trial. We plan to learn more about data-driven decision making, system collaborations, and which data points are most valuable to local decision makers.

This work is in collaboration with numerous community partners, research consultants, and research colleagues at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA). We thank them for their valuable contributions to the project!
