Our Timeline

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.

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

Our Co-Design 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 what data points are most valuable to local decision makers.

Our Evaluation and Dissemination Process

This work is in collaboration with numerous community partners and our research colleagues at University of California-San Diego (UCSD). We thank them for their valuable contributions to the project!
