About this Webinar
The endeavor to digitize processes and centralize data that assess risk and grant access to vital community resources is inherently a negotiation in power, ownership, and social control. This session will explore the power dynamics inherent in public health data collection and how data integration platforms can functionally "do no harm."
What you'll learn
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the ways public health data can be used to address and reinforce social inequality
- Articulate anti-racist approaches to public health data collection
