DataHaven working to address gender and health equity issues in Connecticut
We're currently engaged in several projects aimed at improving gender and health disparities:
- Health Equity Data Analytics: In conjunction with Health Equity Solutions, Yale Equity Research and Innovation Center, Connecticut's Health Information Technology Office, and UConn AIMS, DataHaven is working to evaluate health equity issues and data to inform Connecticut's forthcoming statewide Health Information Exchange.
- Statewide Health Equity Report: With the support of the Connecticut Health Foundation, DataHaven will utilize detailed, local-level data on the health and well-being of Connecticut residents to develop a statewide report on health equity indicators.
- Fairfield County's Community Foundation Fund for Women & Girls Needs Assessment: DataHaven has partnered with the FCCF Fund for Women & Girls to develop a needs assessment that will act as a platform to increase opportunity, access, and equity for women and girls in Fairfield County.
