Toolkit
The toolkit describes positive and problematic practices for centering racial equity across the six stages of the data life cycle: (1) data collection, (2) data access, (3) use of algorithms and statistical tools, (4) data analysis, and (5) reporting and dissemination.

Toolkit
The Community Information Exchange (CIE) Data Equity Framework’s goal is to build data systems to help institutions, and the communities they serve, approach CIE® planning and systems change work from a place of anti-racism by: (1) naming how data system design reflects understanding of and participation by the intended beneficiaries of current programs and interventions; (2) acknowledging and documenting the effects of a spectrum of data system design types on oppressed populations and communities; (3) identifying strategies needed to eliminate the harm of current processes and practices; (4) highlighting the behavior change needed to rebuild or change the overall data system to better meet community needs across racial and ethnic populations; and (5) adopting practices that promote restorative justice and mitigate harm and exploitation.

White Paper/Brief
This article details the adaptation of the 2020 Community Health Survey by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in order to capture the impact of COVID-19 on physical health, mental health, and social determinants of health. It explains how the survey questions were adapted, how collection of survey data was adapted, and how a serosurvey was implemented. Two new polls were added, Healthy NYC and 7 Health Opinion Poll, to learn about COVID-19 related opinions, attitudes, and knowledge.

Summary Report/Recommendations
This article documents the efforts of the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander COVID-19 Response, Recovery, and Resilience Team, a partnership of academic, government, and community organizations. Their goal was to analyze the utilization, public reporting, and quality of race and ethnicity health data to inform policy changes and promote equity. Through this partnership, the group created solutions for issues such as aggregation of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in health data, how data is reported through the health department, and discussions with testing labs and health institutions to create more standardized race and ethnicity data.

Peer Review Study
This study adapted the Lorenz curve methodology to characterize disparate outcomes in COVID-19 testing across time, regions, and ZIP codes for the St. Louis and Kansas City regions. The results showed that Black individuals have half the rate of testing per case than White populations, even among Black and White individuals residing in the same ZIP code. The study calls for equitable testing strategies and routine monitoring using formal metrics to inform adaptive testing strategies.

Peer Review Study
This study used publicly available data on COVID-19 cases and deaths in the United States counties to conduct an analysis that described racial disparities in COVID-19 disease and death and associated determinants. The results of the study showed that counties with higher proportions of black people had higher prevalence of COVID-19 cases and deaths. This study also recommends that county level comparisons can inform COVID-19 responses and identify hot spots to show that social conditions, structural racism, and other factors increase the risk for COVID-19 diagnosis and deaths in Black communities.
