Implementation Guide
This article describes how Delaware’s Department of Public Health tracks geographic areas with low vaccination uptake and compares this data with information on areas of high social vulnerability as determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Social Vulnerability Index. The department also works with federally qualified health centers, providers, and pharmacies to deliver services to historically marginalized populations in the state.
Best Practices that show evidence of effectiveness in improving public health outcomes when implemented in multiple real-life settings, as indicated by achievement of aims consistent with the objectives of the activities.

Toolkit
The PhenX Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Assessments Collection, now available in the PhenX Toolkit, contains protocols to help measure upstream factors that shape behaviors and health outcomes. The PhenX Toolkit provides recommended standard data collection protocols for conducting biomedical research. The protocols are selected by working groups of domain experts using a consensus process, which includes the scientific community. The toolkit provides detailed protocols for collecting data and tools to help investigators incorporate these protocols into their studies. Using protocols from the PhenX Toolkit facilitates cross-study analysis, potentially increasing the scientific impact of individual studies.

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.

Commentary
This article provides an overview of the link between racism and COVID-19 disparities, missing race and ethnicity data, and literature on demographic data gaps. The authors also provide recommendations on how health departments and healthcare systems can engage communities of color to co-develop race and ethnicity data collection processes.

Commentary
This article outlines a framework for partnering with Indigenous nations in research and data collection and calls for the need for equitable data use agreements. The framework guidelines include (1) incorporating respect and collaboration early in negotiations; (2) recognition that specificity of terms is key to trust-building; (3) remembering that good data stewardship entails safeguarding; and (4) building sustainable relationships.
