Data Collection Tool
The Mapping Medicare Disparities (MMD) Population View provides a user-friendly way to explore and better understand disparities in chronic diseases, and allows users to: (1) visualize health outcome measures at a national, state, or county level; (2) explore health outcome measures by age, sex, race and ethnicity; (3) compare differences between two geographic locations (e.g., benchmark against the national average); and (4) compare differences between two racial and ethnic groups within the same geographic area.

Data Collection Tool
The Neighborhood Atlas website was created in order to freely share measures of neighborhood disadvantage with the public, including educational institutions, health systems, not-for-profit organizations, and government agencies, in order to make these metrics available for use in research, program planning, and policy development. The Area Deprivation Index allows for rankings of neighborhoods by socioeconomic disadvantage in a region of interest (e.g., at the state or national level). It includes factors for the theoretical domains of income, education, employment, and housing quality.
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.
Emerging Practices that show potential to achieve desirable public health outcomes in a specific real-life setting and produce early results that are consistent with the objectives of the activities and thus indicate effectiveness.

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.
