White Paper/Brief
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) initiated a quality improvement project to improve use of data for action to promote racial equity. To address the challenges identified in the study, the team identified potential solutions and prioritized development and piloting of the MDPH Racial Equity Data Road Map (Road Map). The Road Map framework provides strategies for data collection and uses that to support the direction of actionable data-driven resources to racial inequities. The Road Map is a resource to support programs to authentically engage communities; frame data in the broader contexts that impact health; and design solutions that address root causes.
Promising Practices that show evidence of effectiveness in improving public health outcomes in a specific real-life setting, as indicated by achievement of aims consistent with the objectives of the activities, and are suitable for adaptation by other communities.

Peer Review Study, Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
The authors conducted a systematic review to understand disparities in H1N1 vaccine uptake by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, rural/urban residence, population density, and disability status, and factors associated with unequal uptake, as well as the benefits and harms of interventions designed to attenuate inequities in H1N1 vaccine uptake—in an effort to address potential disparities in COVID-19 vaccine access and uptake.

White Paper/Brief
The article discusses the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) redesign and stakeholder engagement in 2020. It describes data collection and data release adaptations CHIS made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, considers the implications of these changes on data quality, and discusses future implications on data collection for population-based surveys such as the CHIS. The two principal objectives are strongly aligned with the policy data demands of understanding the unequal toll of the pandemic on California counties and on racial and ethnic groups.

White Paper/Brief
This study discusses the creation of a dataset that tracked COVID-19 cases and deaths by municipalities in New Jersey from April 22, 2020, to December 31, 2020. Data were drawn primarily from official county and municipality websites. Municipality-level data are essential for advancing more targeted and nuanced understanding of geographic-based risk and resilience associated with COVID-19.
