HEALTH EQUITY TRACKER PROJECT
We aim to create a collaborative, multidisciplinary, multisector, public-facing data platform devoted to addressing the health equity implications for vulnerable populations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Engaging with diverse communities across the country to develop policy templates for local, state and federal policymakers, and develop and publish a state-by-state report card or county-by-county report card based on five to ten objectives/thresholds determined by a national panel of experts under our COVID-19 Health Equity Commission (CHEC).
This project analyzes jurisdictional policies that either exacerbate or alleviate COVID-19 outcomes, comorbidities, resource allocation/management, jurisdictions’ response, and mitigation strategies, testing, and contact tracing, and overall implications for health equity for vulnerable populations.
