Course Description

Public health actions should be informed by data, and opportunities to use data that can inform public health interventions are everywhere. In this course, you will build your data- and evidence-based public health skills and confidence. You will explore trusted and reliable sources of public health data and look for themes and disparities that can answer your questions about a community's health and wellbeing.

You will identify factors in your own community that contribute to positive or negative public health outcomes and practice supporting your perspective with data. Finally, you will connect those factors to the organizations and services that can help address them, offering recommendations you can use to serve and improve the health of the community in which you live or work.
