Workshop: Diversifying Data Sources to Advance Health Equity
The Healthy Wisconsin Leadership Institute and the MATCH Group of the UW Population Health Institute are excited to host a free workshop for staff from local health departments and tribal health clinics who are interested in using qualitative data to understand the impact of the opioid crisis in their community.
Workshop Description
Ethical and equitable data collection can support efforts to operationalize and advance health equity. How we collect data defines what approaches we take in health promotion and prevention. Community conversations are one way to engage with community stakeholders and incorporate data about community conditions. Using appreciative inquiry, community conversations reveal and harness collective wisdom to identify assets and mobilize residents to shape solutions.
This interactive training will focus on best practices, tools, and strategies for engaging community in data collection and community health improvement processes. The Health Equity Alliance of Rock County will share a case example of their work. By the end of this training, participants will have practiced engagement approaches and will have a strategy for using community conversations for data collection and analysis.
Training Objectives
- Explore the foundations of health equity and equitable data collection for community health needs assessments
- Understand the appreciative inquiry approach to community engagement
- Identify best practices for hosting community conversations to support community engaged data collection
- Practice using appreciative inquiry and best practices for community conversations
Intended Audience
This training is designed for staff of local health departments and tribal health clinics who want to learn about collecting and using qualitative data to enhance their understanding of how the opioid epidemic is affecting all members of the community. There is no attendance fee for those who wish to participate.
