CHEI has partnered with three regional Data & Action Support Providers across Massachusetts to offer capacity building and assistance in using Community Health Equity Survey (CHES) data for action. The purpose of the Data & Action Support model is to share data back with community-based organizations, municipalities, health systems, and other partners. Data & Action Support Providers will offer assistance in using data to inform programming, apply for grant funding, and advocate for policies that reduce health inequities.
Data & Action Support Providers are currently available to:
- Fulfill customized CHES data requests for your geography and/or community of focus
- Support you in engaging residents from your community to contextualize findings and prioritize action steps
- Provide capacity building and resources to take action to address health inequities
