Public Health Data Warehouse (PHD): How to collaborate with us

PHD supports collaborations between public, private, and non-profit organizations to analyze population health trends.

In late 2017, policymakers, program planners, and clinicians used PHD findings to develop an action plan that included prevention, intervention, treatment, recovery support, and budget and legislative initiatives to address the opioid epidemic. We would like to thank our data contributors and research partners for engaging in this critical collaboration. Without their help, we could not have assembled such a valuable tool to expand our understanding of the opioid epidemic.

Collaboration pathways

State Agencies and Other Data Providers

One way state agencies and other data providers can participate in the PHD is by becoming a data contributor. We encourage you to request a complimentary assessment of your data assets. We will be happy to evaluate the relevance, reliability, timeliness, and level of effort for the integration and management of your data assets.

Researchers and Data Analysts

Please remember that all the analyses conducted and outputs derived from the PHD are done on behalf of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the residents of the Commonwealth.

Parties interested in working with PHD data must first be deemed eligible. There are two pathways to becoming an eligible analyst to work with PHD data on behalf of the department: 

1. Submitting a response to a Notice Of Opportunity announcement and receiving Department approval. 

2. Supporting operational needs as a vendor/consultant. In this case, DPH would use one of the available state procurement vehicles to contract the appropriate services.
