Data and Disability Inclusion

Disability inclusion in data is important to understand the health impacts of public health issues on people with disabilities. By collecting and analyzing disability-related metrics, health agencies can identify disparities, improve accessibility, and develop equitable programs. In these resources, ASTHO shares perspectives on inclusive data collection practices, as well as resources to help public health agencies better address the health needs of individuals with disabilities through data.
