Join Margarita Birnbaum, AHCJ’s core topic leader for health equity, and Samantha Breslin, program director at NYU, for a tour of the new Congressional District Health Dashboard. This free website gives journalists, policymakers and advocates a one-stop resource of unbiased, nonpartisan data at the congressional-district level to inform the development of policies that give everyone the opportunity for good health and well-being. Developed by the Department of Population Health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, in partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Dashboard provides first-of-its-kind data on health and conditions that affect health, including diabetes rates, rent burden, lack of insurance, and broadband access, in every congressional district across the country.
You’ll learn how to use the data to report on health and social policy topics most relevant to your beat; how to view customized health snapshots and interactive maps; how to identify local, state, and regional trends; how to look at how districts compare to others on key measures; and how to go deeper on key findings across congressional districts.
