Opportunity to Impact Guidance on How Race and Ethnicity Data are Collected and Reported

Do you notice ways that race and ethnicity data could be collected or reported that would be more in line with the needs of the community? Consider joining members of the Arizona State Health Department’s Data Advisory Committee for a virtual meeting on February 7th at 11 AM to develop recommendations to revise the Federal data standards for collecting and reporting of race and ethnicity.

The feedback gathered during this meeting will help us prepare a presentation to the Federal entities responsible for revising these data standards. The current standards can be found here.

Please email holly.starr@azdhs.gov if you would like to attend this meeting to share your feedback and be involved in this effort!
