Finding public health insights in secondary data sources.
Effectively combatting public health issues like substance use disorder, heart disease, mental health access, and age-related challenges requires data—data that resource-starved public health agencies often can’t collect. But actionable insights can be found in existing data sources. NORC’s Public Health Analytics program area has the methods and expertise to address surveillance, evaluation, and research questions using secondary data sources such as medical payment claims, electronic health records, nationally representative surveys, and published study estimates.
