This self-paced training serves as an opportunity to explore how: (1) structural and implicit biases, (2) incomplete, non-human-centered narratives, and (3) the persistent undervaluing of Indigenous voices uphold power imbalances in data collection in public health.

Presenters will explore why, how, when, and where transformational change must occur in data collection and management to truly center historically excluded people, their communities, and the health equity work that they continue.

These human-centered conversations will allow participants to explore practical case studies, hear from nuanced subject matter experts, and have an opportunity to reflect upon their own experiences.
