The DATA2020 HealthyPeople.gov data search function just got more user friendly. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, National Center for Health Statistics, and Office of Minority Health, partners in DATA2020, have released a shareable widget that gives users easy access to regularly updated information.
The health disparities tool at DATA2020 lets users sort and view health disparities by demographic groups, including race/ethnicity, age, disability status, and geographic location. Users also can easily navigate and visualize data and changes in disparities over time; compare data points for each population group; and see all rates, rate ratios, confidence intervals and other technical details about data collection.
The new widget is an easy way (by simply copying the provided code) to share health disparities information on individual websites. Users can browse by disparity type or by Leading Health Indicator. The widget needs no maintenance; content updates automatically.
