NYC Advances Public Health Workforce Data Literacy Through PHIG
Success StoriesWith PHIG support, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Center for Population Health Data Science (CPHDS) launched efforts to enhance data literacy across its public health workforce and public health literacy across its technology workforce, through micro-clinics, demonstrations, trainings, and regular updates on infrastructure and governance initiatives. PHIG funding also supported the growth of public health surveillance work through the expansion of the agency’s in-house survey panel to 35,000 adults and new qualitative analyses to better understand mental health, the long-term impacts of COVID-19, and reproductive healthcare access and experiences in the city.
