For democratic access and to adapt to current pandemic issues all events are virtual via Zoom.
This workshop will look at the strategies and methods to successfully engage with communities and their lived experience.
Due to misconceptions data is seen as immutable, this framing of data often harms marginalised communities experiencing poor health outcomes due environmental racism or classism.
More importantly, it is used to dismiss their claims and continue with “business as usual”, creating a deeper health crisis.
Data seems to be the way forward in public health and when used correctly it can best used to create insights that have never been at our fingertips. However, data needs to be probably understood both in its definition and in practice.
As the private sector endeavours to better account for health outcomes it is important to acknowledge how to read health and urban data to avoid errors.
