About HDPulse
HDPulse Data Portal
The objective of the Data Portal is to provide an ecosystem to characterize health disparities to motivate action to reduce health disparities. Interactive graphics and maps provide visual support for deciding where to focus public health disparities control efforts.
The target audiences are health planners, policy makers, public health information providers, and researchers who need quick and easy access to pertinent data to explore statistics to identify research opportunities.
- The Data (Links) page provides data to analyze health disparities.
- The Analytic Tools page provides tools to analyze health disparities.
- Analyses page links to analyses that shed light on health disparities.
The Data Portal brings together data that are collected from public health surveillance systems by using either their published reports or public use files. There is always a lag prior to data release. Data are the most recent that have completed the national data synthesis and quality assurance processes.
