CPEHN Webinar, May 16th

Webinar: Understanding the New Federal Demographic Data Standards

On March 28th, the federal Office of Management and Budget released revised standards for the collection of race and ethnicity data, with the goal of better reflecting the diversity of the United States. These standards had not been updated since 1997, which hampered health equity efforts that rely on data that accurately reflects our communities. CPEHN and other health equity stakeholders weighed in on proposed changes, advocating for greater inclusion and granularity.

Please join us on Thursday, May 16 at 11am to learn what the new standards are and what they mean for California’s health equity efforts. Speakers will also address the extent to which the new standards accurately represent diverse communities, and the work that remains to be done.

 Speakers:
Ignatius Bau, Health Equity Consultant
Seciah Aquino, Latino Coalition for a Healthy California
Amin Nash, California MENA Coalition
Christine Blake, California Health and Human Services Agency
Andrew Lee, Southeast Asia Resource Action Center

CPEHN is happy to provide interpretation upon request. Please email caguilar@cpehn.org no later than Thursday, May 9th.
