Data Portal

The Data Portal characterizes the burden of disparities across the United States and within communities. Users have the capability to:

• Use interactive graphics and maps to assess the magnitude of health disparities
• Explore spatial and temporal trends
• Identify geographic patterns
• Examine determinants along a social ecological framework

The Data Portal provides resources to help prioritize the focus of research and public health efforts to reduce disparities and improve minority health.

Interventions Portal

The Interventions Portal provides access to a repository of interventions and resources that can help researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and communities implement and evaluate evidence-based interventions. The Interventions Portal allows users such as minority health and health disparities researchers, program planners, and intervention developers to submit, find, sort, and download evidence-based interventions and resources.
