Recognizing the critical need for accurate and up-to-date data when assessing communities and planning for implementation, the Center of Excellence has developed the dashboard to empower community members and professionals alike. By making this data more accessible, individuals and organizations will be able to gain deeper insights into the challenges their communities face and use this knowledge to drive meaningful change.
“The availability of this centralized data resource will benefit a wide range of users, from local leaders to public health professionals, providing a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting community well-being,” said Tammy Collins, Ph.D., associate director for the Center of Excellence for Recovery. “Our goal is to support informed decision-making and enhance the effectiveness of community initiatives.”
The dashboard will be accessible via a link that will be shared on Prevention Day. Individuals are encouraged to follow the Center of Excellence for Recovery on Facebook to be among the first to access this valuable tool.
To further support users in navigating and utilizing the data effectively, the Center of Excellence will be offering a virtual training session at 1 p.m. Aug. 20. This training will provide guidance on understanding the data and applying it to community-focused efforts. Interested participants can register at https://forms.office.com/r/GNHdSbtgAW.
This project was supported in part by a FFY 2023 Congressional Directive Spending Projects FG-22-099 SAMSHA Grant awarded to Marshall University Research Corporation.
