Description

Using data to improve outcomes for opportunity youth means understanding all opportunity youth. Applying an equity lens to your data strategy is essential to understanding all the sub-groups of opportunity youth, and to designing effective strategies to address their unique needs. However, pursuing equity in your data strategy can be challenging because of the biases built into existing data systems and how they are connected, thus, interpretation, target setting, and planning must be done with explicit attention to potential bias. In this workshop, participants will be guided through the steps to take and questions to ask to reduce bias and to advance their data strategy through an equity lens.
