(P-B12) Moving Maternal and Child Health Data to Action in Alameda County, CA

Alameda County Public Health Department’s Maternal, Paternal, Child, and Adolescent Health (MPCAH) unit offers 15 programs within its Starting Out Strong System of Care, with the goals of promoting positive pregnancy outcomes and supporting thriving families. MPCAH and Community Assessment, Planning, and Evaluation (CAPE) teams annually publish an MPCAH Indicators slide deck and summary table online to promote data sharing. A graduate intern updated and standardized these materials, adding increased context and infographics on structural determinants of health. After reviewing racial/ethnic disparities for indicators such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, the student used a data-to-action framework to inform additional literature review, evaluations, and Infant Mortality Review projects.
