Abstract / Description

Takeaways: Sharing data across state agencies and community-based organizations is critical for advancing health equity and addressing complex health challenges that involve multiple sectors. Including individuals with lived expertise in data sharing and policy development can make these efforts more responsive to the needs of community members, particularly those in historically marginalized populations. Insights from individuals with lived expertise provide valuable context to inform data-sharing efforts that is critical to improving health equity.

This brief highlights key lessons to inform data-sharing partnerships between community-based organizations, state agencies, and individuals with lived expertise and outlines data-sharing considerations for engaging community members in all aspects of data-sharing.
