• Description:
  Effective public health means equitable public health. Data can help us get there.
  
  CDC’s Data Modernization Initiative (DMI) is bridging the gap between the data we have now and the data we need to fully understand and address the drivers of health disparities. We are taking action toward more equitable public health by making data more complete, higher quality, more accessible, and more representative of all people.
  
  Our goal is an “equity-centered” data system that accounts for social factors that have an impact on health, such as where people live, their environment, their income and jobs, the discrimination they face, and their access to health care.
