We\u2019re proud to share that research and expertise from the Center for Prevention Evaluation and Statistics (CPES) at UConn Health, <\/strong> led by Dr. Megan O\u2019Grady, were featured in a recent article published by The Pew Charitable Trusts<\/strong>, highlighting Connecticut\u2019s leadership in cross-sector data sharing to strengthen public health policy and practice.<\/p>\n

\n

The Pew article, \u201cImproving Connecticut\u2019s Public Health Through Cross-Sector Data-Sharing,\u201d<\/em> examines how Connecticut is using collaborative, cross-agency data efforts to inform prevention strategies and improve health outcomes statewide. Central to this work is the State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW) Prevention Data Portal<\/strong>, a resource developed through partnerships among the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), CPES at UConn Health, and the Connecticut Data Collaborative.<\/p>\n

CPES plays a key role in supporting and managing the Prevention Data Portal, which brings together local, state, and federal data sources to make complex public health information accessible and actionable. The portal provides free, publicly available products\u2014including epidemiological profiles, data stories, and infographics\u2014covering topics such as substance use, mental health, suicide, and other critical public health issues affecting communities across Connecticut.<\/p>\n

As Pew notes, Connecticut\u2019s experience demonstrates how strong leadership, cross-sector partnerships, and practical use cases can help overcome common barriers to data sharing\u2014without requiring major new investments in infrastructure. The lessons highlighted in the article offer a roadmap for other states seeking to use data more effectively to guide prevention, promote health equity, and inform policy decisions.<\/p>\n

This national recognition underscores CPES\u2019s ongoing commitment to data-driven prevention and collaboration in service of healthier communities. We invite you to read the full Pew article to learn more about how Connecticut\u2019s approach to cross-sector data sharing is making an impact\u2014and how CPES research continues to support this important work.<\/p>\n
