Ensuring Fair Representation of All Communities in Data Analysis (UCLA Data Equity Center Series)
PUBLISHED ON: AUGUST 20, 2025
The UCLA Data Equity Center (DEC) has launched a series of training courses for applying an equity lens to research and data projects. The series is designed to provide overviews and practical examples for implementation of each concept.
This training, presented by NORC at the University of Chicago, in collaboration with the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, equips participants with a structured framework and actionable strategies to ensure that data analysis accurately reflects the experiences and needs of all communities — emphasizing representative data systems and ethical data practices.
Housed at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, the DEC was launched in 2022 to focus on equity in all aspects of the design, collection, production, and dissemination of population health data.
A shared learning and training hub for building fairness in data across all health-related sectors, the DEC provides technical assistance, expertise, and resources to increase the representation in and access to data for marginalized populations.
