UBC VP Health: Join the conversation about the respectful and equity-oriented collection and use of disaggregated data

UBC Health and its partners are committed to being part of ongoing conversations about the collection and use of disaggregated data. A series of disaggregated data dialogue sessions hosted by UBC Health resulted in participants recognizing the need for principles and guidelines for the collection and use of disaggregated data. To start this process, UBC Health is working with the research community to identify and synthesize resources that can support researchers in applying respectful and equity-addressing principles in the collection and use of disaggregated data.

Researchers are invited to use an online interactive tool to share resources that guide their work. This may include principles, guidance, reports, papers, authors, individuals, UBC units, and/or organizations.

After gathering the information, UBC Health will highlight results at future sessions of its Disaggregated Data Dialogue Series, with the intent of creating a set of evolving best practices for disaggregated data.

For more information about this initiative, visit the UBC Health website, or access the online tool.

The deadline to provide resources and input is June 30, 2022.
