Indicators and Health Disparities: Are They Enough

With the advent of health data in easily accessible electronic formats there has been a recent explosion of indicators. This session will explore the use of indicators to measure health disparities, target interventions, and to serve as outcomes of interventions. Presentations will be made regarding the different levels of government and society that are using indicators, what they are using them for, how they are using them, and the results they are finding from their use.
