Learn how to explore our data visualization tool!
Remote Access Available
Through a hands-on workshop, you will have the unique opportunity to learn how to use a new, open-source health data mapping tool for your health cause in Oakland, San Francisco and Fresno.
Whether your focus is preterm birth or another multi-factorial health issue, the tool will enable you to geographically map several genetic, biological, environmental and sociodemographic factors in one place. By painting a clearer picture of these complex, converging factors, building these maps can strengthen your advocacy efforts with city and county officials, while also increasing public and stakeholder involvement.
RSVP today to learn how to unleash the power of your data and provide policymakers a deeper understanding of your cause.
*Participants will create their own story map using the visualization tool so personal laptops are required.
See story map examples!
