Compassion inspires us, but data guides us.

From the policies we promote to the programs we develop, the work of our Child Health Data Lab informs everything we do at the Child Health Advocacy Institute.

Our data scientists use an evidence-based approach to identify and track trends in population health. They’re behind the scenes monitoring D.C. kids’ greatest health needs through:

  • Big data analysis
  • Interactive maps
  • Community input
