About the Series:
The Big IDEAs About Health Data Speaker Series brings together leading voices from across research, policy, health care and the public sector to explore how administrative data can be used to advance health equity in Canada.
Through thought-provoking presentations, speakers examine the responsible use of disaggregated data—including sex and gender, race and ethnicity, disability, income, housing, language and other social determinants of health. They also spotlight emerging research methods and data research practices that embed inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility and community perspectives into algorithms, distributed analytics, community involvement and equity assessment tools.
