The Racial Equity Data Road Map is a tool toward eliminating structural racism. It’s a collection of guiding questions, tools, and resources to assist programs in taking concrete steps to better identify, understand, and act to address racial inequities. The Road Map provides a suggested methodology for programs to assess their progress in addressing racial inequities in service delivery and health outcomes. This is not a rigid process that must be followed step by step. Rather, it is a collection of guiding questions, tools, and resources that can be customized to best suit the needs of programs with different levels of capacity in data analysis, quality improvement, and racial equity reframing techniques. There are multiple entry points to the Road Map so programs may start at different places.
