The Health Foundation: Evidence Hub
- We work with the team at the Health Foundation to run its Evidence Hub, which explores how our circumstances shape our health.
- Together, we create new insights into health inequalities. We have, for example, recently added a dashboard on the wider determinants of health at local authority level, which you can explore at the link.
- We support the Health Foundation team in a collaborative way, by providing regular updates to the indicators, shaping the new topic sections together and maintaining the dashboard.
- We also work with the team to rapidly shape insights from newly released data for their socials channels to help them maintain their voice on current salient health issues.
TESTIMONIAL
Dave Finch, Assistant Director at the Health Foundation, said:
“Working with WPI Economics on the Evidence Hub is a real partnership. We wanted to harness the available data to highlight the current state of the building blocks of health – factors like good work, adequate incomes and secure housing – and how they relate to health inequalities in order to support decision-making on how to tackle these challenges.
“The WPI Economics team have streamlined our approach to processing the complex data, and brought brilliant data visualisation and interrogation skills, which have really added to what we can showcase. The local authority dashboard they have created has generated a lot of engagement and means the analysis now goes down to an even more granular, localised level. The Evidence Hub is now frequently used by policymakers and those making the case for change.”
