• A 2024 CORE webinar explores how community organizations can find and use publicly available data to support their work and programs.
• View the webinar to learn about the benefits of publicly available data, key sources, and opportunities to use it, including demonstrating how to build reports with American Community Survey data.

There are many ways to classify data, including qualitative, quantitative, administrative, survey, GIS, primary, and secondary. 

In a recent webinar, CORE's Data for Change team convened a group of community partners to explore the varied world of secondary data sources. In the webinar, we discuss how organizations can learn about their area’s health outcomes, demographics, and social determinants of health needs by accessing reputable secondary data sources. We also delve into:

• The benefits of publicly available data
