Exceptional CT-specific data training resources

Effective health advocacy requires evidence. Persuading policymakers, funders, providers, and consumers is a lot easier if you can demonstrate the need and why your option is the best solution.

Data analysis can seem intimidating, but there is help. The nonprofit CT Data Collaborative is a state treasure, offering accessible, understandable training in practical tools across data analysis and communication skills. I have taken many of their trainings, some more than once. They are also the best training bargain in the state.

CT Data Collaborative has two upcoming trainings in Middletown in just the next few weeks.
