CSDE Affiliates Jennie Romich (Social Work), CSDE research scientist Sofia Ayala, CSDE Trainee Izzy Sederbaum (Public Policy & Governance), and colleague Santino Camacho (PhC, Social Work) were awarded a Population Health Initiative Tier 3 grant for a project, “Improving data to understand the well-being of small and excluded populations.” CSDE affiliates Scott Allard (Public Policy & Governance) and Arjee Restar (Epidemiology) along with Max Halvorson (Social Work) and Youngjun Choe (Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering) will serve as advisors to the project. Research data often renders small populations invisible. This project focuses on two populations who are rarely included and identified in sufficient numbers for group analysis in either general population surveys or administrative data, transgender (trans) people and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI). This project will establish community-informed methods and practices for identifying trans and NHPI populations within Washington State administrative data.
