Combining Data, Policy, and Practice to Improve Public Health

Mathematica’s portfolio of projects reflects the progress made so far and the challenges that remain in achieving this year’s National Public Health Week theme of centering and celebrating cultures in health. Mathematica continues to build an evidence base that shapes and informs policy and drives positive change in public health, especially in areas we have decades of experience with—disability, mental health and substance use, and nutrition—and in new fields such as climate change and rural health. Underpinning this work is our commitment to discovering more equitable outcomes when communities lead and to infusing our approach with deep expertise in public health data and analytics.

"This is a time of reflection and action in public health," said Erin Taylor, senior vice president and managing director of Health Policy Assessment at Mathematica. "The pandemic underscored the importance of building our public health infrastructure, forging and strengthening partnerships, working collaboratively with communities, and most of all ensuring access to high-quality, accurate, and timely data. We’re taking those lessons and applying them to new projects, engaging with new clients, and expanding our work and offerings in public health."
