Proposed US census changes threaten public health data
Original: Proposed U.S. census changes could be catastrophic for public health
Experts writing in STAT warn that proposed changes to the 2030 US census could have serious consequences for public health. Census data underpins mortality, morbidity and equity research, and any reduction in how populations are counted and categorized could leave health officials with a far weaker picture of who is getting sick and dying, undermining programs that rely on detailed demographic data.
Why now: Ongoing debate over 2030 census design has health researchers warning that poorer data could cripple disease tracking and health equity work.
