Grant Received from CT Health Foundation

  • With the support of the Connecticut Health Foundation, DataHaven will utilize detailed, local-level data on the health and well-being of Connecticut residents to develop a statewide report on health equity indicators. Complementing DataHaven's 2019 Fairfield County, Greater New Haven, Greater Hartford, Valley Region, and other neighborhood-level "Community Wellbeing Index" reports, the work will allow for analysis of health issues by race and ethnicity, age, gender, zip code, and other factors, providing information that policymakers can use to examine and address health needs across Connecticut.

  • How state and local governments can buy their citizens' happiness - article published in the London School of Economics USAPP Blog summarizing results of new study by McGill University researchers using DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey results to analyze the ways in which a variety of social and economic factors impact life satisfaction. The authors write: "The insights, based on the DataHaven survey—whether at the level of the state’s entire population or at the level of a single program—can suggest cost-effective ways to improve life for the widest range of people. Increasing families’ incomes across the board would be a costly endeavor, but improving the safety net for those most affected by financial hardship, improving access to nutritious food and health care, strengthening neighborhood cohesion and walkability, and deepening people’s relationships with different levels of government may be more easily attainable, and fall within the purview of state and local governments. Getting the biggest bang for their buck, and reaching the broadest population in the process, can help decision-makers make Connecticut a better place for everyone to live.
