Data Notes

To meet the needs for rapid policy analyses on critical issues affecting health centers and the communities they serve, the Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative complements its in-depth analyses with Data Notes intended to provide timely, evidence-based information and updates on a range of health policy matters for the health center and policy communities. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, The Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative has published a special, ongoing series of data notes that present key findings from the Health Center COVID-19 Survey data.
