Real-World Impact: The Trusted Messengers Story

See data in action with the Allergy & Asthma Network’s Trusted Messengers program. To maximize the impact of their outreach to underserved populations, Allergy & Asthma Network turned to the Asthma Equity Explorer. By analyzing hyper-local data on asthma prevalence alongside social determinants of health, they were able to move beyond guesswork and pinpoint specific neighborhoods where the burden of disease was highest. This precision allowed them to deploy community educators exactly where they were needed most, ensuring vital resources reached the families who would benefit immediately.

Use Data to Create Change in Your Community

Your organization can achieve this same level of targeted impact. Whether you are allocating funding, planning a public health campaign, or advocating for policy changes, the Asthma Equity Explorer provides the granular insights necessary to move from observation to action. Don’t just look at the map, use it to uncover the hidden disparities driving health outcomes in your area.
