The NW Tribal Data Hub provides Tribes in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington with secure, direct, and easy access to public health data on topics such as demographics, cancer, substance use and overdose, hospitalizations, leading cause of death, and other public health issues within their Tribal area. Tribes gain access to the Data Hub through a secure login and are able to view, interact with, and download data through visual and interactive dashboards. Each Tribe will be able to view aggregated data within their Tribal service area, state, and the Northwest region. The Northwest Tribal Data Hub (NW Tribal Data Hub), is a project of the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) Northwest Tribal EpiCenter (NWTEC).
The primary function of the Data Hub is to connect Tribal communities with their data. Tribal communities need reliable, useable community data to inform health policy, communities, and leaders. Access to data improves a community’s ability to focus public health programming and inform funding proposals. Ultimately, the project will expand to provide Tribes with additional health topics and a regularly updated, comprehensive community health profile.
