Abstract

This analysis aimed to define the data needs of community-based organizations (CBOs) after the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design during the summer/fall of 2023, 51 CBOs completed surveys and 24 participated in subsequent interviews. The CBOs provided social services to Black, Latinx, Asian, and/or low-income communities in the Chicago region. They varied in size, funding sources, and focus areas. Results showed that all used data, and 82.4% used population-level data. Data use expansion was limited by funding, staffing, data management systems, and skills. Existing population-level data was not sufficiently hyper-local, updated, and culturally appropriate to meet CBOs' needs. Community-based organization data needs and challenges have not changed significantly post-COVID despite rapid expansion of data availability. Findings highlight a need for long-term infrastructure funding and partnership from external agencies. Flexible tailored approaches to support CBOs are essential to increase social trust in data and ensure CBO missions remain community-driven.

基于社区的组织如何看待和使用数据：实践、挑战和机遇。

该分析旨在确定COVID-19大流行后社区组织（cbo）的数据需求。在2023年夏/秋，通过混合方法解释顺序设计，51名cbo完成了调查，24名cbo参加了随后的访谈。cbo为芝加哥地区的黑人、拉丁裔、亚裔和/或低收入社区提供社会服务。它们的规模、资金来源和重点领域各不相同。结果表明：全部采用数据，82.4%采用人口水平数据。数据使用的扩展受到资金、人员、数据管理系统和技能的限制。现有的人口水平数据不够本地化、更新和文化适宜，无法满足cbo的需求。尽管数据可用性迅速扩大，但基于社区的组织的数据需求和挑战在covid - 19后并未发生显着变化。调查结果强调了长期基础设施融资和外部机构合作的必要性。支持CBO的灵活定制方法对于提高社会对数据的信任和确保CBO任务始终由社区驱动至关重要。
