Policy Target
Data collection
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Initiatives use routine, reliable administrative data for assessment, when appropriate. Initiatives ensure (i) modernized data collection systems and linkage procedures are in place and (ii) data are up-to-date and can be linked with other databases.
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Number/percentage of government units or organizations releasing reports with current statistics
- Number/percentage of government units or organizations reporting associations between socioeconomic and cultural factors and financial strain or financial wellbeing
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Initiatives seek to implement data collection systems that support long-term assessment where administrative data is unavailable or incomplete.
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Availability of new ongoing or periodic databases
- Availability of qualitative data to contextualize statistics
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Relevant and comprehensive demographic and socioeconomic data (e.g., race/ethnicity, sex, gender, socioeconomic status, immigration status) is routinely collected to allow for stratified analysis to better understand different groups’ needs.
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Availability of systematic collection of data categorizing identities and backgrounds
- Number/percentage of government units or organizations presenting stratified or targeted data analysis
