Abstract

BACKGROUND

Data dashboards have become more widely used for the public communication of health-related data, including in maternal health.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to evaluate the content and features of existing publicly available maternal health dashboards in the United States.

METHODS

Through systematic searches, we identified 80 publicly available, interactive dashboards presenting US maternal health data. We abstracted and descriptively analyzed the technical features and content of identified dashboards across four areas: (1) scope and origins, (2) technical capabilities, (3) data sources and indicators, and (4) disaggregation capabilities. Where present, we abstracted and qualitatively analyzed dashboard text describing the purpose and intended audience.

RESULTS

Most reviewed dashboards reported state-level data (58/80, 72%) and were hosted on a state health department website (48/80, 60%). Most dashboards reported data from only 1 (33/80, 41%) or 2 (23/80, 29%) data sources. Key indicators, such as the maternal mortality rate (10/80, 12%) and severe maternal morbidity rate (12/80, 15%), were absent from most dashboards. Included dashboards used a range of data visualizations, and most allowed some disaggregation by time (65/80, 81%), geography (65/80, 81%), and race or ethnicity (55/80, 69%). Among dashboards that identified their audience (30/80, 38%), legislators or policy makers and public health agencies or organizations were the most common audiences.

CONCLUSIONS

While maternal health dashboards have proliferated, their designs and features are not standard. This assessment of maternal health dashboards in the United States found substantial variation among dashboards, including inconsistent data sources, health indicators, and disaggregation capabilities. Opportunities to strengthen dashboards include integrating a greater number of data sources, increasing disaggregation capabilities, and considering end-user needs in dashboard design.

摘要

背景

数据仪表盘在卫生相关数据的公众传播中变得越来越广泛，包括在孕产妇健康领域。

目的

我们旨在评估美国现有的公开可得的孕产妇健康仪表盘的内容和特点。

方法

通过系统搜索，我们确定了 80 个公开的、互动的仪表盘，展示了美国孕产妇健康数据。我们从四个方面对确定的仪表盘的技术特征和内容进行了抽象和描述性分析：（1）范围和来源，（2）技术能力，（3）数据源和指标，以及（4）分解能力。如果存在，我们对仪表盘文本进行了抽象和定性分析，描述了目的和预期受众。

结果

大多数审查的仪表盘报告了州级数据（58/80，72%），并在州卫生部门网站上托管（48/80，60%）。大多数仪表盘报告了仅来自 1 个（33/80，41%）或 2 个（23/80，29%）数据源的数据。大多数仪表盘缺少关键指标，如孕产妇死亡率（10/80，12%）和严重孕产妇发病率（12/80，15%）。包括的仪表盘使用了各种数据可视化，并且大多数允许按时间（65/80，81%）、地理（65/80，81%）和种族或族裔（55/80，69%）进行一些分解。在确定受众的仪表盘（30/80，38%）中，立法者或政策制定者以及公共卫生机构或组织是最常见的受众。
