Public Maternal Health Dashboards in the United States: Descriptive Assessment.

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.
