AISP Network: Massachusetts Public Health Data Warehouse (PHD)

About the Work

The Public Health Data Warehouse (PHD) is a truly unique public health data analysis tool that links multiple data sets across state and local government to help address public health priorities.

The PHD was created in 2017, originally to provide unprecedented access to data across government to identify trends and target resources to confront the opioid epidemic. Since then, the PHD has provided timely, multi-year data to spur analysis of other pressing population health issues, including maternal and child health disparities, substance use, COVID-19, and the effects of climate change on health.

Massachusetts Public Health Data Warehouse (PHD) is hosted by Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
