VIDEO LIBRARY

I2D2 was designed with a clear mission to advance a culture of “data use” that informs cross-system program improvement. Unfortunately, we also know that data are sometimes hard to find, and even harder to make sense of. This library includes brief informative videos that tell the story of I2D2, provide tutorials about hard-to-access data, and explain how data can be used to advance knowledge and strategic planning.
