For the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH), life expectancy has become a guiding metric for understanding where health inequities exist and how to address them. In a recent webinar with Metopio, CDPH epidemiologists Darlene Nolasco Magana and Bridget Brassil walked us through their approach to measuring, analyzing, and acting on life expectancy data. Here’s what we learned.
