Disaggregating Race & Ethnicity Data: Findings From Community Focus Groups

This report details findings from a series of focus groups conducted by NYAM as part of the Center for Evaluation and Applied Research’s participation in a cross-sector, interdisciplinary collaborative that aims to improve collection of race and ethnicity data. These focus groups were conducted with diverse New Yorkers from across the state to gather community perspectives on race and ethnicity as well as preferences and recommendations related to race and ethnicity data collection. This work was undertaken to inform the development of tools and approaches to disaggregating race and ethnicity data in New York State.
