Through our Public Health and Safety Insights, the American Red Cross is excited to share some of the analyses we have performed on data generated by our humanitarian activities, like blood donation and emergency preparedness and relief. Our purposes in sharing this data are to promote public health and safety, educate the public and media, aid in the development of health and government policy, and further clinical and outcomes research.
We hope to contribute to improving the health of people and their communities by promoting awareness of certain health hazards and trends that are apparent in our data, which may influence government policies, inform educational programs, promote research in disease and injury prevention, and supplement existing surveillance programs. Our data insights and analysis will be openly and freely accessible through a web-based platform to promote an innovative and collaborative science and safety culture.
