Hearing From Our Communities: Pulse Survey Updates

Overview

As part of The Rockefeller Foundation’s Equity-First Vaccination Initiative, the Foundation’s partners in Baltimore, Chicago, Houston, Newark, and Oakland are collecting and analyzing survey data about Covid-19 vaccination with support from Mathematica. The Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities’ monthly vaccination pulse survey serves to support the Equity First Vaccination Initiative by providing up-to-date evidence about community members’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to Covid-19 vaccination, as well as potential motivators for vaccination and barriers to access. This evidence can then be used to inform the Foundation and its partners’ strategies on how to encourage vaccine uptake and will allow community-based organizations (CBOs) in these jurisdictions to adapt their work to the specific and changing needs of their communities.
