Breakout Group 2: Measuring Social Indicators
Focus Area
This group tackled the challenge of selecting and applying metrics to measure the well-being of a population. Participants explored what kinds of metrics are used to assess social and health determinants, what criteria guide the selection of these metrics, and how these measures align — or fail to align — with how affected populations perceive their own well-being.
