2. Introduction CDC data: meaningful and translatable Communicate with county- and state-level health professionals Milestone 1 goal – CDC data more accessible – How to accomplish that goal?

3. Study design Interview: Chris Uejio – Identified areas for further evaluation – Discussed issues faced by CDC grantees while accessing data Interview: Shubhayu Saba – Changed our focus (less technical) – Emphasized metadata Comparative analysis – Climate data interfaces – Downscaled datasets

4. Study Results Original focus – Technical details of working with climate data – Considered R, SAS, other statistical packages Altered focus – Grantees want to understand… How are climate measurements generated? What are limitations? How do we interpret those measurements? – Can we gather this type of information together from multiple resources?

5. Ideation and Selection Project Heuristic Evaluation R Documentation One Variable Explanation User Research and Interviews Makes data more translatable 3443 Helpful to users3342 Helpful to CDC3443 Does not exist elsewhere 4254 Feasibility3342 Scale: 1=not at all true, 5=very true

6. Refined Scope and Concepts Where does downscaled data come from? What variables go into it? What does it mean? How can I use it in my region? How have other people used it in their local areas?

7. Conclusion Well-defined scope – Focus on one climate indicator – Provide documentation about how to interpret data Future work – Interview county-level stakeholder – Better define user base
