đź“ŠData drives impact. Measuring progress toward the National Strategy requires shared metrics, strong data systems, and transparency.

The Action Alliance’s Progress, Accountability, and Data Advisory Group is advancing this work through a new Evaluation Framework, the launch of a national metrics identification group, and expanded international collaboration.

These efforts are shaping Hope Counts, a bold new national dashboard that will help partners understand what’s working, identify gaps, and take informed action to advance su***de prevention strategies.
