Positive Impact
Two newly published studies show the positive impact of Healthy Davis Together, the comprehensive pandemic response program established by the campus and city of Davis. The program, which provided access to regular COVID-19 testing, promoted vaccinations and other safety precautions, and supported local businesses, reduced test positivity rates, prevented illness and saved lives, the studies found.
The findings are reported in the American Journal of Public Health and in an independent evaluation conducted for Healthy Davis Together by Mathematica, a company focused on using data and analytics to improve public health and well-being.
