[LINK] Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More

[Antony Barry]

The Trump administration’s cuts to data collection efforts across various
agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the
Environmental Protection Agency, are hindering the government’s ability to
assess the effectiveness of policies and the impact of societal issues.
This loss of data, from drug use trends to maternal mortality rates, could
have long-lasting consequences, making it difficult for future
administrations to make informed decisions. The situation is further
complicated by the administration’s contradictory stance on data, utilising
some datasets to support its claims while undermining others.
