Data to Policy Requires

• Collecting the correct data well before the point
  that the issue requires policy decisions,
• Collecting similar data in different locations to
  compare and set standards and baselines,
• Collecting long-term data so that sufficient data
  points are available to have near certain
  conclusions,
• Selecting proper analytical methods that are
  defensible,
• Setting objectives and standards so that a
  context may be provided,
• Testing conclusions, often at management sites,
• Providing the information in ways that are
  meaningful to citizens and elected officials, and
• Delivering findings to the officials when they
  need the information.
