In the Caribbean context, to assess the coherence between research themes and public health issues, we propose this graph:

Graph: Rates of diseases with the greatest impact on mortality, by country

This spider web graph illustrates the relative proportion of different disease categories and their impact on mortality in a given region. Each axis represents a specific disease category. The longer the axis, the greater the impact of that disease category on mortality.

What can the answers to this question tell us?

Strategic orientation: The graph highlights areas requiring particular attention, helping to direct public health research and action to fill gaps and strengthen evidence-based policies.

Efficient resource allocation: Helps prioritize funding and resources strategically by highlighting real public health needs, optimizing efforts to prevent, treat and manage health crises.

Capacity-building and partnerships: By identifying critical areas, the chart promotes cross-sector collaboration and targeted training, essential to building a robust response to current and future health challenges.
