About Us
Atlas Analytics is a public health research and evaluation consultancy that helps health and social impact organizations move from uncertainty about their data to clear, credible evidence they can act on.
We specialize in translating complexity into clarity.

Our services include:
Program Evaluation & Measurement
Strategic Planning & Needs Assessment
Project & Program Management
Data, Methods & Analytic Infrastructure
We work with private foundations, nonprofits and NGOs, state and local government agencies, and academic research teams — primarily across mental health and substance use disorders, chronic disease prevention, and health equity and the social determinants of health.
Our Mission:Core Values:At Atlas Analytics, our mission is to produce rigorous, actionable evidence that helps mission-driven organizations improve health outcomes and advance equity. We believe good data, done right, should be a tool for change — not a compliance exercise.
1. Methodological Rigor We hold ourselves to academic standards of evidence — because the decisions our clients make with our work are too important for anything less.
2. Health Equity at the Center We design every engagement with equity in mind — in who we engage, what we measure, and how we report findings.
3. Practical Utility Evidence only matters if it gets used. We build toward implementation from day one — translating findings into formats that leaders and funders can act on.
4. Honest Partnership We tell clients what the data actually says — including when it's complicated, inconvenient, or unclear.
5. Continuous Learning Public health is a moving field. We stay current in methods, data sources, and emerging evidence so our clients don't have to.
