27 August 2026

Data helps us understand reality and identify opportunities to prevent violence.

As part of our commitment to disseminating evidence-based information, we continue to share the main findings from the "Collective Action for Violence Prevention: Transforming Realities Through Prevention and Collective Action" event.

That's why we've created a summary of some of the data, statistics, and insights presented during this event, where experts from various sectors discussed topics related to violence against children and youth, substance use prevention, domestic violence, and sexual violence.

Access the summary in digital magazine format: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/2552f40cd8.html.

Endocrine Society ENDO 2026

During the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society (ENDO 2026) held in Chicago, Natalia Vázquez-Colón, representing the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, presented original research on the incidence of type 1 diabetes in adolescents aged 15 to 19 in Puerto Rico.

The results showed an upward trend in incidence during the 2009–2024 period. The analysis identified a significant average annual growth of 4.1%.

The research was conducted through a collaboration between the Institute of Statistics and the Pediatric Diabetes Foundation.  Participation in ENDO 2026 allowed for sharing scientific evidence generated in Puerto Rico with a highly prestigious national and international audience of researchers, academics, and clinicians.

Under the theme “Puerto Rico’s Demographic Context,” Dr. Disdier presented a talk titled “The Cooperative Member of the Future, Today: Data, Decisions, and Systemic Impact.” “The future of Puerto Rico is not set in stone, but is written in the data we hold in our hands today. Let us use that information to become the cooperative leaders Puerto Rico will need tomorrow, starting right now,” Disdier noted at the conclusion of his presentation.
