Race, Ethnicity, Language, and Disability (REALD) Implementation

What Is REALD?

REALD is a type of demographic information, like age, marital status, employment and more. REALD stands for the types of information it includes: 

  • Race
  • Ethnicity, and
  • Language
  • Disability

In 2020, the Oregon legislature passed a law that requires health care providers to:

  • Collect REALD information at health care encounters related to COVID-19, and
  • Share this information with the Oregon Health Authority (OHA).

Why We Ask

Collecting REALD information helps us understand who is most impacted by health inequities and how we can best support these community members access the services and resources they need to be healthy and thrive.
