# Duplicate Contacts Demographics

Shows demographic breakdowns of duplicate contacts by gender, age, race, and ethnicity.

#### Location

This panel appears on the following dashboards:

* [Duplicate Contacts](/analyze/impact-dashboards/duplicate-contacts.md)

#### Modules Included

* Program Activities (Demographics data)

#### Filters

**Applied Filters**

* **Viewable records** — Only Program Activities the current user has permission to view are included.
* **Sessions counted** — Every session recorded on the program activity counts toward the duplicated totals, whether the session was held in person or virtually. When a session date range is set, only sessions that begin within that range are counted.

**Non-Applicable Filters**

* **Indicators** and **File Attachments** — These filters appear in the filter bar but are not honored by this panel. Setting either one replaces all four charts with a message that the chart cannot be filtered by them.

#### Calculations

1. PEARS retrieves all viewable Program Activities that match the current dashboard filters.
2. For each program, demographics values are multiplied by the number of qualifying session occurrences to produce duplicate-adjusted counts.
3. Four charts are generated, each summing the duplicate-adjusted demographic values:
   * **Gender** — Male, Female, Non-Binary, Unknown, Prefer Not To Respond. Data from reporting periods before 2023 does not include Non-Binary.
   * **Age** — Fixed age bands. The bands shown depend on whether the matching activities are reported under SNAP-Ed or Extension reporting periods, and on the reporting period year.
   * **Race** — American Indian/AK Native, Asian, Black, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, White, Two or More Races, Prefer Not To Respond, Unknown.
   * **Ethnicity** — Hispanic, Non-Hispanic, Prefer Not To Respond, Unknown.
4. Each chart displays the data as a horizontal bar chart, with the number of people plotted on the **Reach** axis.

#### Additional Notes

* This panel uses the same duplicate-adjusted counting methodology as the [Total Duplicate Contacts](/analyze/impact-dashboards/panels/total-duplicate-contacts.md) panel, applied to each demographic category.
* Demographic categories with no duplicate contacts still appear on the chart with a value of zero. When every category in a chart totals zero, that chart displays a message that there is not enough data to display it.
