Project Newsletter Iowa Public Health Tracking, June 2013

The Data Warehouse Replacement Project includes updated County Health Snapshot reports. The snapshots provide an overview of key health indicators for local communities. They contain county-level measures that are organized into eight categories. The categories are asthma, cancer, health behaviors and outcomes, heart disease and other chronic conditions, infectious disease, mortality and injury prevention, population statistics and reproductive outcomes. The updated county health snapshots include almost forty new chronic disease indicators in addition to all of the indicators in the existing snapshots.There will be two different reports available in the Data Warehouse replacement system. One of the reports is a multi-year county health snapshot. This report has a similar format to the previous county health snapshot report in the current Data Warehouse. It will display multiple years of data for a single county. The data will be for the most current year available and the two years prior. The state values for the current year will also be included.

The IDPH Public Health Tracking Program is an excellent way to collect data related to various indicators for Iowans, but those looking for national statistics or data from other states may want to check out the Health Indicators Warehouse (healthindicators.gov). Run and maintained by the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, this site is a centralized source for national, state, and county data for a wide variety of indicators. The data is available to the public, and can be accessed either through the tables and charts directly on the website, or indicators can be downloaded to use in a spreadsheet. Once on the site, users are able to search for their desired data either by topic or geographic region. Filters can then be applied to the chosen field to narrow down the user’s search and obtain the preferred statistics. In addition, users are also able to search for indicators derived from state and federal health indicator initiatives: County Health Rankings, Community Health Status Indicators, Healthy People 2020, and CMS Community Indicators. The warehouse provides an overview of each indicator after the user has made their selection. This overview includes information on how the data was calculated and what characteristics are being represented. For example, percent of binge drinking adults is prefaced in the overview that data was based on the question: “Considering all types of alcoholic beverages, how many times during the past 30 days did you have [5 for men, 4 for women] or more drinks on an occasion?" Data is viewable either in the basic table format, chart format, or for some indicators it is possible to view it in terms of a national map. The Health Indicators Warehouse updates indicators as data becomes available, but the collection of years varies amongst the indicators. Nonetheless, this site is a useful resource to anyone looking for comparative indicators throughout the nation or is interested in one of the hundreds of indicators housed by the site.
