  1. Healthy Women Statistics: A Resource for State Data on Women’s Health Kate Brett Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Health Statistics

  2. What is Healthy Women Statistics? • A user-friendly set of tables composed of state-level data on the health and well-being of women and men. • Developed by NCHS with support from the DHHS’ Office on Women’s Health.

  3. Purpose • To provide information on mortality, morbidity, and risk factors among • specific population groups within a state, or • states by specific sub-populations. • To relate to Healthy People 2010 objectives.

  4. Data • All data concurrently available by: • state, • sex, • race, • Hispanic origin, and • age.

  5. Data Sources • Current: • 1997-2001 Mortality • 1997-2002 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) • 1997-2002 Natality

  6. Development Considerations • All estimates are 3-year averages. • Single year statistics produce many unreliable data points. • Data are released as interactive data tables. • User can format tables as desired.

  7. Technical Issues • Data suppression: based on relative standard error (RSE) = (SE/estimate) * 100% • Mortality/Natality: suppression of estimates with less than 20 events (approximate RSE>23%). • BRFSS: suppression of estimates with RSE>30%.

  8. Beyond 20/20™ software • Data dissemination software that allows interactive presentation of data. • Retrieve data in multiple formats depending on need: • Tables • Maps • Graphs (bar, line, pie)

  9. How do you access the data? • The software and information on how to use the software is available • on the CD-ROMs, or • from the Web site. • Can either download files or access data online. www.cdc.gov/nchs/healthywomen.htm

  10. Demonstration: • Opening files • Reading summaries (background info) • Active dimensions • Switching dimensions • Nesting dimensions • Graphing and mapping
