PLACE MATTERS TEAM ABC HEAT ALBUQUERQUE / BERNALILLO COUNTY HEALTH EQUITY ASSESSMENT TOOL TOM SCHARMEN MAY 2009
ALBUQUERQUE / BERNALILLO COUNTY HEALTH EQUITY ASSESSMENT TOOL A Project of the Bernalillo County Place Matters Team ABC HEAT is a collaborative health equity initiative with the goal of providing communities and decision-makers in our city & county with evidence to build health into public and private policies and practices. We believe that decision-makers must have reliable data on health status, disparities, and the effects of social determinants of health. These data must be monitored at the local level in collaboration with the people and families who live there, and funding must be available to promote community participatory assessment to understand these health effects and to promote the application of findings to decision-makers.

It is defined as the average number of years a baby born in a particular area or population can be expected to live if it experiences the current age-specific mortality rates of that particular area or population throughout its life. These estimates use the methods described by Chiang, 1968 (see references). PLACE MATTERS – ABC HEAT Source: Deaths - NMDOH-BVRHS; Population - Geolytics, Inc.

PLACE MATTERS – ABC HEAT Source: US Census 2000 Source: NMDOH, BVRHS; Analysis: T Scharmen, NMDOH, Region 3, Office of Community Assessment CENSUS BLOCK GROUPS (~450) POVERTY AND HEALTH OUTCOMES Poverty is presented on this map in five categories, using a small geography (census block groups). Imagine if these categories of non-adjacent block groups were each a ‘community’ and we calculated the same health indicator for each one. The bar graph on the right represents the teen birth rate of each of those ‘communities’. It shows a strong relationship with poverty: Wherever there is a higher percent of the population living in poverty, there is a higher teen birth rate. We call this a social determinant of health.
