  3. Report overview Report Overview • This chapter is part of a larger report created by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to track progress on the objectives of Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 (HW2020) and identify health disparities in the state. The full report is available at: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P0/p00522.pdf • The report is designed to address the Health Focus Areas in HW2020. Where direct measures exist, data are presented; where direct measures are not available, related information may be included. • Information about populations experiencing health disparities is provided in the Health Focus Area chapters and is summarized in separate chapters devoted to specific populations. • Technical notes are available at: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P0/p00522y.pdf

  8. Report overview Data notes • Please refer to the Technical Notes chapter for a more detailed description of limitations and methods: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P0/p00522y.pdf • The 95% confidence intervals are denoted by error bars. Where confidence intervals do not overlap, as shown in the example on the right, differences are statistically significant. Larger confidence intervals may indicate less reliable estimates that should be interpreted with caution. • Population estimates that are considered unreliable are excluded. • Misclassification of racial/ethnic groups may affect the accuracy of rates. • Unless otherwise indicated, the Hispanic population may include people of various races; Whites, Blacks, Asians, and American Indians are non-Hispanic.

  10. HW2020 objectives Healthiest Wisconsin 2020objectives and indicators Objective 1 By 2020, improve the overall quality and safety of the food supply and the natural, built and work environments. Objective 1 Indicator • Proportion of local and tribal jurisdictions that have assessed, prioritized and improved performance on an environmental and occupational health index.

  11. HW2020 objectives Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 objectives and indicators Objective 2 By 2020, increase the percentage of homes with healthy, safe environments in all communities. Objective 2 Indicator • Proportion of local and tribal jurisdictions that have assessed, prioritized and improved performance on a home health and safety index.

  12. Rationale Rationale • Environmental and occupational health includes the prevention of illnesses and injuries resulting from hazards in the natural and built environments where people live, work and play. • The air we breathe, water we drink, communities we live in, and food we eat are recognized as underlying determinants of health. • Disparities in the quality of living spaces are often related to socioeconomic, racial/ethnic, and income- and education-level factors. These factors can affect whether or not environmental contaminants are detected and removed.

  13. Black adults had significantly higher percentages of lifetime and current asthma compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Lifetime and current asthma rates are significantly higher among people with lower incomes and those with lower educational attainment. While the statewide rate of asthma hospitalization has declined slightly over the past 10 years, notable disparities exist by race. The hospitalization rate was five times greater for the Black population and two times greater for American Indians than for the White population. Milwaukee and Menominee counties had asthma hospitalization and emergency department visit rates that were roughly twice the statewide rates. The estimated rate of work-related injury and illness has declined over the past decade. Lead poisoning has steadily decreased among children under age six since 2001; however, racial and ethnic disparities remain. In 2010, Black children were six times as likely as White children to have experienced lead poisoning. Key points Key points
