Abstract: Community health assessment is key to understanding the health problems and priorities of a population. This case outlines a process by which the participants can complete a health assessment of a community using indicator-based methods. Students construct a set of health indicators from a variety of domains, evaluate problems and report on the health priorities for a community. The students relate identified health issues to underlying behavioral risk factors. Recommended Reading: McGinnis AM, Foege WH. Actual Causes of Death. JAMA. 1993; 270 (18): 2207-2212.

Section A: Community Health Assessment The goal of public health is to improve the health of a population. Public health interventions such as safe water sources, immunization programs, and improved motor vehicle safety regulations account for the majority of years of life expectancy gained in the United States over the last 100 years. A community health assessment involves obtaining and interpreting information to determine the health status of a specific community. Once community health needs are identified, public health interventions can be developed and their effectiveness evaluated using a similar approach. Information necessary for performing a community health assessment, for example data on mortality rates or behavioral risk factors such as smoking, is available from various sources, most notably the internet. This case deals with assessing the health of a community. Please answer the following questions using the information that you have learned from the recommended reading. Questions: 1. How do you define community? 3

2. How would you assess the health of a community? 4

3. What stakeholders (groups/organizations) would you want to consult with? 4. What types and sources of data would you use? 5

Section B: Healthy People 2020 The Healthy People 2020 initiative is a national approach that identifies high priority health issues and establishes objectives to reduce the impact of these public health threats. (Please refer to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Healthy People 2020 at http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topicsobjectives2020/default.aspx, accessed 4.9.2011) Questions: 1. How are Healthy People 2020 standards used? What are advantages and disadvantages to applying them at a local community level? 2. What other standards (national, state, or local) can be used? 6

Section C: Health Indicators For this exercise, you will use an indicator approach to develop a community health assessment. A community health assessment involves three-step feedback loop. The first step in such an assessment involves identifying important health indicators. Health indicators are measurable health outcomes, such as death rate, insurance coverage measures, immunization rates, or other data items that are relevant to the health of a community. Indicators are thoughtfully selected data points that provide useful information about the health of a community. To organize indicators, it is helpful to identify major areas of focus. For this case, we will refer to these broad categories of public health concerns as domains. Please refer to Table 1 below for examples of domains. For each domain, an example of an indicator is provided. Table 1: List of Domains to Assist Developing a Community Health Assessment Domain: Communicable Diseases (including Sexually Transmitted Diseases) Chronic Diseases (including Cancer) Injury and Violence Maternal and Child Health Environmental Health Access to Health Care Example of an Indicator: Incidence of Gonorrhea Incidence of Diabetes Homicide rate Childhood immunization rate Rates of Lead Poisoning Rates of Uninsured The second step in the assessment involves matching those indicators with available data. In the third step, standards such as those explored in Section B are applied to the data gathered in the first two steps to transform it into useful information about health needs of the population. Questions: 1. Are there any other domains of health or health-related conditions that you would include in your community assessment? 7

2. What criteria would you use to choose specific indicators within the listed domains? 3. How would you obtain data for your indicators? 8

Section D: Performing a Community Health Assessment As a consultant to the Onondaga County Health Department, you are asked to perform a community health assessment for the county. Below is information about the county, derived from the American Community Survey, 2005-2009, conducted by the US Census Bureau. Onondaga County is located in central New York and has an estimated population of 453,846 residents. Caucasians comprise about 84% of the County population. About 10% of residents are Black or African Americans, approximately 3% are Asians, and about 2% are multi-racial. Onondaga County contains the Onondaga Nation, and American Indians make up about 1% of the total population. The County has a growing Latino/Hispanic population, and they comprise about 3% of all residents of any race. The median family income in Onondaga County is estimated to be $65,458, higher than the national average ($62,363), but lower than the New York State average ($67,040). Nearly 13% of Onondaga County residents live in poverty, and the poverty rate for children under age five years is estimated to be about 20%. Over half (52%) of children under five years of age who live in female-headed households are in poverty. The unemployment rate for the period 2005 2009 is estimated to be about 6%, but unemployment has spiked since 2008 and the estimates for 2009 and 2010 are about 8%. The Behavioral Risk Factor Survey System, maintained by the CDC, reports that in 2008-2009, between 7% and 12% of adult Onondaga County residents lacked health insurance and 10% to 19% of adults did not seek needed health care during that period because of cost. The city of Syracuse, NY, with an estimated population of 139,386 persons is the largest city in the central New York area. Syracuse residents, on average, have very different demographic, social and economic characteristics than the balance of the County s residents. In general, they are younger, poorer, more likely to be of minority racial and ethnic groups and have more health risk factors than their suburban and rural counterparts in Onondaga County. For example, about 25% of Syracuse families live in poverty, compared with 13% for the population as a whole, and 67.2% of female-headed households in Syracuse with children under age five live in poverty. Additional characteristics of Syracusans in relation to other communities within Onondaga County are provided in Table 5. Consider these factors when evaluating populations at risk and targeting resources for public health activities. You now embark on the steps needed to perform your assessment. STEP ONE: IDENTIFYING HEALTH INDICATORS As noted earlier, the first step in a community health assessment is identifying health indicators. Working with a team, develop a list of 20 indicators you would want to use in your assessment. 9

STEP TWO: MATCHING THE INDICATORS Now that you have chosen indicators to use for a community health assessment, use the information provided in Table 2 to match available data to your chosen indicators. In this example, residents of Onondaga County constitute the community. Question: 1. What is the comparative health status of residents of Onondaga County? STEP THREE: SETTING HEALTH PRIORITIES Using the information gathered in the first two steps, please answer the following questions.. 10

Questions: 1. What are the priority health issues for this population? What else would you want to know about this community? 2. How does your set of indicators compare with the Healthy People 2020 foundation measures? 3. How do your chosen priority health issues relate to behavioral, social, and environmental risk factors? For example, risk factors associated with gonorrhea include history of substance use and history of risky sexual behavior such as high number of partners or lack of condom use. 11

Section E: Putting It All Together You have now developed a community health assessment, compared it to a national standard list of indicators, and identified priority health issues for this community. Question: 1. Using the knowledge that you have gained during this exercise, how would you allocate resources to develop interventions to address these issues? What factors do you need to take into account when developing public health policy? Healthy People 2010 http://www.healthypeople.gov/document.gov/document/html/uih/uih_bw/uih_2.htm#goals 12

Healthy People 2020 What Is Healthy People? Healthy People 2020 is a set of health objectives for the Nation to achieve over the second decade of this century. It can be used by many different people, States, communities, professional organizations, and others to help them develop programs to improve health. Healthy People 2020 builds on initiatives pursued over the past three decades. The 1979 Surgeon General's Report, Healthy People, and the Healthy People 2000 and 2010 National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives established national health objectives and served as the basis for the development of State and community plans. Like its predecessors, Healthy People 2020 was developed through a broad consultation process, built on the best scientific knowledge and designed to measure programs over time. What are the Foundation Health Measures? A set of four Foundation Health Measures will be used to assess progress in promoting health, reducing the burden of disease and disability through prevention, eliminating disparities and improving quality of life. The four Foundation Health Measures are: General Health Status; Health Related Quality of Life and Well-Being; Determinants of Health; and Disparities. Each of these broad measures will be monitored using selected indicators, as shown in the Table 3 below. 20
