3 SESSIONS AVAILABLE – CMSRU ROOM – 428
10:00-11:15; 12:00-1:15; 1:30-2:45
PolicyMap has a wealth of data that can be useful for a Community Health Needs Assessment or other work in the public health realm. This includes data concerning physical health, infant and maternal health, uninsured populations, various federal programs, and the location of health facilities such as hospitals and FQHCs. In addition, the tool includes a broad array of data related to social determinants of health, such as demographics, income, healthy food access, the economy, housing, public transportation, etc.
PolicyMap will also be adding data from the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in upcoming months as well. These indicators will include alcohol consumption, cholesterol awareness, chronic health indicators, disability, healthcare access/coverage, health status, hypertension awareness, immunization, injury, overweight and obesity, physical activity, tobacco use, and fruit and vegetable consumption. These data will be available down to the census tract level, so it will provide users with a granular look at the health of neighborhoods.
With PolicyMap, you can: • Quickly pull data for your CHNA (Community Health Needs Assessments) • Analyze the existing public health infrastructure in relation to demand for services • Create rich maps and reports in minutes – no GIS training required • Download our data, upload yours, and share internally among your epidemiologists and researchers • Access the largest place-based data library on the web – one source for all your public health research needs
