Health services are often fragmented along organizational lines
with limited communication among the public health-related programs
or organizations, such as mental health, social services, and
public health services. This can result in disjointed decision
making without necessary data and knowledge, organizational
fragmentation, and disparate knowledge development across the full
array of public health needs. When new questions or challenges
arise that require collaboration, individual public health
practitioners (e.g., surveillance specialists and epidemiologists)
often do not have the time and energy to spend on them. Smart Use
of State Public Health Data for Health Disparity Assessment
promotes data integration to aid crosscutting program
collaboration. It explains how to maximize the use of various
datasets from state health departments for assessing health
disparity and for disease prevention. The authors offer practical
advice on state public health data use, their strengths and
weaknesses, data management insight, and lessons learned. They
propose a bottom-up approach for building an integrated public
health data warehouse that includes localized public health data.
The book is divided into three sections: Section I has seven
chapters devoted to knowledge and skill preparations for
recognizing disparity issues and integrating and analyzing local
public health data. Section II provides a systematic surveillance
effort by linking census tract poverty to other health disparity
dimensions. Section III provides in-depth studies related to
Sections I and II. All data used in the book have been geocoded to
the census tract level, making it possible to go more local, even
down to the neighborhood level.
