The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) website Health Data for All Ages: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/health_data_for_all_ages.htm This website is a combination of several other NCHS websites that provided interactive online data tables, including Healthy Women: State Trends in Health and mortality. The new site is envisioned as a place to obtain health data on people of all ages from infants to older people. All of the tables previously available through the Healthy Women website have been moved to the section in the Health Data for All Ages site noted as “State Data.” New tables have been added to this site that present national and regional data; many of these also are relevant to women’s health.
State Variations in Key Disparities Indicators - The Kaiser Family Foundation's data update shows variations across states and racial and ethnic groups for six key health and health care indicators. The data update provides a quick glance at disparities in rates of infant mortality, diabetes-related mortality and AIDS cases among whites, African Americans and Hispanics in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It also provides similar breakdowns showing the percentage of each group in each state that is uninsured, enrolled in Medicaid, and living in poverty. Key Health and Health Care Indicators by Race/Ethnicity is drawn from the more than 30 state-specific indicators related to race and ethnicity available on Kaiser’s statehealthfacts.org. The fact sheet is available online at http://www.kff.org/minorityhealth/7633.cfm. For additional information, please contact Craig Palosky at 202-347-5270 or cpalosky@kff.org.
