A Community Health Profile is a comprehensive report that provides an overview of the health status, demographics, and key health indicators of a specific community. Developed with secondary data sources, it helps identify health trends, issues, and disparities within a population, guiding public health interventions, policies, and resource allocation.
How We Can Work Together
SHA can provide a profile with the following key components:
- Demographics: Data on age, gender, race, income, and education to identify disproportionately affected groups.
- Health Indicators: Information on mortality, chronic diseases, communicable diseases, and maternal/child health.
- Access to Health Services: Availability of healthcare facilities, insurance coverage, and barriers to care.
- Environmental Health: Factors like air/water quality, the built environment, and housing conditions that impact health.
- Social Determinants of Health: How education, income, and housing influence health outcomes.
- Health Behaviors: Data on diet, exercise, smoking, and preventive care.
- Health Equity and Disparities: Highlights disparities in health outcomes and care access.
- Community Resources: Information on local health services and programs.
The profile informs decision-making for public health officials, agencies and policymakers, ensuring evidence-based interventions.
