Health Data and Statistics

County specific data on everything you could possibly want to know and a lot of stuff you don't want to find out about, including up to date tracking of the most common communicable diseases (yuck, I'd rather not know that stuff is near me), motor vehicle data, birth data, hospitalization data and more.

 

Tri-County Reports

  • Michigan Behavioral Risk Factor Survey Tables Statewide telephone survey results detailing the prevalence of behaviors, medical conditions, and preventive health practices of Michigan residents 18 years and older.  Part of the national CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.  These reports are combined results from several years of surveys and include results from the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph region.  There are not enough surveys performed in each of our counties separately to have county level data.  Surveying adults at the County level is extremely expensive and the CHA does not participate in the BRFS at the single county level.

 

State Reports

National Reports

  • Healthy People 2010
    Healthy People 2010 provides a framework for health prevention goals for the Nation. It is a statement of national health objectives designed to identify the most significant preventable threats to health and to establish national goals to reduce these threats.  
     
  • The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System
    The YRBSS monitors priority health risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death, disability, and social problems among youth and adults in the U.S.. These behaviors, often established during childhood and early adolescence, include
    • Tobacco use.
    • Unhealthy dietary behaviors.
    • Inadequate physical activity.
    • Alcohol and other drug use.
    • Sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection.
    • Behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence.

    The YRBSS includes national, state, and local school-based surveys of representative samples of 9th through 12th grade students. These surveys are conducted every two years, usually during the spring semester. The national survey, conducted by CDC, provides data representative of high school students in public and private schools in the United States.  To view information specific to Michigan, please follow the link.
