Health data can help you create a neighborhood health profile so that you can plan the best course for addressing critical health issues. Here are the basic steps:
1. Know the health issues affecting your neighbors – Find and interpret health-related data
2. Prioritize needs – Identify the most critical causes of death and disease
3. Take action – Use the data to shape policies, programs, and neighborhood activities that address health needs and promote a high quality of life for all.
Creating a health profile gives citizens a roadmap for making their neighborhood a healthier place to live, learn, work and play.
