WHAT’S NEW IN THE 2018 RANKINGS?
12
2018 OVERALL KEY FINDINGS
‣ This year, we bring new analyses that show meaningful health gaps persist by place and by race/ethnicity.
– In all 50 states, the percentage of low birthweight babies born to Black mothers is worse than in the typical bottom performing counties in their state.
– Significant disparities exist in social and economic opportunities among counties, e.g., high school graduation and employment
– Rates of poverty among children and youth are at least 1.5 times higher than rates among adults aged 18 and older
– Residential segregation of Blacks and Whites is considered to be a fundamental cause of health disparities in the U.S.
13
WHAT IS A STATE REPORT?
‣ A County Health Rankings & Roadmaps report that explores the size and nature of health differences by place and race/ethnicity in each state
‣ A resource to help you to begin taking action by exploring evidence-informed approaches
14
STATE REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
‣ What health equity is and why it matters
‣ Differences in health outcomes within the state by place and racial/ethnic groups
‣ Differences in health factors within the state by place and racial/ethnic groups
‣ What communities can do to create opportunity and health for all
15
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY HEALTH EQUITY?
HEALTH EQUITY means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible.
This requires removing obstacles to health such as poverty and discrimination, and their consequences, including powerlessness and lack of access to good jobs with fair pay, quality education and housing, safe environments, and health care.
16
WHY EQUITY?
‣ Equality isn’t enough to close gaps
‣ Our nation’s youth are increasingly more racially and ethnically diverse
‣ Children, youth and families of color do not have the same opportunities and fare even worse in segregated communities
‣ Investing in ALL young people to give them fair opportunities to thrive will ensure our nations success and prosperity
17
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
‣ What differences do you see among counties in your state?
‣ What differences do you see by racial/ethnic groups in your state?
‣ How do counties in your state compare to all US counties?
‣ What patterns do you see? For example, do some racial/ethnic groups fare better or worse across measures?
