Using Data to Move Toward Health Equity in Michigan
Michigan Department of Community HealthHealth Disparities Reduction/Minority Health SectionDivision of Health Wellness & Disease Control
Terminology
• Health Disparities: Measured health differences.
• Health Inequities: Measured health differences between populations that are systemic, unnecessary, and avoidable, and are therefore considered to be unfair and unjust.
• Health equity: Fair, just distribution of social resources and opportunities needed to achieve well-being.
MI Health Equity Roadmap
Health Disparities Reduction and Minority Health Section
• Established as the Office of Minority Health in 1988 to serve as the coordinating body for minority health issues in the state of Michigan.
• Mission: To provide a persistent and continuing focus on eliminating health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities in Michigan.
• Minority Health legislation (PA 653) passed in 2006.

Race and Ethnicity Data Challenges
• Availability of Data– Small Sample Sizes– Differently Defined Populations
• Quality of Data– Misclassification of Race/Ethnicity– Missing Data
• Consistency in Methods– Sampling Methods– Measuring Equity
Michigan Health Equity Data Project
Objective: Monitor racial/ethnic health equity in Michigan. Make data about racial/ethnic populations
easily accessible. Feature social determinants along with priority
health outcomes. Provide standardization. Measure health disparities. Monitor health disparities over time.
Health Equity Data
Multiple Health Indicators 3 Major Categories
Social Determinants Health Status, Health Behaviors,
Healthcare Diseases and Deaths
6 Major Populations Standard Time Periods Standard Data Sources
Key Indicators• Social Determinants
– Median household income– % Children living at or below poverty– Unemployment Rate– High school dropout rate– % Persons not registered to vote
• Health Status, Behaviors, Healthcare– Self-reported fair/poor health– Poor physical health– Poor mental health– Obesity prevalence– Current smoker– % Uninsured
• Morbidity and Mortality– Heart disease mortality rate– Diabetes prevalence– All-cancer mortality rate– Gonorrhea incidence– HIV infection rate– Infant mortality rate– Unintentional injury mortality rate
Data Sources
• Michigan Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (2001-2003, 2007-2009)
• US Census (2000)• American Community Survey (2006-2008)• Michigan Resident Birth and Death Files (2000-02,
2006-08)• HIV/AIDS Epidemiology Profiles and Quarterly
Reports (Jan. 2001, Jan. 2009)• Local Area Unemployment Statistics (2000, 2009)• State of Michigan Cohort Dropout Rate Report,

Methodological Decision
Reference Group = White Population
MiBRFS, 2007-09
Quantifying Equity: Pairwise
• Difference: Minority Estimate – Reference Estimate– E.g., 36% - 20% = 16%
• Ratio: Minority Estimate / Reference Estimate– E.g., 36% / 20% = 1.8
• Percent Change in Ratio Over Time– E.g., (1.8-1.5)/1.5 = 20% Change
