DATA GUIDE

This data guide provides information on population demographics, health behaviors, health outcomes, as well as the health care system and workforce. To better assess potential geographic differences in the population's health care needs and the health care delivery system, data are presented for the entire state, as well as downstate (New York City and Nassau, Suffolk, Rockland and Westchester counties), upstate (all remaining counties), all 11 state regions, and for each of the state's 62 counties. The regions used in the data guide are the New York State Department of Health Population Health Improvement Program (PHIP) regions. The interactivity of the data guide, however, allows users to tailor the information to their individual requirements and understand the data on multiple levels. The detailed, county-level data in the data guide can be downloaded and aggregated into different geographic region based on user needs... Since its inception, the Center has worked hard to build..
