Modeling Idaho Health (MIH)
Working Group leader: Helen Brown
Group members: Christopher Murphy, Erich Seamon, Chris Williams, Nurbanu Bursa, Jennifer Hinds
Originated: November 2016
Description:
This working group started out as, “Small Area Estimation of Obesity-related Indicators (Modeling Obesity Indicators – MOI).”
MIH has continued to refine and expand work to generate small-area estimates (SAE) of Idaho health indicators at a county level using data from the American Community Survey (ACS) and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). We have worked to refine the model with the goal of identifying counties with higher prevalence of overweight, obesity and, diabetes. We created an interactive dashboard of the health indicators and are in process of expanding this work to include other health indicators.
