The Quick Health Data Online: the ultimate interactive database on recent trends in women's health

A growing number of nonprofit and government agencies have developed interactive databases to help their website visitors and constituents obtain information about past and recent trends in healthcare. The Office on Women's Health of the Department of Health and Human Services has joined this pursuit by launching Quick Health Data Online (QHData), an interactive database providing health statistics that specifically pertain to women. Since its inception, QHData has quickly emerged as the leader in sophisticated and user-friendly interactive databases. What is so remarkable about QHData? This database is capable of generating health statistics by race (i.e., blacks, whites, Asian and Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, and Native Americans), gender, and age. The results can also be produced across different geographic levels-the nation, by region, state, and county; the jurisdiction statuses of the counties can also be identified as a border, frontier, metropolitan, urban, or rural. Users also have the flexibility of presenting the results in tables, bar graphs, and maps or exporting results to other processing or display tools.
