The Chronic Disease Indicators (CDI) web tool provides updated state-level data on chronic diseases and risk factors. This resource supports public health decision-making and policy development for improved population health outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
- Health Informatics
Background:
- State-level chronic disease and risk factor data are crucial for public health action but often fragmented across sources.
- The Chronic Disease Indicators (CDI) web tool aims to consolidate and standardize this data for easier access.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the 2022-2024 refresh of the CDI web tool and its modernized features.
- To demonstrate how the CDI tool can be utilized by practitioners and policymakers for state-level public health initiatives.
Main Methods:
- Compilation of state-level data from diverse sources (surveys, vital records, administrative data).
- Application of standardized definitions for 113 chronic disease and risk factor indicators across 21 topic areas.
- Modernization of the CDI web tool with enhanced features including interactive visualizations and data extraction capabilities.
Main Results:
- The 2022-2024 refresh includes 113 indicators and a modernized, user-friendly web interface.
- Features include interactive charts, graphs, maps, and state comparison reports for visualizing geographic variations.
- Data are available for the overall population and stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, and age.
Conclusions:
- The updated CDI web tool offers easy access to comprehensive, state-level chronic disease and risk factor data.
- Its features facilitate the examination and tracking of key indicators to support evidence-based public health action at the state level.
