Using Social and Economic Barriers to Health Data to Inform Programming
|
|
|
When we examine data from social needs screening, what does it tell us? The table above shows the number of social needs by age category in Southwestern Colorado. The graph illustrates that patients between the ages of 19- 64 have more needs on average than both younger and older age groups. The 19-21 year-old group reports the most needs. What do these numbers mean for our region? How can we think about these numbers to support our organizations that are working with these age groups and to create additional needed programs for our community members? All data can be limited by factors like sample size, characteristics of the populations being screened, and lack of context. Yet data can tell us a story about the community members who we serve in our region. We are looking forward to listening to the stories that data from screenings tell us and to collaborating with our community partners to address social and economic barriers to health in Southwestern Colorado.
