Resource Abstract:
- description: <p>This is the complete dataset for the 500 Cities project. This dataset includes 2013, 2014 model-based
small area estimates for 27 measures of chronic disease related to unhealthy behaviors (5), health outcomes (13), and use
of preventive services (9). Data were provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Population
Health, Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch. The project was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) in conjunction
with the CDC Foundation. It represents a first-of-its kind effort to release information on a large scale for cities and for
small areas within those cities. It includes estimates for the 500 largest US cities and approximately 28,000 census tracts
within these cities. These estimates can be used to identify emerging health problems and to inform development and implementation
of effective, targeted public health prevention activities. Because the small area model cannot detect effects due to local
interventions, users are cautioned against using these estimates for program or policy evaluations. Data sources used to generate
these measures include Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data (2013, 2014), Census Bureau 2010 census population
data, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2009-2013, 2010-2014 estimates. More information about the methodology can be found
