Resource Abstract:
- description: <p>This is the complete dataset for the 500 Cities project 2016 release. 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 at <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/500cities">www.cdc.gov/500cities</a>.<br
/> Note: During the process of uploading the 2015 estimates, CDC found a data discrepancy in the published 500 Cities data
for the 2014 city-level obesity crude prevalence estimates caused when reformatting the SAS data file to the open data format.
. The small area estimation model and code were correct. This data discrepancy only affected the 2014 city-level obesity crude
prevalence estimates on the Socrata open data file, the GIS-friendly data file, and the 500 Cities online application. The
other obesity estimates (city-level age-adjusted and tract-level) and the Mapbooks were not affected. No other measures were
affected. The correct estimates are update in this dataset on October 25, 2017.</p>; abstract: <p>This is the
