The aims of this first public health needs assessment of disability are to assess the burden of disability in Iowa counties including health risk factors such as: cardiovascular diseases, obesity, stroke, or mental health issues. At the county level, determine access to preventive health care: insurance, personal doctor, and health screenings. Identify unhealthy behaviors: lack of exercise, substance abuse, and lack of seat belt use. Determine the effect of socioeconomic conditions: education, employment, and income. The public health needs assessment of disability in Iowa used primarily two data sources: the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey. A link to the entire needs assessment is included. The PDF is generally accessible using a screen reader or Read Out Loud. The images do not have alternate text.
