ICYMI:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), CDC Foundation,
and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) will host a webinar on
June 30 from 2-3 p.m. EST discussing the 500 Cities Project.
The project is a first-of-its-kind data analysis of 27 chronic disease
measures for the 500 largest American cities, and the census tracts
within. The project is intended to bolster the availability of health
data for small areas within cities, and aid the development and
implementation of effective and targeted public health prevention
efforts. During the webinar, staff from the CDC, CDC Foundation, and
RWJF will orient participants to the project, including the measures,
cities, and methodology, and discuss the formats in which the estimates
will be presented to the public.
*Learning objectives:*
· Define the purpose and scope of the 500 Cities Project;
· Identify the 500 Cities methodology and understand the
difference between modeled and direct estimates;
· Describe the final products of the project; and
· Discuss the application of small area health data to the
design and implementation of effective and targeted public health
strategies.
