(20 cards)
What is the association b/t education level and health status? What are the two statistics used?
A direct association of perceived and actual outcomes. Decreased education is associated with increased people who rate their health as poor/fair (perceived). Also, lower education leads to a higher age-adjusted mortality rate (actual).
What is the difference b/t a health disparity and health inequity?
Health disparities are not amenable to change (gender, age). Health inequities are amenable to change.
Name some health inequities.
Socioeconomic, Class, Race, Education, Geo, Multiple factors
What type of relation exists b//t health status and education level?
Direct relationship (there may be confounding factors)
Based off the county health calculator, if 5% more people attended some college, How would that effect income above 200% of the FPL, lives saved, diabetes, and diabetes cost?
-4% more over -200% of FPLl -save 825 lives -prevent 8,200 cases of diabetes -eliminate $47.9 million in diabetes care
How do Johnson and Wyandotte County compare to Kansas in terms of Education % of some college and Income % @ 200% FPL?

What are some possible risk factors of a rural geographic region?
Access to care, occupational risk (outdoor work), recreational risk (gun availability, ATV), relation to socio-economic status
Where are the five densely populated counties located? Where is population density low?
Around Wichita and KCK. Population density is low in most of the eastern portion of the state
What is the breakdown and % weight of Outcomes and Determinants in the KHI model?
Outcomes: -mortality rate (33%) -general health status (33%) -low birth weight (33%) Determinants: -Health care (10%) -Health behaviors (40%) -Socioeconomic factors (40%0 -Physical enviro (10%)
What are some contributing factors to health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, physical enviro?

What region of the state is densely packed with counties that have poor health factors?
Southeast
How does the map of health outcomes compare with the map of health factors?
Southeast has negative outcomes that almost directly correlate w/ health factors.
Why do Scott County (good factors, bad outcomes) and Seward county (bad factors, good outcomes) break the trend of relationship b/t health factors and outcomes?
Scott: oldest population in KS Seward: Younger population
What are some geographic issues that arise with urban areas?
Less exercise, more violence, more stress, FOOD DESERTS (Argentine community in KC)
What are some other disparities that relate to special needs?
Disabled, HIV, adolescent, prisoner
What are the two examples of multi-factorial risks?
Katrina & Chicago Heat wave
What two stats were striking about evacuees of Katrina in Houston?
50% no insurance, 41% had chronic health conditions (heart dz, diabetes, asthma)
What was striking about the death rates in Chicago during the heat wave?
Adjacent neighborhoods had markedly different death rates despite similar poverty (based on community characteristics).
Author Klinenberg describes the difference in what factor that lead to higher risk in African American communities than Latino communities despite similar poverty?
Social cohesion or social capital- reduces risk b/c people are looking out for eachother
Describe the cliff picture and its components.
