Community Health and Demographic Sources (CHADS)
Community Health and Demographic Sources (CHADS)
The following tables provide the name, source, and year(s) of most recent data for descriptive use in population science, clinical, administrative, and educational research. County level data points are described and state level data sources are listed. These descriptive data can be used to help describe the demographic and sociological characteristics of a community, area, or county. Additionally, such data can help describe the overall health, the prevalence of a certain disease or risk factor, the health behaviors, and the availability and quality of health care services of a given area. This information can then be used for internal description of a hospital’s or public health department’s service area, external use for grant application or manuscript preparation, and other uses. County level data listings are organized by topic while broader geographic designations are listed by source. These sources are hyperlinked throughout the document. This source listing is intended to be detailed and Illinois focused, but is not exhaustive or comprehensive.
