The Maine State Health Assessment (SHA) provides population health status data for 167 public health indicator across 22 health topics. The list of indicators was developed with input from the SHA work group as well as subject matter experts within Maine CDC, based on the best available data, as well as Healthy Maine 2020 objectives, indicators used by other national and in-state health assessments. These indicators are not inclusive of all public health data, but are intended to provide an overview of public health issues. Additional data sources are indicated for each topic area for those who are looking for more in-depth information.
Where available and applicable, each indicator was analyzed to provide for trend data for up to ten years, comparison to the US rate or number, data by Maine’s eight geographic public heath districts, by county, by gender, by age, by race and ethnicity (Hispanic & non-Hispanic), by sexual orientation, and by income and education level. See data availability summary.(xls)
Data is provided in tables in PDF and MS Excel formats. Indicators can be browsed by the topics listed below, or by the types of tables (trends, county/public health district, race and ethnicity, and other demographics) by clicking on “ALL” and selecting the type of table you are looking for. US comparison data is generally found in the trend or county-public health district tables.
County and Public Health District Briefs and the presentations made to District Coordinating Councils in October, November and December of 2012 are also available (see “District data in the Topics list)
