Question for all CHUGers regarding Health GIS

[Ariann Nassel]

Hello everyone, 

I have a quick question. 

How many of you are working on a Public Health, Environmental Health, 

or other Health related project using GIS?

I think it will be interesting for everyone to know what work is going on at this time.

Thanks!

Ariann.

I'm glad you asked!  

We are beginning to take a closer look at Health Equities and Environmental Justice.

We continue to work on the Colorado piece of the Environmental and Public Health Tracking Project.

We are trying to make sure we are ready for this year's wildfire season.

We have a lot of other work too, but these are some of the highlights.

Mark.

Hi Ariann,

Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) is working on maps for the Community Health Profile.  The maps will include socio-demographics and some mortality measures.  Jefferson County's IT GIS group is helping create the maps since Public Health does not have a GIS person.

Ana,

For the Community Health Profile, will you please share the information?  I am wondering if Kaiser Permanente will have access to the maps.

Thanks,
Melanie

Hi Melanie,

The GIS group is helping us create maps with the socio-demographic layers that CDPHE made available based on Census 2010 data, and a map with Cardiovascular disease mortality containing data that CDPHE provided to us via a special data request.

These are some the maps that will be included in our Health Profile:

1.       Income: Medan income (tract level)

2.       Educational attainment: Percent of the population 25 or older with only high school education (tract level)

3.       Poverty: Percent of households below the federal poverty level (tract level)

                  4.       Cardiovascular disease: mortality data aggregated to display at tract level 

GIS maps are a tool and would love to have more, however, due to the lack of capacity to create GIS maps, we will only include a few.   Please let me know if Kaiser Permanente has any maps at the Census Tract level for Jefferson county either containing social, demographic, economic characteristics or health data.  It will be very useful for our Community Health Profile

Thank you,

AnAna

Hi Ariann,

We've discussed/brainstormed a bit on a potential mapping project to look at locations of stores selling new smokeless tobacco products (water, mints, orbs, etc) and potentially their proximity to schools, parks, etc.  This is for collaborative work between Jeffco Public Schools and Public Health.  

Thanks,

Emily

Emily, 

I'm new to the Colorado/Front Range region (as of Jan 5th) and I'm looking for GIS/mapping projects that pique my interest.  The intersection of these two variables in relationship to public health / children's health is something I would like to support if you are open to it. I have an entry level experience base of community health mapping in relationship to public infrastructure and governmental data.

Entire CO-GIS Health Users, 

As a new Colorado resident, I am open to all entry-level opportunities or paid-internships for your geospatial related projects.  Please contact me if you feel that your projects and opportunities could use an enthusiastic cartographer / data researcher.  

Thank you, 

Jeremy Goldsmith

Hello Ben!

 

Thought I'd jump in regarding the Wildfire Season piece- one of the things we are working on at the Red Cross in partnership with others in disaster and risk management is a day of service event around the one year anniversary of the Colorado Wildfires.  Are you aware of this event, or would you like to learn a bit more about it?  It's currently scheduled for May 4, 2013. 

 

Thanks!

Gwen

Hello Ariann,

 

We’ve been identifying at-risk populations based on a number of socioeconomic factors - these are largely based on Harvard Medical School methodologies related to health outcomes.  We’ve also been identifying areas of significant aging populations, areas of walkability, racial and ethnic segregation by dissimilarity and isolation, and racial/ethnic concentrated areas of poverty.

 

Emily, you might want to look at the Children’s Corridor work the Piton Foundation is doing.

 

Cheers,

 

Eric Ross | Planner II, Research & Data Analyst | Regional Planning & Operations

Help us celebrate why the Denver region is a great place to live, work and play!
