This is the
third report from the Social Indicator Study for the State of Arizona. In this
report, we present data for a specific set of social indicators that were
previously selected by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMSHA) as part of their earlier Prevention Needs Assessment
contract to the Arizona Department of Health Services. During the past year,
the Arizona Social Indicator Study received funding as a contract from the
Governor’s Task Force on Families and Communities to continue the collection
and description of various social indicator rates for data from 2000 and 2001
at the county levels and for selected communities within the state. This
report is a continuation of the work performed with 1997
and 1999 data that had been subcontracted with the Arizona Department of
Health Services (ADHS).
The prevalence of each
of the social indicators is presented for the 15 Arizona
counties and for selected communities. This report
presents county-level data in tabular form as well as state maps to contrast
the relative frequency of each indicator by county. Overall risk profiles for
each county can assist a county to review their results.
If there are any questions or comments about any of the data, please contact
the principal investigator, Dr. Robin Harris by either email (rharris@azcc.arizona.edu)
or telephone (520-626-5357). |
