3 West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings 1 Introduction T he West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (HEPC) has a dual mission with respect to our training programs in the health professions. We must make available to the students of our state a high quality education in the profession of their choosing, and, at the same time, we must educate the workforce that West Virginia needs to adequately serve its citizens. Training for health professionals is, to some extent, unique in its reliance on experiential education, which means that our educational institutions must also be service providers. Students and faculty diagnose and treat individual patients in hospitals and clinics, and they conduct community-based projects aimed at improving the health of broad populations. Policymakers therefore expect us to make investments strategically, targeting the geographic areas of greatest need, and targeting the health problems of greatest impact. The Division of Health Sciences of the HEPC is establishing a Center for Health Partnerships, which will bring together many agencies and institutions to work toward common goals. Currently, we are planning to focus on three initiatives: perinatal care, elder care, and rural primary care. In order to apply our resources most efficiently and effectively, we need to know what areas of West Virginia have the greatest need for improvement in health status, and which areas are most underserved by providers of health services. The West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings is an attempt to quantify the answers to these questions and organize the data available to us. We would like to acknowledge the work of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, particularly the West Virginia Health Statistics Center, headed by Daniel M. Christy, MPH, which made available to us much of the data reported herein. The more focused mission of the Center for Health Partnership will rely on the West Virginia Health Statistics Center and other state agencies for the data necessary to plan, direct, and evaluate our efforts. Higher education, obviously, cannot solve the health problems or meet all of the health service needs of West Virginia. We can, however, instigate a process by which we direct our resources and our energy to endeavors which have the greatest impact on the health of our citizens and their access to care. By engaging our medical schools and other educational programs to work collaboratively with health providers, state agencies, and local communities, we believe the results will be far greater than could be achieved by any one of these entities acting alone. If the higher education community fails to do its part, policymakers will hold us accountable, and the West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings provides the foundation for this accountability.

5 West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings 3 West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings Welcome to this summary of the West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings. West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings provide a snapshot of the overall status of population health by county. This report is intended to summarize the current health of each county s population and the current distribution of key factors that determine future health. The West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings point out general areas where public policy makers working with health professionals can set priorities and dedicate resources. The West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings ranks counties according to their summary measures of health outcomes and health determinants. Individual major components of outcomes and determinants are also given. Places receive a rank for each population health component. The rankings provide an opportunity to identify areas of potential health improvement. Counties ranked in the first quartile are estimated to be the healthiest. The rankings are based on a statistical model (similar to other states) using existing and available public data. West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings focuses on two categories of health measures health outcomes and health determinants. Health outcomes are those things that describe how healthy we are as a county population at a given moment. Health determinants are those things that influence future health outcomes. The summary health outcomes ranking is based on weighted scores of three measures: mortality, low birth weight and general health status. The health determinants ranks are based on weighted scores of four major components: 1. Health Care 2. Health Behaviors 3. Socioeconomic Factors 4. Physical Environment This summary report shows the quartile placement of counties as well as individual county rank. Ranking shown by quartile includes a county Index Value, the summary value derived from the statistical model. The report ranks West Virginia counties in several ways: Overall Rank Health Outcomes measures are combined with its Health Determinants measures. Health Outcomes Rank Overall. Health Outcomes Rank Major individual components. Health Determinants Rank Overall. Health Determinants Rank Major individual components.

6 2009 County Health Rankngs Data Sources Data used in West Virginia County Health Rankings come from a variety of secondary sources: West Virginia Vital Statistics Workforce West Virginia West Virginia Bureau for Public Health HIV/AIDS/STD Program West Virginia Division of Criminal Justice Services West Virginia Educational Information System WV Office of Environmental Health Services Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) U.S. Census Bureau U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) West Virginia Kids Count Fund The West Virginia Rankings estimates health measures calculated from the most recently available and public data. Where county data were not available, the report uses regional data with contiguous counties assigned the same rank on an individual measure. In order to provide the most statistically reliable information, insignificant data based on small numbers or unreliable data were avoided. In some instances, data was aggregated over a number of years for more statistically significant results. In some instances, the differences between rank placements among counties are very small, and the differential may not be precise enough to indicate the differences between counties separated by five or ten spaces. West Virginia County Health Rankings have been drawn upon the ranking models used by the Tennessee Institute of Public Health and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The West Virginia rankings use many of the same measures that are used by other states to rank their counties with respect to health. Rankings The rankings provide a composite analysis of a wide range of health outcomes and determinants. A total of 33 different variables were analyzed simultaneously to produce an overall score for each county. Not all variables were assigned equal weight in the overall score. The weights were determined by public health research and mirror those used by the Tennessee Institute of Public Health. Since some variables have higher weights than others, a county may rank high in the overall score by scoring well on only a handful of key indicators that are weighted heavily while being average on many more variables. Each county is treated equally in the overall scoring methodology regardless of population size. For some variables, the rankings use regional data because individual county data is not available or the raw numbers are so small that accurate estimates can not be obtained. For data that are not percentages, rates are used instead of gross totals to allow meaningful comparisons between counties that may have vastly different population sizes. To reduce the chance of data suppression and increase stability of the estimates in less populated counties, we combined multiple years of data for most indicators. For example, most of the BRFSS estimates are calculated from 5 years of aggregated data. 4

7 West Virginia 2009 County Health Rankings 5 Each county was assigned a z-score for each measure, representing the number of standard deviation units that a place is from the mean of all counties. To avoid an overall rank being strongly influenced by one extreme component score, the z-scores are truncated at -3.0 or 3.0 if the actual score fell outside of this range. Counties were ranked based on their z-scores. Z-scores from multiple indicators were combined to calculate indexes and counties were ranked based off of these indexes. Weighted averages of the truncated scores were used to calculate the overall summary outcomes and determinants rankings and the rankings for the four major categories of determinants, in accordance with the weights given. If ties occur in assigning ranks for any individual measure (i.e., if the z-scores and underlying data were identical), then the same rank is given to the places that are tied; for example, if the top two places are tied, these two would each be given a rank of one, while the third placeholder would be given a rank of three. Health Outcomes Three components were used to represent health outcomes: mortality, low birth weight, and health status, which are each assessed with a single measure (years of potential life lost, birth weights, and self-reported health status, respectively). While many other health outcomes could be included here, these three address both length and quality of life. Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) measures the premature mortality in a county. Every death occurring before the age of 75 contributes to the total number of years of potential life lost. Low birth weight is a widely used to measure infant health. Low birth weight is defined as a birth weight under 2,500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces). General Health Status is a measure of self-reported health-related quality of life in a population. This measure is based on responding Fair or Poor to the following question: Would you say that in general your health is: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, or Poor? The percentage reported in the Rankings is the percentage of people reporting fair or poor health. This measure is age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. population. Health Determinants The selection of determinant measures for West Virginia County Health Rankings was largely guided by the Tennessee County Health Rankings model. Health determinant measures are divided into four major components: health care, health behaviors, socioeconomic factors related to health, and the physical environment. Each of these four major components comprises multiple health determinants. The component are includes measures of access and whether people are receiving recommended treatment. No health insurance- Responding No to the following question: Do you have any kind of health care coverage, including health insurance, prepaid plans such as HMOs, or government plans such as Medicare? The results reported for this section have been limited to adults aged
