Child Abuse and Neglect Why it Matters The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) investigates or assesses all accepted reports of alleged child abuse and neglect by the person responsible for the child s care. Investigations are conducted when the report contains allegations of serious threats to the child s safety, whereas assessments are conducted when the allegation of abuse or neglect does not constitute a serious or immediate threat to a child s health or safety.

Suicide mortality Why it Matters Suicide is a largely preventable cause of death. Recognition and treatment for those at risk is crucial for lowering the number of deaths. Similarly, public awareness and lowering of stigma for use of mental health care may improve outcomes. Widespread inclusion of mental health treatment in health plans may help increase the use of these services and decrease the number of deaths as well. Areas with high rates may indicate low access to medical or mental health care or low knowledge of resources. What it Means for Providers Trends in suicide rates are often indicative of community norms and changes in cultural and societal expectations. Providers should work collaboratively to identify community pockets of high risk and advocate for programs, policies, and services that target outreach and education to areas of highest need. 20.0 15.0 10.0 5.0 0.0 Age Adjusted Suicide Rates 2010-2012 Age Adjusted Suicide 18.1 Mortality 16.6 Rates 2010-2012 12.1 Oklahoma Oklahoma U.S. Oklahoma County Oklahoma State State US What it Means for Residents Local public health initiatives require that action plans and strategies take into account community residents, ideas and activities.

Grocery Store Availability Why it Matters Access to healthy food choices is an indicator of the standard of health for the community. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables will lower the chances for developing chronic disease such as diabetes, stroke, and hypertension. Areas that have a low capita of grocery stores and high capita of convenient stores and fast food restaurants are considered food deserts. What it Means for Providers Local public health efforts such as Wellness Now and the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust, along with community partnerships, can assist providers in identifying resources that impact social inequalities and assure policies and programs are in place to address decreased grocery store accessibility, especially in low-income communities where public transportation is the primary form of commuting. What it Means for Residents Local public health initiatives require that action plans and strategies take into account community residents, ideas and activities. Residents have an opportunity to improve community awareness and system changes along with developing or advocating for programs, services, and policies that aim to reduce social inequality and increase social and health services in our community geared towards access to grocery stores. How Are We Doing? The Oklahoma City-County region averages 0.10 grocery stores per capita, 0.29 fast food restaurants per capita, and 0.29 convenience stores per capita. Data Source: City of Oklahoma City Planning Office Food Assessment Study 2012-2013 Wellness Now in Action The Nutrition and Physical Activity workgroup advocates for policy changes that make it easier for local households to grow and raise their own food sources. The workgroup successfully advocated for the passage of an Oklahoma City ordinance that enables individuals to grow their own food and harvest rainwater on plots of land smaller than an acre. 100
