CSF Highlights and Innovations
This model is a GIS-based neighborhood segmentation analysis in which we use standard public health data to identify “at risk” neighborhoods where families have the greatest need for information, education, and intervention. As a result, we can isolate specific areas where public health agencies should concentrate their efforts to locate and serve families. The process for generating an NPM analysis for your jurisdiction includes:
Identify the specific health risks you want to address in the community; |
|
Collect sample data on individuals exposed to specific health risks; |
|
Geo-code sample data to find communities with highest exposure to health risks;
|
|
Develop descriptive portrait of audience for outreach; and
|
|
Use descriptive portrait to develop targeted outreach activities. |
