I'm a data nut. Okay, I don't necessarily want to either gather it or analyze it. I just want to know where it can be found! Here is my attempt to find all the data that is meaningful for Texas.
CHARTing Health Information for Texas
http://www.sph.uth.tmc.edu/charting/
The site is organized by:
Cause of Illness or Death: http://www.sph.uth.tmc.edu/charting/causes.htm
This section is further broken out into broad categories-- cancer, cardiovascular disease, other chronic diseases, infectious diseases, mathernal & child health, accidents & suicide, and other.
Sociodemography & Community Characteristics: http://www.sph.uth.tmc.edu/charting/social_community.htm
Health and health outcomes aren't just about how many times we see a doctor. There are many factors that influence our health (determinants of health). In this section, I've organized links to resources around some of those influences. So far I have 11 categories.
Environmental/Occupational Health: http://www.sph.uth.tmc.edu/charting/environment.htm
There are other resources on this site as well as the major areas listed above.
