Southwest Ohio – Public Health Departments are excited to collaborate with our regional public health and community partners to announce the launch of Southwest Ohio Datahub, which is a new website designed to provide access to population health data, evidence-based practices, and information about regional health resources and activities.
Southwest Ohio Datahub, at www.swohdh.org, will serve as a vital resource for local leaders, healthcare providers, researchers, educators, and community advocates in Adams, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, Highland, and Warren Counties.
“The release of the Southwest Ohio Datahub is the culmination of a multi-agency effort to share up-to-date health data not only between agencies but to all citizens of Southwest Ohio in a consistent and easy to understand manner. The datahub provides a wealth of information related to a variety of health issues, allowing users to quickly see how their community compares to the region, trends in key health indicators, and whether or not their community is on track to meet Healthy People 2030 goals. Access to accurate, real-time data is a critical component factor in the development of effective policies and strategies to address public health issues. We hope that this datahub will serve as a valuable resource that helps shed light on the overall health of Southwest Ohio and ultimately leads to initiatives and programs that improve the wellbeing of everyone in our communities,” said Chris Balster, MPH, REHS, Assistant Health Commissioner for Warren County Health District.
Southwest Ohio Datahub provides valuable insights into the region’s health and wellbeing. It allows for easy identification of areas where there is a high impact, as well as those with the greatest need. Data comes from more than 20 sources, including the American Community Survey, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Ohio Department of Health.
The Southwest Ohio Datahub website allows users to:
• View more than 200 health and quality-of-life data indicators
• Map and visualize data, and generate tailored data reports
• Examine zip-code level maps of socioeconomic need
• Browse through a database of over 2,000 evidence-based practices and programs
• Access county-specific pages with local data, priorities, health improvement strategies, and resources
• Track progress towards county health goals; and
• View more than 250 demographic variables at state, county, and zip code levels
