疾控基金会与RWJF启动500城市项目
“Having data at the city and neighborhood level on heart disease, diabetes, nutrition and physical activity will be invaluable to local policymakers as they plan and implement activities to improve the health and well-being of their residents,” said Wayne H. Giles, MD, MS, director of the Division of Population Health within the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at CDC.
Limited health data are available at the county and metropolitan levels across the nation, but until now no data have been made available on a large scale for cities and small areas within cities. The 500 Cities Project will help inform the development and implementation of effective and targeted public health prevention activities in many of America’s cities. Small area health data are also needed to identify emerging health problems, and establish and track health objectives. This data will be made available through a public, interactive website that will allow users to view, explore and download city and census tract-level data. The website is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2017.
“Providing the best available data to public health officials and other community leaders will help them develop solutions to some of the most pressing health challenges our nation faces, and give everyone the opportunity to live longer, healthier lives,” said Donald Schwarz, MD, MPH, MBA, vice president, Program, at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
"This readily available data to inform prevention of chronic disease has the potential to improve the lives of Americans across the country," said Judith Monroe, MD, FAAFP, president and CEO of the CDC Foundation. "We are thrilled to be a part of this work."
The surveillance measures developed through this project will enable public health professionals, city officials, policymakers and researchers to retrieve and explore uniform city and census tract-level data for the largest 500 American cities. This data will focus on conditions, behaviors and risk factors that have a substantial impact on public health.

" data-isabstract="false" class="cmp-text">亚特兰大美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)和罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会(Robert Wood Johnson Foundation)正在与美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)合作,发布首个针对美国500个最大城市和城市内人口普查区的数据分析,以识别、分析和报告选定数量的慢性病措施数据。
“拥有城市和社区一级的心脏病、糖尿病、营养和体育活动的数据,对当地政策制定者来说将是无价的,因为他们计划和实施改善居民健康和福祉的活动,”疾病预防控制中心国家慢性病预防和健康促进中心人口健康部主任、医学博士、硕士韦恩·h·贾尔斯说。
全国县和都会一级的卫生数据有限,但到目前为止,还没有提供城市和城市内小地区的大规模数据。500个城市项目将为美国许多城市制定和实施有效和有针对性的公共卫生预防活动提供信息。还需要小地区卫生数据,以查明新出现的卫生问题,并确立和跟踪卫生目标。这些数据将通过一个公共的互动网站提供,用户可以查看、探索和下载城市和人口普查区一级的数据。该网站计划于2017年夏天推出。
“向公共卫生官员和其他社区领导人提供最好的可用数据将帮助他们制定解决方案,以应对我们国家面临的一些最紧迫的健康挑战,并让每个人都有机会活得更长、更健康,”医学博士、公共卫生硕士、工商管理硕士、罗伯特伍德约翰逊基金会项目副总裁唐纳德施瓦茨说。
美国疾病控制与预防中心基金会主席兼首席执行官、FAAFP医学博士Judith Monroe说:“这些随时可用的数据可以为慢性病的预防提供信息,有可能改善全国美国人的生活。”“我们很高兴能参与这项工作。”
通过该项目制定的监测措施将使公共卫生专业人员、城市官员、政策制定者和研究人员能够检索和探索美国最大的500个城市的统一城市和人口普查数据。这些数据将侧重于对公共卫生产生重大影响的条件、行为和风险因素。
