Create a Report in Your Area
The Salud Report Card highlights key health issues in your county with data, policy solutions, research, and stories so you can start and support healthy changes for Latino kids. One of the largest hubs on the site, members of Salud America! are able to create these geo-located reports, using mapping and data tools on the provided by Community Commons.
Simply select your state and county and the Report Card will specifically exam the following in your county:
- Obesity
- Food Access
- Physical Activity Issues
- Health Equity
- Vulnerable Populations
The Report Card can help you quickly get data and research in to the hands of those who need it most, and can be used to justify and advocate for grant funding and policy change. Which of the topics in the Report Card stand out in your county? Comment below and tell us what you think of this new tool.
