| This session will help researchers and public health professionals understand the opportunities for improving state- and local-level data for public health assessment by coordinating population-based national, state, and local health surveys. An increasing number of states and local communities are undertaking surveys to assess their population's health. When content, measurement, and sampling are coordinated across national, state, and local health surveys, these surveys can more effectively identify and measure disparities in health needs, access to care, and progress in achieving Healthy People 2010 goals. The session will provide an overview of the opportunities for and difficulties in coordination among national, state, and local health surveys. The discussion will focus on the experience of the National Center for Health Statistics, other federal health agencies, and the California Department of Health Services in working with state- and local-level surveys, including the new California Health Interview Survey | ||||
