Use of Geographic Information Systems and New York State's Expanded Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to inform strategies to increase participation of persons with disabilities in evidence-based interventions to promote health and manage chronic conditions
The DHP utilized GIS to create a base map of statewide census tract disability prevalence using 2008-2012 American Community Survey data; conduct a spatial analysis of CDSMP workshop locations; and overlay geo-coded CDSMP workshop locations on the statewide prevalence map to identify gaps in CDSMP availability. EBRFSS data was analyzed to determine county-level prevalence of chronic disease among PWDs.
The DHP and its partners are supporting a statewide delivery system infrastructure for expansion of EBIs to prevent and reduce chronic disease. The GIS and EBRFSS analyses informs targeted recruitment and development strategies to engage new CDSMP delivery system partners to ensure capacity to serve PWDs. Disability screener questions included on the CDSMP participant intake form allows the DHP to track success in increasing participation among PWDs.
