Health Disparities in King County: How do we compare? (work in progress) Analysis: Eva Wong, Mike Smyser Presenter: David Solet Assessment, Policy Development and Evaluation Unit Western Regional Epidemiology Network: May 13, 2010

Background Federal stimulus grant proposals Obesity and smoking prevention Looked at disparities in HEAL, smoking compared to other metro counties What we found surprised us Not finished work; start of discussion

Data sources, analysis software Data sources: –Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, Selected Metropolitan/Micropolitan Areas –National Center for Health Statistics –American Community Survey, US Census Bureau Analysis: –VistaPHw (PHSKC) (births, deaths) –Stata, Version 10 (BRFSS)

Indicators No Health Insurance Chronic Disease –Obesity –No Leisure-time Physical Activity in Past Month –Current Smoker –Diabetes Prevalence –Fruit/Vegetable Consumption Maternal & Child Health –Low Birth Weight –Infant Mortality –Preterm Birth –Late/no Prenatal Care Life Expectancy

Comparison: 15 Largest U.S. Counties Clark, Nevada--Las Vegas Cook, Illinois--Chicago Dallas, Texas--Dallas Harris, Texas--Houston King, Washington Kings, New York– Brooklyn, NYC Los Angeles, California Maricopa, Arizona-- Phoenix Miami-Dade, Florida Orange, California-- Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine Queens, New York—Queens, NYC Riverside, California--Riverside San Bernardino, California--San Bernardino San Diego, California-- San Diego Wayne, Michigan—Detroit

Methodology Examined rates and rate ratios by –Race/ethnicity –Income –Education –Poverty Ranked 15 largest counties by rate ratio Dropped counties from ranking if <50 respondents/group Explored other disparities measures

Calculation of rate ratios One rate divided by another More advantaged group is the denominator or “reference group” If rate ratio = 1, the two rates are equal If rate ratio > 1, indicates disparities Higher rate ratio means more relative disparity

Only large counties with >50 respondents by race shown. Data Source: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, CDC. PHSKC results may differ as local dataset includes oversamples not included in national dataset. Ratio of Adult Physical Inactivity Prevalence, by Race/Ethnicity, Poverty and Education, 15 Largest Counties in US, Average

Ratio of Adult Obesity Prevalence, by Race/Ethnicity, Poverty and Education, 15 Largest Counties in US, Average

Ratio of Adult Diabetes Prevalence, by Race/Ethnicity, Poverty and Education, 15 Largest Counties in US, Average

Smoking prevalence by race, age 18 and older, King County, 3-year rolling averages,

Rate difference (RD) and rate ratio (RR), black:white smoking rates

Rate ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), black:white smoking rates

Discussion Advantaged population may be early adopters of anti-smoking message, contribute to anti-smoking norms among peers Black/white income gap is growing, may fuel larger disparities Smoking disparities may also be growing, but trend is probably not statistically significant

Take-home messages: Compared to other large counties… King County’s low overall rates are driven by its relatively advantaged population White, well-off, highly educated population is doing well The tide is rising, but some boats are falling behind in an affluent county All information supports focus on disadvantaged populations

Future directions…and caveats More analysis with absolute measures of disparity Explore other indicators Look at disparities in place Find method for measuring sig. of trend Caveats: rate ratios present an incomplete picture; not all disadvantaged groups included because of small numbers; indicators were selected

Questions What disparities measures will resonate with communities, policymakers and electeds? How to treat small populations? Population-weight or not? Who should make the value judgments that decide these issues? Your comments are welcome!
