PROTOTYPE New England DD Health Facts State Developmental Disability Benchmarks for Health-related Indicators HEALTH & WELLNESS BENCHMARKS 2008 This prototype document integrates the most recent National Core Indicators results for health-related measures within the New England DD state agencies with representative national benchmark data. NCI results for the participating New England states have been tested for statistical significance, with significance levels noted in footnotes that accompany data tables for the seven health indicators included in this document. The development of appropriate benchmarks for use in comparing NCI findings with either the general population and/or specific populations reported in the literature is and will continue to be an ongoing process. While many of the benchmarks presented in this document must be viewed with extreme caution (e.g., population characteristics are different, specific measures and operational definitions vary) they can provide a very general background for conducting further analysis and review. This document is set-up to operate as a MS PowerPoint slide presentation and is best viewed in this fashion. Hyperlinks to specific slides within the presentation are noted in BLUE type. Navigating through the presentation using these hyperlinks should facilitate finding the data the user is most interested in reviewing. Updates to this presentation will be provided on a periodic basis. All users are strongly encouraged to provide comments regarding the document – as well as links to additional benchmarks – to: September 30, 2008 To Main Menu Set viewer to Slide Show now and click “Main Menu”
