HEDA differences step

HEALTH OUTCOMES BY SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH

An essential step (difference step) in a health equity analysis is describing health outcomes by social determinants of health (e.g., diabetes by income).The Minnesota reports and websites below include health outcomes by a social determinant of health. The majority of these outcomes are reported at the state level. Health outcome data by social determinant of health by county or other geographical areas can be obtained through special requests by contacting the Minnesota Center for Health Statistics (healthstats@state.mn.us).
