Changes have been made to clarify the descriptions of four indicators.

The following changes were made to KP CHNA indicators:

  • Low Fruit/Vegetable Consumption (Youth):
    This indicator reports the percentage of children aged 2 and older aged 2-13 who are reported to consume less than five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. This indicator is relevant because current behaviors are determinants of future health, and because unhealthy eating habits may illustrate a cause of significant health issues, such as obesity and diabetes.
  • Dental Care Utilization (Youth):
    This indicator reports the percentage of children aged 2-13 who self-report that they have visited a dentist that they have not visited a dentist, dental hygienist or dental clinic within the past year. This indicator is relevant because engaging in preventive behaviors decreases the likelihood of developing future health problems. This indicator can also highlight a lack of access to preventive care, a lack of health knowledge, insufficient provider outreach, and/or social barriers preventing utilization of services
  • Cancer Screening – Mammogram:
    This indicator reports the percentage of female Medicare enrollees, age 67-69 or older, who have received one or more mammograms in the past two years. This indicator is relevant because engaging in preventive behaviors allows for early detection and treatment of health problems. This indicator can also highlight a lack of access to preventive care, a lack of health knowledge, insufficient provider outreach, and/or social barriers preventing utilization of services.
  • Mortality – Motor Vehicle Accident: This indicator reports the rate of death due to coronary heart disease motor vehicle crashes per 100,000 population, which include collisions with another motor vehicle, a nonmotorist, a fixed object, and a non-fixed object, an overturn, and any other non-collision. This indicator is relevant because motor vehicle crash deaths are preventable and they are a cause of premature death.
