SCHS launches Web-based health data query system

Need some health or population data? The State Center for Health Statistics has broadened the usability of its Web site by expanding its Health Data Query System at http://www.schs.state.nc.us/SCHS/data/query.html.

By choosing different variables such as year, county, race, gender or health concerns such as a specific disease or type of birth defect, users can produce customized tables of data for live births, deaths, and birth defects. There are also two different population data searches to provide specific population counts. The population data query feature is brand new, and should be very useful to address target populations and other health program issues.
