North Mississippi Health Services Community Health Assessment

"The objective of this report is twofold; to provide information that can be used by decision-makers to improve health status in the area and to provide a baseline for an evaluation of healthcare strategies implemented by NMHS. These objectives are achieved by providing a collection and presentation of data for the NMHS service region and adjacent counties that: (1) profile socioeconomic characteristics and (2) describe the health status. Health status refers to an individual's overall quality of physical, psychological, and social well-being. A thorough understanding of the health status of the general population is vital to developing intervention strategies that can prevent disease and trauma."--Introduction.
