New Interactive Tool for Creating Custom Reports with State Health Data

	Just Released
New Interactive Tool for Creating Custom Reports with State Health Data Today, the Kaiser Family Foundation launched a new interactive tool for the policy community and journalists to create customized state reports within the Foundation’s State Health Facts resource. Choosing from hundreds of State Health Facts indicators, users can compile data on health coverage, access, and costs, as well as demographic and economic data, into interactive custom reports for a single state or multiple states. For example, this custom report compares health insurance coverage, poverty rates, and measures of access to care for children in the United States, Alabama, Illinois, and Maryland. This custom report looks at opioid death rates and the number of opioid overdose deaths, by age, along with the number of residents and the poverty rate for Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia, three states hard-hit by the opioid epidemic. Once a custom report is created, users can further refine the data directly in the report, change timeframes, add data or states, view sources of the data, download the report and share it with colleagues. Certain advanced refinement features of the Custom State Reports tool are going to work best on desktop computers. We’d like to know how you’re using Custom State Reports – send us a note using our contact us form (choose the State Health Facts option). Filling the need for trusted information on national health issues, the Kaiser Family Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, California.
