Report Overview

• This chapter is part of a larger report created by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to track the progress on objectives of Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 (HW2020) and identify health disparities in the state. The full report is available at: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P0/p00522.pdf

• The report is designed to address the Health Focus Areas in HW2020. Where direct measures exist, data are presented; where direct measures are not available, related information may be included.

• Information about populations experiencing health disparities is provided in the Health Focus Area chapters and is summarized in separate chapters devoted to specific populations.

• Technical notes are available at: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P0/p00522y.pdf

Data notes

• Please refer to the Technical Notes chapter for a more detailed description of limitations and methods: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P0/p00522y.pdf

• The 95% confidence intervals are denoted by error bars. Where

confidence intervals do not overlap, as shown in the example on

the right, differences are statistically significant. Larger confidence

intervals may indicate less reliable estimates that should be

interpreted with caution.

• Population estimates that are considered unreliable are excluded.

• Misclassification of racial/ethnic groups may affect the accuracy of rates.

• Unless otherwise indicated, the Hispanic population may include people of various races; Whites, Blacks, Asians, and American Indians are non-Hispanic.

SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS

Key Points

• The poverty rate in Wisconsin increased from 2006 to 2010.

• Education and income are correlated. The higher the level of education in a population, the higher the level of income, for both males and females.

• On average, Black, Hispanic, and American Indian adults in Wisconsin have lower levels of education and income compared to White and Asian adults. Differences within groups, particularly Asians, may be masked by aggregate data.

Key points

10

Access to health care

SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS

Key Points:

• Compared to adults with higher levels of education and income, adults with lower levels of education have:

– Less access to health and dental care, higher utilization of the emergency room, lower rates of prenatal care, and lower rates of cancer screening.

– Higher rates of risk behaviors including binge drinking, obesity, and tobacco use and exposure.

– Higher rates of poor physical and mental health.

– Higher rates of chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and blood pressure, stroke, and arthritis.
