A Picture of
Health, 1995
The first step of a planning
process is getting a picture of the current situation. A Picture
of Health, a comprehensive data book describing the
health status of residents in Madison and Dane County, was published in
December 1995. Health data for seven major areas was presented:
demographics; leading causes of death and hospitalization; health risk
factors; environmental health; infectious diseases; the health of
mothers and children; and access and use of preventive and primary
health care.
