The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has released state-level data for heart disease for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The data are taken from the congressionally mandated National Healthcare Quality Report (NHQR), available at http://statesnapshots.ahrq.gov/snaps07/index.jsp. In addition, the Women’s Health and Mortality Chartbook of the National Center for Health Statistics has state-related data for women available at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/healthywomen/womenschartbook_aug2004.pdf. Also, at http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/brfss-smart/index.asp, Metropolitan/Micropolitan Area Risk (MMSA) data are available for 500 such areas nationwide. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data are also collected within each state (www.cdc.gov/brfss). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which provides mortality rates down to the county level, by sex and ethnicity, available at http://www.cdc.gov/gis/. The 2008 Atlas of Stroke Hospitalizations Among Medicare Beneficiaries (CDC, 2008) is a new resource that provides data down to the county level, by sex and race (available at http://www.cdc.gov/dhdsp/atlas/2008_stroke_atlas/index.htm).
