The health outcomes category represents a population’s physical and mental well-being through measures such as depression, teen suicide and low birth weight. This category is one of five categories of measures that make up the America’s Health Rankings model. The other four categories are social and economic factors, physical environment, clinical care and behaviors.
Current Reports
America’s Health Rankings builds on the work of the United Health Foundation to draw attention to public health and better understand the health of various populations. Our platform provides relevant information that policymakers, public health officials, advocates and leaders can use to effect change in their communities.
We have developed detailed analyses on the health of key populations in the country, including women and children, seniors and those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, in addition to a deep dive into health disparities across the country.
