Health of King County Report, 2006

As in the last Health of King County report issued in 1998, a range of health indicators including social determinants of health, behavioral risks, access to care and diseases are described by age, gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, time trend and place of residence. Selection of the health indicators is based on the impact on health status, severity and frequency of the condition, whether a disease is amenable to prevention and early detection, and data availability.
