Finding health statistics for NUR 470

Hi folks,

I was asked for help finding copd statistics for North Carolina and help finding copd statistics "at the county level. "

Since this kind of question might be coming in from other NUR 470 students or from other health science students, I thought that I'd post some info for you.

Google is an easy way to find health statistics for many common health conditions
-search copd statistics North Carolina
-search copd statistics Guilford County NC

This county search won't work for all topics. Also, someone might ask "what are some big health problems in my county?" meaning that they want to look at an overview of county health.  N.C. public health departments post a "state of the county health" report, mortality data, and more. 

Also we do have subscriptions with health statistics.  I like PolicyMap, which pulls together health, demographic, and other statistics from many sources.

Best,.
Lea
