Minnesota Public Health Data

Legislative staff and librarians recently attended an interesting presentation by Minnesota Department of Health staff that featured the MN Public Health Data Access Portal. The portal brings together health and environmental data previously held by many different organizations.  By collecting, analyzing, and presenting data in ways never before possible, the portal has become an important public health tool that, as described in the program's brochure, provides “new opportunities to learn about the relationships between health and the environment, and social and economic conditions”.

The portal has so much information - and provides so many options to organize, combine, and visualize data - that it's challenging to describe it in a few paragraphs. So, a few highlights. Data can be accessed geographically. An interactive county profile map arranges all available data by county.

Data can also be explored by topic - such as drinking water quality, poverty and income, and childhood immunizations - or by a number of specific health conditions including, Lyme disease and childhood lead poisoning. Once you've clicked on any of those topic areas, there is a summary of the topic with options to visualize data with tables, charts, and maps. Using "asthma" as an example, if you click on the "Explore Data" option and then choose the interactive map, you can see how counties compare in asthma hospitalizations. A click on the table option above that map shows data for the state and each county. There is also an option to view asthma data by zip codes in the Twin Cities. Click on any column heading to sort the county information or use the "Tools" option to download the data.

Learn more about the data in the Public Health Data Access Portal, find tips on effective searching, or contact health department staff by clicking on the "Get Help" option located at the top of each page.

If you would like further information on this or any other topic, contact a librarian at 651-296-8338, or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn
