2022 KITSAP COUNTY COMMUNITY PUBLIC HEALTH INDICATORS AND DISPARITIES REPORT

For 2022, the Kitsap County Core Public Health Indicators Report and Disparity Report have been combined to form one more comprehensive report, which includes the overview of the demographics and health of Kitsap County residents as well as a deeper analysis of differences between subgroups. This report highlights improving and worsening trends in Kitsap, health outcomes and behaviors where Kitsap excels as well as those with room for improvement, and areas with large differences in outcomes and behaviors between subgroups. The goal of this report is to help focus Kitsap on maintaining aspects where we excel and working to improve areas where deficiencies are seen.

    U.S. Census and American Community Survey (ACS): The ACS is a mandatory, ongoing statistical survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year to gather information about population characteristics, housing, and economics among other topics. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Census Bureau changed the 2020 American Community Survey (ACS) release schedule. Instead of providing the standard 1-year data products, the Census Bureau released experimental estimates from the 1-year data. This includes a limited number of data tables for the nation, states, and the District of Columbia.  The 2020 ACS 1-year experimental estimates are posted on the 2020 ACS 1-Year Experimental Data Tables page; they are not available on data.census.gov.

    Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS): DSHS’s Facilities, Finance and Analytics Administration (FFA) provides leadership in financial, operational and risk management services.  This administration produces a comprehensive time-series collection of county and school district-level data related to substance use and abuse, and the risk factors that predict substance use among youth, called the Risk and Protection Profiles for Substance Abuse Prevention for Washington State and its Communities.  In addition, they provide aggregate client counts, use rates and cost by age groups for many DSHS services, as well as research articles on mental health and substance use in Washington. 

    Washington State Healthy Youth Survey (HYS): HYS is a collaborative effort of the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Department of Health, the Department of Social and Health Services Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery, and the Liquor Control Board.
