Information presented in St. Clair County’s SUD-HERC includes 20 public health indicators broken down by location (Port Huron, St. Clair County County, Michigan). Each indicator is organized into one of three categories: health services and access, socioeconomic status, and substance use. Grouping the indicators into these categories helps us understand the health of our community to see what’s working and what should be addressed. Use the button below to explore the report.
SUD-HERC: St. Clair County
To understand the differences for each indicator, we calculated a disparity ratio. This tells us how small (good) or large (bad) the differences are for each indicator. A letter grade is then given for each disparity (difference). Importantly, we must keep in mind that little to no disparity (difference) – an A or B grade – does not mean adequate health services, access, behaviors, or outcomes. It simply means there isn’t a large difference between race or geographic locations for this health indicator.
Please contact Dr. Heatherlun Uphold or fill out a feedback survey (linked within each HERC) if you have any questions or feedback.
