HIP 2005 Survey Data
- How many Washtenaw County residents smoke?
- How often do we exercise?
- How many children in our community have asthma?
The data for these questions and many more are
available from the 2005 HIP survey. Every 5 years the Washtenaw County
Health Improvement Plan (HIP) survey is conducted in our community.
From February 2005 to January 2006, over 2000 adults in
Washtenaw County were interviewed by phone about their health
status and health behavior. In addition, over 700 of the adults reported on
the health status of one child in the household. The HIP survey
is based on a random-digit dial sample. (For complete survey methodology, click here).
Most of the questions in the 2005 HIP survey are based on the Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (BRFS), so local data can be directly compared to state and national data. The data are also available by region of the County and can be viewed on a map.
The 2005 HIP survey was made possible by a collaborative community effort. The following organizations funded the survey:
- Washtenaw County Public Health
- University of Michigan Health System
- Saint Joseph Mercy Health System
- Chelsea Community Hospital
- Pfizer
- Washtenaw United Way
