The Scottish Public Health Observatory (ScotPHO) has published new Health and Wellbeing Profiles for Community Health Partnership (CHP) areas in Scotland.
The new profiles comprise 61 indicators of health and wider determinants of health. There are individual profile reports for 30 of the CHP areas in Scotland. Profiles for the 10 Community Health (and Care) Partnership areas in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have been produced separately by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health, although these are accessible via the ScotPHO website. In addition to the individual CHP profile reports, we have produced a Scotland Overview report (including data for NHS boards) and a full technical report.
The profiles are designed to:
- Provide organisations and communities with up-to-date and locally-relevant public health intelligence.
- Highlight health and social inequalities.
- Show trends in key indicators.
- Provide local information for targeting resources and priority-setting.
- Develop knowledge of the complex nature of health and its determinants.
The profiles can be accessed at the following web address:
