IBIS-PH Indicator Reports Introduction

Welcome to the IBIS-PH Indicator Reports page. A health indicator is a numeric measure that depicts the status of a population or a health system on a core public health construct. An indicator report, sometimes referred to as an indicator profile, provides online numerical data for a health indicator as well as its public health context, including what the current status is and what is being done to improve it.

Programs throughout the Utah Department of Health prepare these indicator profiles to provide an overview of a specific public health issue in Utah. For more detailed information about Indicator Profiles see the Indicator Profile Contents and Usage page.

If more information is needed than what the indicator profile provides, the Custom Query System is available or the program can be contacted directly using the information provided in the indicator profile footer (at the bottom of the page).

Getting Started

  1. Since there are over 100 Indicator Profiles to choose from, several indexes exist to help find and select the desired profile.
    • Categorized Index - Indicators are placed in one or more of several categorization schemes, such as by program, by data source, or by HP2010 focus area, etc.
    • Alphabetical Index - All available indicator profiles are listed in alphabetical order by their titles.
  2. Select the indicator profile
  3. View additional indicator profile information by using the indicator profile page's left hand navigation menu. This menu allows viewing important facts, other charts, numerical data table, related indicators, related links, and the complete profile.
