“Public health is local, and local information is required to increase awareness among residents and policy makers alike of the unique challenges facing communities”, conclude Laura Dwyer-Lindgren and colleagues in an Article published in this issue of The Lancet Public Health
Subdividing the county into 397 census tracks and examining cause-specific mortality and years of life lost from 152 causes of deaths has allowed Dwyer-Lindgren and colleagues to unravel these huge life expectancy differences between neighbourhoods, and to identify areas where the burden of specific cause of death is substantially higher
Summary
