Presentations

Behavioral Health - This is the Behavioral Health presentation that was prepared by the Long Island Health Collaborative. The data presented includes the hospitalization and ED visit rates of various diagnoses by gender and race for Nassau and Suffolk Counties, information from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, and information from the Expanded Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey. These data elements are then compared to Long Island, New York State, and New York State excluding New York City. The information from this presentation came from the Prevention Agenda Dashboard, SPARCS, and the Conference of Local Mental Hygiene Directors Behavioral Health Information Portal. It should be noted that, due to the availability of data, there are limitations to this report. The SPARCS data that was used to produce the rates is limited to people who went to a hospital and does not include the entire population.
