Historical ARHA Publications
The Alabama Community Health Resource Guide was developed to help grassroots organizations and health professionals
identify local and regional health status issues, integrate issues of rural health care into economic development and
community planning, assist communities with grant writing and provide baseline health data for evaluation of community
programs.
This guide is divided into four sections:
1. Unique Alabama factors affecting the health care delivery
system
2. Tips on presenting health data
3. Data report examples
4. Resources for finding health-related data
The following series of reports presents information on selected rural health status indicators for the U.S., Alabama, rural counties, urban counties, Alabama Rural Action Commission districts, the Black Belt Action Commission district, Alabama's Appalachian Region counties, and Alabama's Delta Region counties.

Diabetes Mortality (October 2007) (In "pdf" format)

The following report includes descriptive totals and rates for the nation, Alabama, rural and urban counties, Alabama Rural Action Commission regions, special regions, and counties describing mortality due to heart diseases, cancer, cerebrovascular diseases (stroke), accidents, and diabetes. Information describing those at risk and how to lower risk is also presented.
Selected Indicators of Health Status In Alabama (October 2007) (In "pdf" format)
The following is a series of reports that are developed to assist those seeking to improve health care in rural Alabama. Each report includes information on 68 different rural health status indicators, comparing the rural and urban counties in the Alabama Rural Action Commission regions and the Black Belt Action Commission region to the State of Alabama and the United States (where possible). Regional reports can be used in conjunction with the “County Specific Data” in identifying specific health related concerns at the county level. While this series of reports was primarily developed to assist those volunteering to work with the Governor's Alabama Rural Action Commission and Black Belt Action Commission, this information should be of value to anyone with an interest in Alabama’s rural health care.
