NURS FPX 5003 Assessment 4 Executive Summary: Community Health Assessment

Demographics to Address Diabetes in West Virginia A total of 65,300 West Virginians have not been diagnosed with diabetes, despite the fact that approximately 250,000 West Virginians are thought to have the disease. In 2010, the prevalence of diabetes was 12.5% among men and 11.5% among women. WV is home to a wide variety of racial and ethnic groups, including African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and white people. Education is another social determinant of health. Comparing the populations of diabetic and non-diabetic West Virginians will help paint a picture of diabetes and health equity. According to the Health Statistics Centre, n.d., over a ten-year period, the proportion of people with diabetes was significantly higher among those who did not complete high school than among those who did (Health Statistics Centre, n.d.). Summary of West Virginia Demographics Connected to Diabetes An estimated 17% of black people, 16% of white people, 9% of Asian Americans, 7% of non-Hispanic whites, and 11% of multiracial people in West Virginia have diabetes (America’s Health Ranking, n.d.). They make it easier for people at risk for diabetes to participate in programs that use evidence-based lifestyle changes to lower the risk (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019).
