Chronic Disease Indicators for Arthritis

For anyone interested in accessing state-specific arthritis data there are now eight arthritis indicators that can be queried in a data base. The Chronic Disease Indicators (CDI) is a cross-cutting set of 90 indicators that were developed by consensus and allow states and territories to uniformly define, collect, and report chronic disease data that are important to public health practice. In addition to providing access to state-specific indicator data, the CDI Web site serves as a gateway to additional information and data resources.
