Daviess County Health Synopsis: An assessment of the health of Daviess County reveals several strengths. A high
education level, low rate of uninsured residents, and stable per capita income provide a firm foundation for economic growth
and the attendant benefits of improved health. The county also ranks well in terms of youth smoking, prevalence of obesity,
oral health, and motor vehicle deaths. While the combination of these healthy behaviors has worked to control health risk,
community leaders can further improve their status by lowering intermediate figures and confronting challenges. Greater use
of medical screenings, which ensure early detection and treatment, can lower colorectal cancer mortality rates, while lung
cancer deaths can be reduced by encouraging current smokers to cut back and/or quit and preventing nonsmokers from
starting. Reducing adult smoking levels will also positively affect instances of low birthweight and infant mortality by
decreasing the number of mothers who smoke or are exposed to secondhand smoke during pregnancy. Physical inactivity is
another challenge for Daviess County that can be counteracted through campaigns to increase awareness and promote
participation in common exercises, such as walking.
