METHODOLOGY
1
Methodology
Understanding a community’s health needs helps health care organizations, like DeKalb Medical, develop programs
and services to improve the health status of the populations they serve.
The 2013 Community Health Assessment Report uses the latest demographic, health and risk behavior data to
describe the health status of DeKalb County and Hillandale area (i.e., Lithonia and Redan) residents.
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA SOURCES
The county’s population estimates were obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2010 American Community Survey
and The Georgia County Guide for 2010 through 2012.
HEALTH DATA SOURCES
DeKalb Community Service Board
The DeKalb Community Service Board provided all of the data for the Behavioral Health in DeKalb County
section.
DeKalb County Board of Health
The DeKalb County Board of Health’s Division of Environmental Health provided data on West Nile virus for the
Infectious Diseases in DeKalb County section.
Georgia Department of Public Health
Georgia Comprehensive Cancer Registry
The Georgia Comprehensive Cancer Registry collects all cancer cases diagnosed among Georgia residents since
January 1, 1995. The registry staff provided cancer data for the Chronic Diseases in DeKalb County section.
HIV/AIDS Epidemiology Section
The section staff provided HIV/AIDS data for the Infectious Diseases in DeKalb County section.
Online Analytical Statistical Information System (OASIS)
OASIS is a set of web-based tools for analyzing Georgia’s public health data. Data from OASIS is used throughout
the report.
Refugee Program
The program staff provided all of the data for the Refugee Health in DeKalb County section.
State Electronic Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (SENDSS)
SENDSS is a web-based reporting system that collects information pertaining to notifiable diseases in Georgia.
State law requires that healthcare providers notify the state’s public health system of diagnosed cases of over 50
diseases and conditions.
2
RISK BEHAVIOR DATA SOURCES
The DeKalb County Board of Health conducts two surveys to assess residents’ health-related risk behaviors. One
is the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey of adults and the other is the Youth Risk Behavior Survey
of high school students.
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Survey
DeKalb County residents were interviewed by telephone. Telephone numbers were randomly dialed and
respondents were randomly selected from the adult members of each household. Participation was voluntary
and anonymous, and the sample did not include institutionalized individuals, households without telephones, and
households that use only cellular telephones. Trained telephone interviewers administered the questionnaire.
Data were weighted to represent the age, race/ethnicity and gender distributions of adults in DeKalb County.
Logistic regression was used to compare age groups and trends over time.
Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS)
A sample of students from all 20 traditional DeKalb County public high schools completed a written questionnaire.
The number of participating classes varied depending on the population size of the school. Classes were randomly
chosen from among all second period classes (excluding English as a Second Language and special education). All
students within a selected class were eligible to participate.
Passive consent forms were sent home for parents to sign if they did not want their child to participate. All students
without a signed form were encouraged to participate. Participation was anonymous and voluntary and data are
reported only in aggregate form. DCBOH employees administered the survey.
Results were weighted, are representative of all students in DeKalb County public high schools, and are comparable
to state and national YRBS data. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze trends over time.
STATISTICAL METHODS
Percentages
For the most part, disease and death-related data are analyzed using percentages instead of rates (e.g., number of
cases per 100,000 population). Percentages are accessible to the general public and facilitate comparison between
DeKalb County and the Hillandale area.
Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL)
Years of potential life lost is used to compare causes of premature death. YPLL was calculated by subtracting the
age of death from 75 years. The age of 75 years is used as the cut-off as it is close to life expectancy (78 years) in
the United States.
For example, a person who dies at age 27 has lost 75 minus 27, or 48 years, of potential life. A person who dies
at age 72 has lost 75 minus 72, or 3 years, of potential life. Together, these two people contribute 48 plus 3, or 51
years, of potential life lost.
The top ten leading causes of premature death are listed in the Leading Causes sections for DeKalb County and the
Hillandale area. However, death data in other sections include people of all ages.

HILLANDALE AREA
The Hillandale area was defined using the following census tracts from 2000: 232.03, 232.04, 232.06, 232.08, 232.09,
232.1, 232.11, 232.12, 233.02, 233.03, 233.09, 233.1, 233.07, 234.17, and 234.18.
LIMITATIONS
Statistical limitation regarding some racial/ethnic groups
Most of the report uses the racial categories of “white,” “black,” and “other.” Since the sizes of the Asian and
Hispanic populations are too small for statistical purposes, these groups are included in the “other” category.
Lack of some community-level prevalence data
Much of the health data is defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9). The
ICD-9 includes hospital data on individuals who went to an emergency room and/or were admitted. Since it does

not capture individuals who did not access a hospital for care, it does not fully reflect the extent of some conditions
and diseases in the community.
For example, the prevalence of high blood pressure in DeKalb County and Hillandale is analyzed using the number
of individuals who were discharged after a hospital stay for this condition. Since many individuals do not seek
hospital care for high blood pressure, they are not captured.
Lack of 2009 death data by cause of death
The data on the county’s 2009 deaths analyzed by cause of death are not available from OASIS.
Lack of some data at the census tract level
A number of census tract maps are included in the report to demonstrate the geographic distribution of health
issues affecting DeKalb County residents. However, not all health data is available at the census tract level.
