Data sources

Using the Small Area Health Insurance Estimate (SAHIE) data (2013), which is a publicly available data source, we estimated the number and the distribution of women eligible for the AWC! program. The map shows variation across counties in the distribution of low income and uninsured women.

U.S. Census Bureau Small Area Health Insurance Estimate (SAHIE), 2013.

Using 2013 SAHIE data, we calculated the percentage of SD women eligible for AWC! funded breast cancer screening services. The percent eligible is the number of women in the specified county who meet the eligibility criteria (ages 50-64, with income less than or equal to 200% of the federal poverty level and uninsured), divided by the number of all women aged 50-64 in the specified county, multiplied by 100.
