  1. Known Documented Risk Factors

This should be a snapshot of the indicator and what we know about it in terms of predisposing and contributing risk factors.

  1. Trends in U.S. over the past 10 years

This should include an overall view of where our populations was 10 years ago and what has happened since in terms of percent of population increasing or decreasing in behavior, current trends (e.g., crystal methamphetamine has become highly popular in the past year or two, especially with adults in rural areas), and general factors that may be influencing increases or decreases.

  1. Trends in Illinois over the past 10 years

Same as above, except specific to Illinois.

  1. Populations with Highest Disparities

Identify where the greatest disparities are occurring for your health indicator. Consider race, gender, geographic, education, and income. Do differences exist? If so, where? You are to find general information that can be used as a starting point for a discussion associated with the leading health indicators.
