Chronic Disease Indicators: 2022-2024 Refresh and Modernization of the Web Tool.

Easy access and display of state-level estimates of the prevalence of chronic diseases and their risk factors can guide evidence-based decision-making, policy development, and tailored efforts to improve population health outcomes; however, these estimates are often presented across multiple websites and reports. The Chronic Disease Indicators (CDI) web tool (www.cdc.gov/cdi) disseminates state-level data compiled from various data sources, including surveys, vital records, and administrative data, and applies standardized definitions to estimate and track a wide range of key indicators of chronic diseases and their risk factors. In 2022-2024, the indicators were refreshed to include 113 measures across 21 topic areas, and the web tool was modernized to enhance its key features and functionalities, including standardized indicator definitions; interactive charts, graphs, and maps that present data in a visually appealing format; an easy-to-use web-based interface for users to query and extract the data they need; and state comparison reports to identify geographic variations in disease and risk factor prevalence. National and state-level estimates are provided for the overall population and, where applicable, by sex, race and ethnicity, and age. We review the history of CDIs, describe the 2022-2024 refresh process, and explore the interactive features of the CDI web tool with the goal of demonstrating how practitioners, policymakers, and other users can easily examine and track a wide range of key indicators of chronic diseases and their risk factors to support state-level public health action.
