Web-based Mapping of Special Needs Populations
A Part of the Q-DART Toolset
RAND has developed an interactive tool to help state and local health departments better identify, plan for, and respond to special needs populations. This web-based GIS tool uses US Census data to identify special needs populations, ranging from frail elderly to children, populations with limited English proficiency, and populations with limited resources. Available to public health department representatives, this user-friendly tool also links users to information on promising strategies for integrating assistance for special needs populations into public health planning and response.
