The Community Health Status Indicators Project (CHSI) 2008 provides 16-page reports for the 3141 counties in the United States, each of which includes more than 300 county-specific data items related to chronic and infectious diseases, birth characteristics or outcomes, causes of death, environmental health, availability of health services, behavioral risk factors, health-related quality of life, vulnerable populations, summary measures of health, and health disparities. The CHSI, originally initiated in 2000, provides county-level health profiles for all U.S. counties so that programs addressing community health can readily access community health indicators. Each county report also permits comparisons of a county's health status with similar "peer counties," with all counties, and with national Healthy People 2010 objectives. Under the leadership of a public-private partnership, the CHSI Steering Committee updated each county report and added new information and features to create CHSI 2008. This new CHSI version includes data for 1994 through 2006 from multiple surveillance systems. New features include an enhanced Web site, an Internet mapping application, and a downloadable database of the indicators for all counties.
2008年社区健康状况指标项目（CHSI）为美国的3141个县提供了16页的报告，每份报告包含300多项与慢性和传染病、出生特征或结果、死亡原因、环境卫生、卫生服务可及性、行为风险因素、健康相关生活质量、弱势群体、健康汇总指标以及健康差异相关的特定县数据项。CHSI最初于2000年启动，为美国所有县提供县级健康概况，以便处理社区健康问题的项目能够方便地获取社区健康指标。每份县报告还允许将一个县的健康状况与类似的“对等县”、所有县以及《2010年美国人健康目标》进行比较。在公私合作关系的领导下，CHSI指导委员会更新了每份县报告，并添加了新信息和功能，从而创建了2008年CHSI。这个新的CHSI版本包括来自多个监测系统的1994年至2006年的数据。新功能包括一个增强的网站、一个互联网地图应用程序以及一个可下载的所有县指标数据库。
