CDC Surveillance Data on HIV, Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis with Social Determinants

This dataset comprises 3,144 files from the CDC's AtlasPlus tool, providing nearly 20 years of surveillance data on HIV, viral hepatitis, STDs, and tuberculosis. It includes indicators on social determinants of health and is broken down by geography, year, and demographic information.

Use Cases

• Analyze disease incidence trends over nearly 20 years of surveillance data by geography and year.
• Examine correlations between social determinants of health indicators and disease surveillance data for specific geographies.
• Create demographic breakdowns of STD, HIV, or tuberculosis case data by age group and race where available.

Strengths

• Contains 3,144 files of structured data from a public health authority.
• Covers nearly 20 years of surveillance data for multiple diseases.
• Includes social determinants of health indicators alongside disease data.

Limitations

• Data completeness is inconsistent, as not every combination of indicator, geography, and demographic breakdown has an available file.
• The dataset's structure across many files may require significant preprocessing for unified analysis.
• Demographic breakdowns are not available for all indicators, such as social determinants of health data.
