The Michigan Critical Health Indicators: 2007 represents a noticeable change over previous editions.  Most significant is the expansion of the previous twenty-five indicators to forty-two, organized into seventeen health care topics.  These topics provide a framework for grouping similar indicators, and providing a more comprehensive understanding of important health areas such as health behavior, maternal health, and health insurance coverage. 

Each topic expands to one or more indicators which describe the indicator with respect to its impact on health in Michigan, its trend over time, its relationship to a national average or mean, and the efforts taken by the Department to impact upon the indicator.
