Summary 

IHME research, published in Population Health Metrics in September 2010, introduces a new approach for generating estimates of health trends using small area measurement methods. The study, A novel framework for validating and applying standardized small area measurement strategies, provides estimates for diabetes prevalence by sex, difference between county and state prevalence, and a county ranking. Results show large variation in county-level diabetes prevalence rates.
