Map Details – Percent of South Dakota Women Eligible for All Women Count! Program

Impact Statement

This map shows the percentage of women ages 50-64 years eligible for the All Women Count! (AWC!) program at the county-level in South Dakota. The program aims to provide breast cancer screening services (clinical breast exam and mammogram) to the most vulnerable population (low income and uninsured).

Percent of South Dakota Women Eligible for All Women Count! Program

Using the Small Area Health Insurance Estimate (SAHIE) data (2013), which is a publicly available data source, we estimated the number and the distribution of women eligible for the AWC! program. The map shows variation across counties in the distribution of low income and uninsured women.

U.S. Census Bureau Small Area Health Insurance Estimate (SAHIE), 2013.

Using 2013 SAHIE data, we calculated the percentage of SD women eligible for AWC! funded breast cancer screening services. The percent eligible is the number of women in the specified county who meet the eligibility criteria (ages 50-64, with income less than or equal to 200% of the federal poverty level and uninsured), divided by the number of all women aged 50-64 in the specified county, multiplied by 100.
