  "methodology": "A Health-Burden axis is built from CDC PLACES crude adult prevalence (diagnosed diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, fair or poor self-rated health, frequent physical distress). An Access & SDOH barriers axis combines uninsured (adults 18-64), below poverty (acs), households without a vehicle (acs) (Census ACS measures join CDC PLACES here). Each measure is min-max normalized across the state's counties to 0-100, then averaged within its axis. A Provider-Shortage axis scales each county's worst designated primary-care HPSA score against the HRSA 0-26 severity scale. The combined Targeting-Priority Index is the equal-weighted mean of the three axes. PLACES values are model-based estimates with confidence intervals (carried per county), not direct counts. Scores are relative WITHIN Wyoming: a 100 marks the worst county in the state on that axis, not a national benchmark.",
  "limitations": [
    "Scores are intra-state relative, not absolute or cross-state comparable.",
    "These candidate measures were unavailable for Wyoming in this release (BRFSS SDOH-module participation varies by state), so they are excluded from the index: Lack of reliable transportation, Food insecurity, Housing insecurity.",
    "PLACES values are small-area model-based estimates with confidence intervals, not direct counts.",
    "HPSA aggregation takes the worst designated primary-care score per county; geographic, population-group, and facility designations are pooled.",
    "Equal axis weighting is a transparent default, not a calibrated policy model.",
    "Socioeconomic measures are ACS 2019-2023 5-year estimates; ACS estimates carry margins of error not reflected in the composite.",
    "This is informational analysis of public data, not clinical, individual, or actuarial advice."

      "answer": "It ranks all 23 Wyoming counties by a combined Targeting-Priority Index that fuses adult chronic-disease and social-risk prevalence from CDC PLACES with federally designated primary-care provider shortages from HRSA, highlighting where health need and thin provider supply overlap."
    },

      "question": "Which public datasets is it built from?",
      "answer": "CDC PLACES county estimates (PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, County Data, 2025 release, measure year 2023) and the HRSA Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Area detail file, both fully open federal sources accessed 2026-08-01."
    },
    {
      "question": "How should the Targeting-Priority Index be used?",
      "answer": "As a transparent first-pass screen for where to focus outreach, workforce, or program resources. Scores are relative within the state and equal-weighted by default; a real engagement would calibrate weights to a program's goals and add socioeconomic and utilization layers."
