Health statistics serve diverse needs:

• Individuals use health statistics to understand their own risks, conditions, and health status in a broader context.
• Researchers and physicians use them to study the causes and solutions of health problems.
• Health resource planners use them to understand the allocation of health resources.
• Policy makers and the public use them to monitor progress.
• Legislators consult them when enacting laws, conducting program oversight, and considering appropriations.
