Indicator Report - Utah Population Characteristics: Education Level in the Population
Why Is This Important?
Education level is strongly related to health status. It is too simplistic to say that better education causes better health; however, higher levels of education often result in higher family income, greater self-determination and understanding of health and illness factors, improved mental health, and a higher level of social and family support. All of those factors can result in better health.Educational Attainment: Highest Level of Attainment, Aged 25 Years or Over, Utah and U.S., 2010
