Jason Schulist was a guest on Outside the Box with Ben Cominos.
Listen to the interview (starting around 44:40) here.
- The Fox Valley Data Exchange is a free, nonprofit “one-stop shop” website that centralizes high‑quality community data for Calumet, Outagamie, and Winnebago counties, helping residents and leaders make evidence‑based decisions.
- Data on the site are organized around seven Vital Conditions for Wellbeing; for June, conversations focused on men’s health under “Basic Needs for Health and Safety,” including obesity, heart disease, alcohol use, and related risks.
- Local trends show men in the Tri‑County area have significantly higher coronary heart disease mortality than women, and binge drinking rates are high across many communities, reinforcing the need for better prevention, lifestyle changes, and early intervention.
- The Data Exchange emphasizes not just providing numbers but also teaching people to question methods and sources, showing how misinterpreted or poorly sourced statistics (like naive cheese‑consumption calculations) can badly distort reality.
- Listeners are encouraged to use the site to explore neighborhood‑level data, reflect on their own habits (diet, exercise, alcohol), and support healthier choices and policies—especially around men’s health—using solid local evidence rather than assumptions.
