 Binational Vital Signs: A Quality of Life Indicator Program for the San Diego–Tijuana Metropolitan Region1Celeste Murphy‐Greene and John Blair Review of Policy Research, 2004, vol. 21, issue 5, 681-698 Abstract: This is a study of a binational community indicator program for the San Diego–Tijuana metropolitan area (SDTMA). The key objective of the research was to produce a citizen‐generated community indicator program (CIP). The study is closely based on the work of the two focus groups held in the two cities and offers a small program that has immediate practical potential for implementation. The program consists of a suite of thirty‐five indicators for which data has been identified and provided. Fifteen of the indicators apply to Tijuana, twenty to San Diego. The program is built around principles of community well‐being or quality of life (QOL). It is the first subregional attempt at the scale of the United States‐Mexico Bi‐National Region (BNR) to integrate existing environmental, social, and economic data into a single coherent program to inform community leaders about the condition of the SDTMA. The region covered by the CIP generally consists of the urbanized core of metropolitan Tijuana, the city of San Diego, and associated cities like Chula Vista and El Cajon within the southern part of San Diego County.
