HA535-2: Apply descriptive statistics in analyzing health data.

Instructions

You have been recently hired as an Epidemiological Research Assistant  at your county’s Health Department. It is only day 1 on the job and you  have been asked to develop a presentation for the County Commissioners  describing a health disparity within your community.

In your report, you are asked to summarize the demographical  information about the population, as well as summarize the health  disparity. The County Commissioners ask that you present your findings  in a PowerPoint® presentation.

In statistics or epidemiology, when you are asked to summarize an  issue, this means that you must do so by using quantitative information.  For this Assignment, please summarize by using only descriptive  statistics. In order to procure this information, you will need to  access databases supported by your State Public Health Department, CDC,  CMS, etc.

You should pick a health disparity applicable to your future career.

Throughout your presentation, you must appropriately evaluate the  effectiveness of descriptive statistics in summarizing the demographics  of the population and the health disparity. Provide contextual  information where appropriate.

 PLAGIARISM IS HIGHLY NOT ACCEPTABLE.
