DATA AND STATISTICS

Begin this assignment by accessing the enhanced version of theBRFSS Prevalence and Trends Tool.

You have the option of exploring the prevalence data by location or topic. Both routes enable you to view and download prevalence estimates through charts, graphs, and maps based on the path you direct. This version provides access to prevalence estimates from the BRFSS core data at the state level as well as data from Selected Metropolitan/Micropolitan Area Risk Trends (SMART). The prevalence estimates have been updated to include both crude prevalence and age-adjusted prevalence.

Submit your document as a Microsoft Word Document to the assignment drop box by the due date. Label your assignment with your first initial, last name and assignment name (for example, CPattonCaseStudy1). (THIS WILL BE ADDED BY ME)

Data and statistics

The managed care organization has asked you to put together a spreadsheet that shows a comparison between 3 diseases that are impacting 3 different countries. Because your department will be coming up for an accreditation performance review, this is a good time to start to evaluate data. In recent years, studies have indicated an increase in overall rates for cancer, HIV/AIDS, and obesity.

Use the library, textbook, and the Web site for the World Health Organization (WHO) to research and explain why there is such a profound change in these countries during the time span. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of 8–10 slides with speaker notes of 75-150 words not including title or reference pages.
