Document Summary

Data collected from actual populations are used to construct models describing the survival experience of populations of a certain type and estimate the experience of other comparable populations or individuals within them. The object of classification is to divide the population into sub-groups which are homogeneous in some respect. The major classifications are by year of age and by sex. Statistics that describe the state of a population: Sex ratio = 100 x no. of males / no. of females. More than 100 for all countries in the world. Child-woman ratio = 100 x no. of children aged 0-4 / no. of females aged 15-49. Dependency ratio = 100 x (no. of people aged 0-14 + no. of people aged 65+) / no. of people aged. Youth dependency ratio = 100 x no. of people aged 0-14 / no. of people aged 15-64. Age dependency ratio = 100 x no. of people aged 65+ / no. of people aged 15-64.

provide information about the populations (size and/or situation) that will be impacted. In your description, make sure you do the following:

1.Explain the difference between raw data and information derived from it, and give examples of substantive information pertinent to this list of emerging public health issues.

2. Identify the ethnographic (sociocultural) features and the epidemiological (disease risk) features of the population

3. present probable consequences to the population if intervention is not enacted.

4. Create a statement of hypothesized causes of each problem so that the audience can judge the level and type of intervention the public expects. Make sure you discuss both the following factors: Ethnographic factors: Explain what individuals, people, governments, business, or other agencies are doing that may contribute to the problem. Epidemiological factors: Explain changes in environments or agents that may be contributing to the emergence of the problem.

5.Provide evidence of systemic or programmatic problems. Provide examples of substantive information pertinent to the list of emerging public health issues.
