HITT 1107 - Chapter 1 HW Possible Points: 25 Using the Michigan Department of Community Health’s website , answer the following questions: 1. Spend some time exploring the website. Get familiar with the different areas, the information the organization provides, and the statistics included. a. Which area of the website is most interesting to you and why? (1 pt) The most interesting thing on the website to me is the section for Birth, Death, Marriage, and Divorce Certificates. It’s interesting to me because my mother currently needs a copy of her marriage certificate to be able to get her enhanced ID. b. Which area do you think you might use in the future and for what reason? (2 pts) In the future I think I may use the Michigan immunization portal. I may need to use it to get copies of my family’s immunization records. 2. Click on Keeping Michigan Healthy, Health & Human Services. Choose a topic that has statistics reported. a. Choose a statistic to report. Which statistic (be specific) did you choose and why? 1 pt) I chose Invasive Cancer Incidence by Primary Site and Age at Diagnosis Michigan Residents, 2019. I chose this because my mother was diagnosed with bladder cancer about a year ago. I wanted to see what the statistics were for her age group. b. Who might need to use this information and why? What decision could be made by using the statistics in your chosen area? (2 pts) Healthcare professionals can use this information. I think that by using the cancer statistics it can help prevent some cancers from getting too bad. It may help with encouraging patients to get screened for cancer at a specific age.
3. When you click on the website link, the first page has an area, County and Local Health Department Tables by Topic, click on ACS Hospitalizations. a. Create a table of data by clicking on the options on the left-hand side of the screen. What table did you create? Be specific. (1 pt) I created a table that has statistics for ACS for females ages 25-44 by diagnosis. b. Include the table here. You can take a screen shot or use a snip-it tool to include it in this document. (2 pts) 4. Go to the same area as #4 but click on Infant Mortality. Click on the Infant Mortality Statistics by County, District or City, 1989-2020 table. a. In 2020, how many live births were there in Michigan? (1 pt) There were 104,166 b. Choose the city you live in. Which city did you choose? How many live births were there in 2020? (1 pt) Detroit had 8,810 livebirths in 2020 c. Find a table that includes age of the mother. What is the Infant Death rate for mothers under the age of 20 years? The infant death rate is 10.9 . Is the rate higher or lower than the overall rate for all births in Michigan? It is lower than the number of births. What might contribute to the higher rate? I think that maybe it’s lack of prenatal care. (2 pts) Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website , answer the following questions: 5. Choose Diseases and Conditions then Data and Statistics.
