2-2 Journal: Determining the Type of Data You Need DAT-375 Ashley Littles Southern New Hampshire University As a data analyst consultant that has been hired by a hospital to help with their internal study surrounding the most common injuries with infants and children within the last 10 years compared to the most common injuries for the previous 10 years of infants and children at this hospital, I am responsible for determining what the problem is and what types of data are needed to resolve the problem. For this study the problem is what specifically are the most common injuries with infants and children within the last 10 years compared to the most common injuries of infants and children at the hospital. To create results for the hospital’s internal study, the data I would choose to isolate would be specific ages for the infants and children. The ages for infants would range from birth to a year old and the ages for the children would start from two years old up to 10 years old. The data I would need to extract is medical records from the previous 10 years and then medical records from the last 10 years at this hospital. Lastly, the data that I would extract is data for what the specific injuries are anywhere from a bruise to broken bones and then isolate the injuries that have the highest numbers which in turn would be the most common injuries. I decided to choose the age range of birth to a year old for the infant category to extract is because most children 2 years old and older are considered a toddler which would technically put them out of the infant category. For the children I capped the age to 10 years old because most 11- and 12-year-olds are

looked on as pre-teens and 13 and up would be considered teenagers. “The pre-teen years (10–12 years) are a phase of rapid change before the increased independence of adolescence” (Wade, Seward, Almendingen & Robinson, 2019).
