In Chapter 6 you have been reading about General Health and Population Indicators. Health indicators are used to identify the health status of a population. Health indicators frequently rely on data required by law, such as birth certificates and death certificates. you will study the distribution of a particular health-related event, teenage births, by exploring data from birth certificates. Teenage pregnancy is a health indicator that remains a major contributor to maternal and child mortality, and to intergenerational cycles of ill-health and poverty. Read the following scenario: The Springfield, Massachusetts, Town Council thinks that the city may have a serious teenage pregnancy problem. The council wants to know how many children were born to Springfield’s teenagers during 2001. As the director of the Springfield’s Office of Vital Statistics, you have the responsibility of answering this question. Your assistant has combed through copies of the 1,673 Certificates of Live Birth that were issued for children born at 11 hospitals in western Massachusetts during 2001. He has made copies of all the birth certificates that he thought were issued for children born to Springfield’s teenagers. When he was in doubt, he made a copy of the certificate so that others could decide. These copies were placed on your desk at 2 p.m. You will need to review the birth certificates in question and prepare a written response for the Town Council meeting tomorrow, including a bar graph showing distribution of teenage births for each age. Your assignment: a case definition of a teenage birth. (A case definition is a way to describe who has the health-related state by identifying what happened, where it happened and when it happened.) Enter the Birth Certificate data in an Excel Spreadsheet including: Birth Certificate Number (1-51), Child Date of Birth, Child City of Birth, Mother Date of Birth, Mother Town of Residence, Father Date of Birth Count the number of teenage births that occurred in Springfield in 2001. Add the following columns to the Excel Spread Sheet: Mother’s age at time of birth, Is Mother a Teenager (0=No, 1=Yes), Child Born to a Springfield Teenage Mother (0=No, 1=Yes) Use the Data you compiled to create a bar graph with Age of Mother (Years) on the X-axis and # of Children Born in Springfield on the y-axis. Copy and paste this bar graph into your summary ***Creating the Bar Graph in Excel is the same procedure as you followed in creating the epidemic curve last week. The first column highlighted is the x-axis and the second one will be the y-axis. page summary of your findings for the Town Council meeting that includes responses to the following questions: Your case definition that you used to evaluate the data How many children were born to Springfield’s teenagers during 2001? Bar Graph of the results In your opinion, does Springfield have a serious problem with children being born to teenage mothers?
