All participants are also welcome to work on their own project, in teams or
4 independently. Analysis of the Behavioral Risk Factor and Surveillance System must be incorporated in all projects. BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR AND SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (BRFSS) **This dataset must be incorporated in all submitted projects.** Sample Population: adults across 50 states (via phone survey) Time frame: Aggregation levels: geography, age, sex, demographics Measures: behaviors resulting in leading causes of premature mortality and morbidity among adults: cigarette smoking alcohol use physical activity diet hypertension safety belt use Data: will be available July 28th. MEDICARE PROVIDER UTILIZATION AND PAYMENT DATA Sample Population: Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries across 50 states Time frame: Aggregation levels: cost, geography, age, sex, demographics, procedures, medical services, physicians Measures: utilization and payments for the 100 most common inpatient services, 30 common outpatient services, and physician and other supplier procedures and services performed on 11 or more Medicare beneficiaries OUTPATIENT DATA PHYSICIAN & SUPPLIER DATA INPATIENT DATA Tool: Here's a link to an interactive data tool that helps to organize the data above.
5 ADVERSE DRUG EVENT REPORTS Sample Population: Americans who reported serious adverse reports on drugs administered to hospital patients or at outpatient infusion centers. Time frame: Aggregation levels: age, sex, demographics, drugs Measures: drug side effects, product use errors, product quality problems, and therapeutic failures for prescription or over-the-counter medicines and medicines Data: Adverse events are collected through a series of safety reports. Each is identified by a 8-digit string (for instance, ). The first 7 digits (before the hyphen) identify the individual report, and the last digit (after the hyphen) is a checksum. Rather than updating individual records in FAERS, subsequent updates are submitted in separate reports. **Adverse event reports submitted to FDA do not undergo extensive validation or verification. Therefore, a causal relationship cannot be established between product and reactions listed in a report.** ADVERSE DRUG EVENT API NATIONAL HEALTH AND NUTRITION EXAMINATION SURVEY (NHANES) Sample Population: adults and children in the US Time frame: Aggregation levels: demographic, socioeconomic, geography Measures: health and nutritional status, medical, dental, and physiological measurements, and laboratory tests Data: Coming Soon. THE NATIONWIDE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SAMPLE (NEDS) Sample Population: Adults and children admitted to Emergency Departments (EDs) Time frame: Aggregation levels: demographic, socioeconomic, geography, age, cost Measures:
6 Discharge data for ED visits from over 950 hospitals located in 30 States, approximating a 20-percent stratified sample of U.S. hospital-based EDs Demographic data such as hospital and patient characteristics, geographic area, and the nature of ED visits (e.g., common reasons for ED visits, including injuries) ED charge information for over 85 percent of patients, including individuals covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance, as well as those who are uninsured NEDS DATA NATIONAL INPATIENT SAMPLE (NIS) Sample Population: Inpatient adults and children Time frame: Aggregation levels: demographic, socioeconomic, geography, age, cost, hospital characteristics Measures: clinical and resource-use information that is included in a typical discharge abstract, including: Primary and secondary diagnoses and procedures Expected payment source, Total charges Discharge status, Length of stay NIS DATA (SAS) YOUTH RISK BEHAVIOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (YRBSS) Sample Population: School-age youth Time frame: Aggregation levels: demographic, socioeconomic, geography, age Measures: behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth and adults Behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence Sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection Alcohol and other drug use Tobacco use
7 Unhealthy dietary behaviors Inadequate physical activity YRBSS DATA U.S. CENSUS BUREAU Sample Population: communities across the US Time frame: 2010 Aggregation levels: demographic, socioeconomic, geography, age, families Measures: information about entire populations of communities, including cross-tabulations of age, sex, households, families, relationship to householder, housing units, detailed race and Hispanic or Latino origin groups, and group quarters 2010 US CENSUS DATA Tool: The Quickfacts Visualization Tool provides fast, easy access to facts about people, communities, business, and geography on Census Data. ENVIROFACTS Sample Population: communities across the US Time frame: Aggregation levels: geography Measures: environmental data on air, waste, facility, land, toxics, compliance, water, radiation, and more for regions across the U.S. There are several choices for downloading data. Users may customize datasets by content and build their own search to download the results to a.csv file. The Geospatial Download feature enables a user to download spatial data files for use in mapping and reporting applications. ENVIROFACTS DATA DOWNLOADER Tool: The Eco-Health Relationship Browser illustrates scientific evidence for linkages between human health and ecosystems. This interactive tool provides information about several of our nation's major ecosystems, the services they provide, and how those services, or their degradation and loss, may affect people.
8 PROJECT SUGGESTIONS Here are some ideas for potentially meaningful projects and examples of what we are ultimately looking for. Remember, the goal is to create interactive, web-based visualization tools that better inform personal and policy health decisions. The final outputs of the visualizaton tools can be static (i.e. meant for policy briefings/reports) or dynamic (i.e. web-based tools that help users better understand the data). DATA COMPILER Develop a tool that allows for inputs of various datasets, organizes the PERSONAL HEALTH RISK IDENTIFIER Develop an application/web-based tool that visualizes individual health risks by integrating personal data into pre-aggregated government data. The user inputs medical history / personal health metrics and the app returns cleanly visualized information about correlations of their behavior to population trends. The visualized information returned could be any or all of the following: your probability of certain health outcomes (diabetes, stroke, heart attack) the degree to which each parameter affects the probability of each outcome where you fall statistically compared to o the US population, your state s population, your community s population (where available) o others having the same age/race/gender/income/education VISUALIZING POPULATION HEALTH RISKS Summarize relationships between various areas of data in compelling and meaningful ways i.e. generate dynamic representations similar to the annual surveillance summaries CDC has published (example), though much more concise and aimed at the public. Conceivably, such reports should also be able to be auto-generated JIT based on some number of input parameters, so that the user could create a new report on an issue and population of interest to them. SOCIAL COST OF BEHAVIOR Compare relative treatment costs of health outcomes (e.g. lung cancer) from certain behaviors (e.g. smoking) in geographic regions with similar behavioral risk factor profiles. SAMPLE OUTPUTS We think these visualizations look pretty cool. US Health Care Spending : Who Pays?
