Week 1, you analyzed a pre-intervention elementary school asthma database from the perspective of a public health informatician. This week, you will review the data set in more detail and discuss the tools informaticians use. For the asthma data summary, you will use your Excel Spreadsheet and Pivot Table reports. You will then answer the following questions in the form of a 3–4-page summary statement that includes the data as well as an interpretation of the findings. The Pivot Tables need to be embedded in your report to explain the summary results.

What summary results do your pivot tables demonstrate about this grade school population of students? Use the following questions to prepare your paper.

  • Based on all four conditions and zip code, are the conditions evenly distributed among the survey population?
  • Does one school have more students in the affected zip codes and with all four conditions than the others do?
  • Summary:
  • Explain your data analyses results and describe what data quality assurances you applied to ensure your results are accurate.
