How should we visualise inequalities in household wealth?
View this post on Hive: How should we visualise inequalities in household wealth?
I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!
I'm not in favour of all singing, all dancing infographics (just because you can, doesn't mean you should); but sometimes you do need two or three ways of looking at and exploring the data to understand what it means.
My most recent favourite is the ONS definition of "recent internet user" which turns out to be anyone who has used the internet once in the past three months. This is being interpreted in some quarters as "x% of people use the Internet and as the rationale for "self-service internet based council services". Of course, the idea is to reduce the cost of council services in general and face to face services in particular. However, it all went Pete Tong when the carers' "self service portal" was launched: telephone traffic increased seven-fold. All because of inaccurate assumptions about the underlying data.
Any help you can give me about how to track down the prevalence of late onset (ie adult) asthma over a particular time period in a particular area would be gratefully received 😊
That really does sound like a case of just using some inappropriate data to justify a cost cutting decision that had already been made.
There must be some kind of NHS portal you can access to get that health data surely?
There's the public health observatory - wading my way through is where I'm struggling.
I'm afraid I can't help you with the specifics! Isn't there someone you can email?
