Using the data provided, report the overall; age-group specific, and race specific incidence and
crude mortality rates for hepatitis in US in 2018 and 2019.
a. HINT 1: Calculations MUST BE RACE AND AGE-SPECIFIC for each year – 2018 and 2019. Use the
data given you to obtain an overall value for white, and an overall value for non-white, and
then for the respective age-groups for each of the calculations listed above.
b. HINT 2: Show all of your calculations, including the four steps required for complete marks for
each calculation (see Week 2 lecture notes) in an Appendix. An appendix is your supporting
documentation that will go at the end of your assignment and will not count as part of the page
limit.
c. HINT 3: Create a table to display the incidence and mortality by race and age-group.
4 steps
To get full marks on calculations
1. Provide the original equation in full (measure being calculated,
numerator, denominator, and multiplier as applicable)
2. Insert relevant values into numerator and denominator
3. Provide the final value to at least 1 decimal place (e.g., 42.3)
4. Write a concluding sentence that includes the unit (e.g., per
1,000 persons), and the population, location, and time period
as applicable
* Note that the multiplier (e.g., x 1,000 or x 10,000) will be supplied
