Introduction n Why federal web resources? n What types of statistics are available? n What methods are used for gathering statistics? n What does the data look like?

Why federal web resources? n Government sites have a strong web presence. n Agencies at all levels generate statistics. n Statistical information widely available on the World Wide Web. n Public domain & easy to acquire.

Types of Statistics n Raw numbers n Percentages n Rankings n Probabilities

Methods for Gathering & Calculating n Censuses n Surveys/Questionnaires n Panels n Tests n Experiments

What does the data look like? n Full-text n Abstracts n Citations n Graphs, tables, charts

Federal Sources You Should Know n FEDSTATS n MMWR Weekly Report n National Center for Health Statistics n U.S. Bureau of the Census

Why should I know these sites? Evaluation Criteria: n Currency of information n Methods clearly explained n Usability of the web site n Additional software required?

FEDSTATS

FEDSTATS n What is the incidence of the common cold? n What are the 10 leading states reporting the highest # of AIDS cases among residents? n What is the percentage of children under age 18 in very good or excellent health by poverty status?

MMWR Weekly Report

National Center for Health Statistics

National Center for Health Statistics n What is the number of Americans estimated to be 65 years of age and over in 2030? n What do trends indicate about expectant mothers and smoking? n In 1997, what was the average length of hospital stay for patients with HIV?

U.S. Bureau of the Census n What is the number of people under age 18 living in poverty in Salt Lake County, Utah?

Wrap Up: Web Searching Tips n Avoid search engines to locate statistics. n Use government agencies as starting points. n Search individual sites using terms: study, data, poll, report, survey, and research. n Narrow results being format-specific: figure, table, chart, graph, and caption.

Wrap Up: Web Searching Tips n Do not attempt to search for specific numbers. n Use “number-indicating” words: increase, decline, rise, fastest-growing, odds, and probability.
