: Misuse of data: If it is true that a high percentage of people who suffered from the flu last winter drove a car during the week before they had flu symptoms, does it mean that driving a car causes the flu? We must apply a process to estimate the relationship of one thing to another. You would need to know the statistical relationship between a dependent item/variable (suffering from the flu) and the independent item/variable (driving a car). Using Data Correctly to Inform Action Hmmm…I have data, now how do I use it effectively?

Best Practices for Using Data Data to take action is a broader endeavor than just compiling numbers and looking at reports. “When you have mastered numbers, you will in fact no longer be reading numbers, any more than you read words when reading books. You will be reading meanings.” ‐ W. E. B. Du Bois Having data and charts is a lot like having books. We have what we need to get started, but now we get to dig in and read the story. It is in that process that the story begins to shape our understanding, broaden our view, and inspire us toward meaningful action. We would not appreciate going to the doctor only to get readings and test results, but come away with no prescription or plan of action.
