databases can rapidly and flexibly accessed by computers to address a wide ranges of questions
risks of integrated databases to be abused: privacy of data and ensuring anonymous data collection
compilation of data to generate summary measurements of health of a group or population

population health status measures: measurements that summarize the health of populations
standards for summarizing health status of populations: infant mortality rate and life expectancy
under-5 mortality has become the standard measure used by WHO to summarize health of children
emerging mortality measures: years of potential life losst and excess mortality
Health-adjusted life expectancy: WHO measurement starts w life expectancy and then incorporates measurements of the quality of health

self-care
pain
mood
sensory organ function

Factors that affect how we perceive PH information
Dread effect: present with hazards that easily produce very visual and feared consequences ex. shark attacks
unfamiliarity effect: degree of familiarity w a potential harm or benefit can greatly influence how we perceive data ex. knowing someone with lung cancer
uncontrollability effect: may have a major impact on our perceptions and actions
ex. car accidents semm less hazardous than airplane crashes
decision analysis: relies on the vast info processing ability of computers to formally combine information on benefits and harms to reach quantitative decisions
types of info needed for health decisions
how likely?
how important?
how soon?
