MEASURES OF MORTALITY Susan D. Stewart, University of Richmond Purpose: The goal of this assignment is for you to calculate, interpret, and evaluate basic demographic measures of mortality. Because we are in transition period (i.e., 2000 death data is not yet available), certain assumptions must be made. Foremost, we will assume that the number of deaths in the U.S. is relatively stable from year to year. Thus we will use 1997-1999 deaths (the most recent mortality data available) as rough estimates of the number of deaths in 2000. This project is the second component of a semester long demographic profile of a state in the United States. Data Needs*: 1997-1999 Vital Statistics Data (deaths/births) 1997-1999 Deaths in 10-year age groups, by sex (male/female) and race/ethnicity (white/minority) 1997-1999 Total deaths by cause by sex (male/female) and race/ethnicity (white/minority) 1997 Total infant deaths (under 1 year), by race (white/black) 1997 Total births, by race (white/black) 2000 Census Data (population) Population in 10-year age groups, by sex (male/female) and race/ethnicity (white/minority) *All data pertain to your assigned state. 10-year age groups include 25-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 65-84, 85+. See attached instructions to download your data. Instructions: Calculate the following rates (to 3 decimal places) and answer the accompanying questions. Show all data and calculations. Calculate the Crude Death Rate (CDR) for the white and minority populations of your state. Interpret these rates. What do the data suggest about your minority versus Whites’ risk of death? In an Excel spreadsheet (hand in to me), calculate Age Specific Death Rates (ASDRs) by race/ethnicity and sex for your state (i.e., white males, white females, minority males, minority females). Interpret these rates. What patterns do you observe? If the CDR you calculated above lead you to a different conclusion with respect to a race differential, how do you account for these findings? Calculate the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) for Whites and Blacks in your state. Interpret these rates. What racial differences do you observe? Can you speculate as to some potential factors that may help explain these results? 35
