Assessment Task
In this assessment, you will apply an informatics tool to visualise results from a data set and explain the interpretation from a public health perspective in a 2–3 min presentation and a 2000 (±10%) word report excluding references.
Context
The assessment prepares health professionals to better understand how to visualise/interpret data using a tool in order to inform professional decision-making in the public health context.
Instructions

Step 1: Go to this World Health Organization (WHO) link to review the tool. WHO. (2021). About SCORE. https://score.tools.who.int/about/
Review the information, tools and visualisations available via this link.
Step 2: Navigate to this link:
WHO. (2021). SCORE dashboard. https://www.who.int/data/data-collection- tools/score/dashboard#/
WHO’s SCORE (Survey, Count, Optimise, Review, Enable) dashboard enables you to make comparative analysis for different countries using a map visualisation based on multiple parameters. The data was gathered using these steps: survey population and health risks; count the number of births, deaths and causes of death; optimise health service data; review progress and performance; and enable data use for policy and action.
Undertake a comparative analysis for two (2) selected countries or two (2) regions, based on at least 3 parameters. If you are comparing two countries, ensure that they are similar in demographic profiles and health systems (e.g. they both have universal health care). Take screenshots of the process (screen-by-screen to show how you chose and compared) indicating what you did (choice of data for comparison, parameters, etc.).
Prepare a pre-recorded video presentation using the screenshots incorporated into PowerPoint slides and recorded using Zoom or Kaltura.
Step 3: Write an analytical report (2000 ±10% words).
Structure of the report
1. Introduction (500 words)
• Introduce and summarise the SCORE tool and its use.
• State your query from the tool – What are you looking for? – with a rationale for selecting the chosen parameters and how these will work together to answer your query.
• Summarise the process of generating a comparison in a paragraph (from Step 2).
Screenshots of the process undertaken to generate the comparisons (Step 2) can be used in this section, drawn as appropriate from the PowerPoint slides and screenshots (as relevant) in the section as figures, tables OR as appendices.
2. Analytical Discussion (1300 words)
• Document the country or region comparisons. Describe your findings in detail. What did you find when comparing the 2 countries or regions? Interpret each finding through the chosen parameters.
To validate and enhance your work, use resources from these pages.
