It is the statistical study of human populations.
Demography
It examines the size, structure, and movements of populations over space and time.
Demography
It is useful for governments and private businesses as a means of analyzing and predicting social, cultural, and economic trends related to population.
Demography
refers to how people are distributed in a specific geographic location.
Spatial distribution
refers to the number of people in a given place or area at a given time.
Population size
It is when the population is characterized in relation to certain variables such as age, sex, occupation or educational level.
Population composition
Source of Demographic Data where data that have not been gathered before and are collected by the nurse through observation (ocular/windshield survey and participant observation), survey, informant interview, community forum, and focus group discussion.
Primary Data
- Observation
- Survey/Census
- Informant interview
- Community forum
- Focus group
Type of primary data where it measures official and periodic enumeration of population.
Survey/Census
Demographic, economic & social data are cllctd from specified pop. group
Under Survey/Census: There are two ways of assigning people during census:
- De jure
- De facto
what method is done when during census, people are assigned to the place where they usually live regardless of where they are at the time of the census.
De jure
what method is done when during census, the people are assigned to the place where they are physically present at the time of the census regardless of their usual place of residence.
De facto
These are purposeful talks with either key informants or ordinary members of the community.
Informant interview
It consist of formal and informal community leaders or persons of position and influence such as leaders in local government, schools, and business.
Key informants
It is an open meeting of the members of the community.
Community forum
Differs from a community forum in the sense that it is made up of a much smaller group, usually 6-12 members only.
Focus group
Example: focus group of first-time pregnant women.
Are taken from existing data sources.
Sources consist of vital registries, health records and reports, disease registries, and census data
Secondary Data
Collecting Secondary Data Sources includes:
a. Vital Events Registry
b. Health Records and reports
c. Disease Registries
d. Census Data
responsible for office and field work primarily involving the collection, processing and dissemination of medical and demographic data obtained from vital statistics documents (births, deaths, fetal deaths, marriages and divorces).
Vital Events Registry
Is used to systematically evaluate patient progress and treatment outcomes, as well as to monitor overall program performance.
Health Records and reports
It is a major component of the network information source developed by the Department of Health (DOH) to enable it to better manage in nationwide health services delivery activities.
Field Health Services Information System (FHSIS)
It helps the local government determine public health priorities. Basis for monitoring and evaluation health program implementation. Likewise, a basis for planning, budgeting, logistics and unusual occurrence of a disease.
Field Health Services Information System (FHSIS)
It is defined as the number of individuals present in a subjectively designated geographic range, and is the most fundamental demographic parameter within a population.
Population Size
2 ways as how you determine the increase in the population resulting from excess of births compared to death
- Natural Increase
- Rate of Natural Increase
It is simply the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths occurring in a population in a specified period of time.
Natural Increase
