Data & Statistical Reports

Asthma

The Missouri Information for Community Assessment (MICA) system is an interactive system that allows anyone to create a table of specific data from various data files including births, deaths, hospital discharges and others.

The first page in MICA allows a person to choose the variables for the table rows and columns. Some of the variables are diagnosis, cause of death, birth condition, year of occurrence, age, gender, race, Medicaid status, and county or zip code of residence. Once the basic table structure is selected, the user may easily constrain the variables to select the specific information desired. Clicking on table headers will open additional tables to show more detailed data on that category. Age-adjusted and age-specific rates and row or column percentages may also be displayed at the user's option.

Once the data table is created, the user has the ability to download the data for use in other applications such as Microsoft Excel to produce a chart or graph. Instructions for downloading can be found by clicking on "Help - - Definitions" at the top of the first page of the MICA. Definitions of data, documentation of data and variable and issue information about data contained within the MICA can also be found here.

The user can also produce a map with counties/cities shaded according to user-defined criteria.
