I’m working on a health & medical case study and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
1. What are the top three cancer for DALYs? Are these differ from one race/ethnic group to
another? What is the value of this information to the healthcare manager?
2. In which race/ethnic group are lung cancer DALYs the lowest? Describe the impact of
these results.
3. Which race/ethnic group has the highest DALY’s from prostate and liver cancer? How
can this information be used by a healthcare manager?
4. How much does stomach cancer contribute to DALYs in each race/ethnic group? Why is
this information important to the healthcare manager?
