[Futuregen] Data on health inequalities for the FUTUREGEN Data Navigator

[rodrigues at euro.centre.org]

Dear Stefan, dear Susan,

We are currently selecting indicators and data sources to start 
populating what will eventually become the FUTUREGEN Data Navigator that 
we promised in our proposal.
The aim is to have a pilot of the Navigator ready for our meeting in May 
so as to run it through the Sounding Board. For this we aim to have the 
design of the Data Navigator pretty much settled by then and about 10 
indicators (between health, care and determinants) ready and uploaded on 
the Data Navigator for the Sounding Board to test it.

In our proposal it was planned that Stefan would provide the data on the 
"time-series on health inequalities among the old, across cohorts and 
countries" from WP1. Based on this, Stefan, could you send us a proposal 
of what indicators and data sources on health inequalities and 
determinants (up to a maximum of 6 indicators) you could envision to 
include in this pilot version of the Navigator, please?
Ideally these indicators would already be part of the final list of 
indicators to include in the Navigator (i.e. we don't want to include 
indicators in the pilot that we would later scrap) and should be 
indicators whose data you would feel reasonably confident that you could 
send to us till the end of year so that we could upload this on the 
Navigator and start experimenting with the visualization.
Once you have pre-selected these we could run the definitions through 
Susan to see which data source to use for Canada.
Please let us know your thoughts about this. Thanks.

We are currently debating which indicators on care to include and (more 
difficult) which data sources to use that would better allow us to 
capture cohort evolution.
As soon as we have a proposal on these we will circulate these among you 
as well.


Looking forward to your reply!

Best wishes,
Ricardo
