Eg. an indicator like doctors per 1000 does not take into account the quality of healthcare received. ]]> 2021-09-16 03:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744748806 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744774892 I think that HALE , health adjusted life expectancy is effective as it is a composite indicator which measures age and sex specific health data as well as age and sex specific mortality data. It includes all ages in the demographic as well as genders. It covers the whole population and measures the health of a population as a whole, and measures it on a regional/national scale]]> 2021-09-16 03:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744774892 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744774966 i think HALE is the best indicator because it considers the diseases that people have, and how much it decreases the lifespan of the population. Other indicators, such as infant mortality rate, is too specific to one demographic, and doesn't give us a holistic impression of a country. ]]> 2021-09-16 03:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744774966 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744775374 HALE is the most effective as it takes into account a variety of factors such as age, gender, data and mortality data. 
It not only measures quantity but quality of life as well.]]> 2021-09-16 03:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744775374 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744775558 In my opinion, HALE is the most effective indicator. This is because it considers many factors when calculating the overall score. It also considers quantitative and qualitative factors which means it considers the quality and quantity of life. other indicators such as maternal/infant mortality are not composite and are just qualitative. ]]> 2021-09-16 03:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744775558 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744777596 Probably hale because it not only shows quantity but also quality of life and may give indicators of specific groups of people in a given population living with disease. also unlike others it takes into account all of the population regardless of age gender like infant mortality or maternal mortality]]> 2021-09-16 03:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744777596 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744777600 I believe HALE is the most effective as it takes into account both quantity and quality of life and weighs in health status and also takes into account of people living with disease. Whereas, other indicators such as maternal mortality rate only focuses on one aspect and doesn't take into consideration of other things.]]> 2021-09-16 03:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744777600 task23 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744777863 I believe that HALE is the most effective because it takes into account more than one indicator in order to health. It also uses sex specific data as well as age- specific data.]]> 2021-09-16 03:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744777863 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744778109 I believe that HALE is the most effective as unlike life expectancy which considers all years, HALE weights the year of life by health status. Furthermore, it measures both the quantity and the quality of life. ]]> 2021-09-16 03:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744778109 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744778140 I think that access to sanitation is the most effective indicator because it has strong correlations with other indicators like access to clean water and level of healthcare, plus it is one of the easier ones to quantify and set goals for (e.g. raise access to 95% of population). However, it doesn't account for regional disparities or the quality.]]> 2021-09-16 03:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744778140 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744780004 I believe that Sanitation is the best indicator bec]]> 2021-09-16 03:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744780004 https://padlet.com/list4/65h4bh0tmjmhdn5h/wish/1744780434 I think HALE is the most effective indicator, because it not only takes into account the avg lifespan but also the avg health-span of a population.
