Question 1. (M1.1) ( 1page

The video (found in the presentation above) on the Dayton opioid crisis presents data across all levels. As you watch the video, pull at least two types (nominal, ordinal, ratio) of data from the video. Explain how you determined the level of the data presented.

IND 503 M1.1 One Nation, Overdosed "Mass-Casualty" Event 47,600 Americans overdosed on opioids in 2017. That number equates to 67.8% of all overdose deaths. It signals a significant increase of 9.8% from 2016. West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C. witnessed the highest rates of opioid overdose deaths in that same year. Several other states experienced a significant increase in the number of people dying from opioid use. We all recognize these numbers as statistics. But, what do they actually mean? How do we use them to foster change? Let's begin by following the story that unfolded in Dayton, Ohio in 2017.

View the documentary above through that lens and consider the following: Not every city in the nation has been impacted by the opioid crisis, but many have. What are the characteristics of Dayton that you feel contributed specifically to the crisis in the area relative to your discipline? Assess the factors in the region or area in which you live. Without conducting any extensive research, do you feel your region or area has any of these same characteristics that might put your area at risk for an opioid crisis? Why or why not? To answer these questions, we need to understand and utilize descriptive statistics.
