Priority health area (eg: Chronic Disease)
This text on the home page introduces each of the 8 main Atlas categories. It summarises what is included and outlines why this matters for women’s health and wellbeing. It introduces the social determinants of health (the systems and structures in society that may impact on women’s experience of health) in this area.
Indicator overview (eg: Arthritis)
The opening paragraph describes and introduces the indicator with a focus on the datasets mapped in the Atlas. It summarises the Victorian statewide statistics shown in the Atlas, including by sex, and over time.
Gender analysis (eg: for Arthritis)
Gender analysis seeks to recognise the ways in which gender roles, resources and perceptions impact upon women’s and men’s health. This section provides broader context for the indicator (is not specific to the data being mapped) and may expand on social and other determinants of health in relation to this indicator. The information is mostly specific to women and contains key messages only (is not intended to be comprehensive). Details of helplines and support agencies are included as relevant.
Measure description (eg: Number, Rate, %, Rank)
This defines (for each individual map) exactly what is being measured/shown. It includes the time period covered by the data, who the data relates to (eg: specific age groups), data processing details (eg: how rates are calculated), and notes to guide the user, such as inclusions or exclusions, and things to be aware of when interpreting the data.
Source/s: (eg: ABS Census 2021)
This specifies (for each individual map) the data supplier, the exact data source, the date published (if public) or the date of supply (if a custom data request).
Currency (eg: Jan 2020 to Dec 2021)
This states (for each individual map) the time period covered by the data.
