Geographic Characterisation of Children's Health and Wellbeing through Vulnerability Indices Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and K-Means Clustering

Using Australian children as a case study, this paper aims to develop vulnerability indices to characterise the health and well-being of children aged 0-5 years old. The indices are used to identify differences in children's health and well-being across geographic regions and identify clusters of regions with similar characteristics. The approach is underpinned by two well-known statistical methods, namely Principal Component Analysis and K-Means Clustering. The identification of these regions with similar vulnerability characteristics can then be used to derive new insights into drivers of children's health and well-being and support improved decision-making for services in Australia.

Guidelines for the Creation of Analysis Ready Data

Globally, there is an increased need for guidelines to produce high-quality data outputs for analysis. No framework currently exists that provides guidelines for a comprehensive approach to producing analysis ready data (ARD). Through critically reviewing and summarising current literature, this paper proposes such guidelines for the creation of ARD. The guidelines proposed in this paper inform ten steps in the generation of ARD: ethics, project documentation, data governance, data management, data storage, data discovery and collection, data cleaning, quality assurance, metadata, and data dictionary. These steps are illustrated through a substantive case study that aimed to create ARD for a digital spatial platform: the Australian Child and Youth Wellbeing Atlas (ACYWA).
