Instructions: Using the direct approach for rate adjustment, calculate the crude, Income-specific, and income-adjusted mortality rates for the two communities. Round to the nearest tenth (l.e., one decimal place). Hint: You should fill in each of the blank spaces in the tables below. DIRECT RATE ADJUSTMENT-STEPS Calculate specific rates for each community. Calculate the crude death rates for each community. Create "standard" population. Add the population of Community A + Population of Community B for each specific grouping (stratum). Apply calculated death rates for each individual community (Community A and Community B) to the standard population. In this step, it will be necessary to solve for x. Sum (add) expected deaths at Community A's rates and expected deaths at Community B's rates. Calculate income-adjusted death rates for each community. X sum of expected deaths (step #5) Y standard population total Community A 16,000 Income ($) Population Deaths Rate (per 1000) $$24,999 Population Community B Deaths Rate (per 1000) 224 4000 72 $25,000-34,999 21,000 210 18,000 198 $35,000-44,999 28,000 224 34,000 238 $45,000-74,999 4000 24 27,000 135 $75,000 1000 5 13,000 52 Total Crude Mortality Rate for Community A Income-specific Death Rate In Community A (per 1000) Crude Mortality Rate for Community B Expected Deaths at Community A's Rate Income-specific Death Rate In Community B (per 1000) Expected Deaths at Community B's Rate Standard Population (Comm.
