Package 'DEPAHRI'

Calculate indicator scores following DERI methodology

Description

As explained in the DERI Score Methodology:

Usage

calculate_score(var, inverse = FALSE)

Arguments

var	Vector containing the indicator to be scored (e.g., gp_dist_km)
inverse	Default is TRUE. Set as FALSE if higher value of the indicator indicates lower risk

Details

"For the DERI, the score for each indicator in each LSOA is given as a number between 0 and 10, where 10 indicates a higher level of digital exclusion risk. The score for each indicator aimed to show how far between the minimum and maximum indicator values the individual indicator value was for each LSOA located. This gives a value between 0 (the LSOA has the smallest indicator value, therefore indicating low risk) to 10 (the LSOA has the highest indicator value, therefore indicating high risk)."

The calculation used for each indicator (i) and each LSOA (j) in each district (k) is:

• For indicators for which higher value indicates higher risk: 10 x ((Value of indicator i for LSOA j in district k) - (Minimum value of indicator i across all LSOAs in district k)) / ((Maximum value of i across all LSOAs in district k) - (Minimum value of i across all LSOAs in district k))

• For indicators for which higher value indicates lower risk: 10 x ((Maximum value of indicator i across all LSOAs in district k) - (Value of indicator i for LSOA j in district k)) / ((Maximum value of i across all LSOAs in district k) - (Minimum value of i across all LSOAs in district k))

As a result, the direction of the scale of data inputted by the function does not necessarily match that of the data outputted, for which higher values will always mean high risk.

England DEPAHRI (Digital Exclusion and Physical Access to Healthcare Risk Index) Dataset

Description

A dataset mapping the difficulty of access to healthcare services, both physically and due to the risk of digital exclusion, across LSOAs in England.

Usage

england_lsoa_depahri

Format

A tibble (data frame) with 32,844 rows and 7 variables:

lsoa11_code

LSOA code

broadband_comp_national

DERI Broadband component (national level)

demography_comp_national

DERI Demography component (national level)

deprivation_comp_national

DERI Deprivation component (national level)

deri_score_national

DERI score (national level)

health_access_comp_national

Health access component (national level)

depahri_score_national

DEPAHRI score (national level)

Details

The DEPAHRI Index is building on the , an index of risk of digital exclusion across England, Wales and Scotland. Different DERI scores are calculated using the minimum and maximum values of indicators at different geographical levels. The DEPAHRI Index is calculated using national minimum and maximum values, so it uses DERI scores at the national level.
