HD*Calc -- Health Disparities Calculator
The HD*Calc software is now available on the SEER Web site: http://seer.cancer.gov/hdcalc
The Health Disparities Calculator (HD*Calc) is a statistical software designed to generate multiple summary measures to evaluate and monitor health disparities (HD). HD*Calc was created as an extension of SEER*Stat that allows the user to import SEER Data as well as with other population based health data such as National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS), and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
HD*Calc can be used to produce summary measures of disparity. Cancer rates and other data categorized by disparity groups can be used with HD*"Cal to generate output that can be presented in both tabular and graphic formats. Several of the measures included in HD*Calc are not commonly used to evaluate cancer-related health disparities. An important function of HD*Calc is to facilitate use of a range of HD measures so that researchers can explore their utility in different situations.
The HD*Calc Website also includes a set of tutorial exercises athttp://seer.cancer.gov/hdcalc/
