How to: Use the Double Map

Welcome to this PHIDU tutorial, where we will cover how to access and use the PHIDU Double Map template. The template allows the user to explore and compare the trends between two selected indicators with comparisons both geographically and statistically.

Our example in this tutorial focuses on the comparison between the participation rates in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, 2020 to 2021 and the Australian Bureau of Statistics produced summary measure of disadvantage, the Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD).

How to: PHIDU Data Portal

How to: Find a suburb or locality

How to: Produce a data profile of an area or group of areas

How to: Aggregate data to larger areas for a percent, IRSD and age standardised rate/ratio, and re-base age standardised ratio/rate

This PHIDU tutorial covers how to aggregate data to larger areas, to create a new aggregated percent, IRSD or age-standardised rate or ratio. This might be useful for creating statistics for a larger area that is specific to your project or council area for example. We will also cover how to re-base age-standardised ratios and age-standardised rates, which can be used to re-create rates based on your State or Territory, rather than on an Australian standard.
