Manitoba Child Health Atlas 2004 Community Resource Indicators

Manitoba Child Health Atlas 2004 December 2004 Manitoba Centre for Health Policy Department of Community Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba The entire report is available on this WWW site: http://www.umanitoba.ca/centres/mchp/reports/child_inequalities Community Resource Indicators: Rate of Family Services Programs for Low-Income Residents, by Winnipeg SES Group These graphs show a broad overview of the rate of Family Services programs offered in each Winnipeg NC. Family Services programs were obtained from the Winnipeg Child and Family Services Resource List and include programs such as anger management, children and teen support groups, clothing exchanges, community kitchens, moms/dads/womens/mens groups, parent- child programs, parenting programs, recreation for children and youth, and youth drop-ins. Although the Low SES neighbourhoods (shown here in red) have some of the highest numbers of these programs, when we look at this as rate per residents in the lowest income quintile, these neighbourhoods actually have the lowest rate. The Middle SES NCs (shown in light green here) as a group have the highest rate of family services programs per 1000 residents in the lowest income quintile. Because of the larger low income population, the Low SES areas would need a much larger number of programs than they have now to be able to reach the level of programs per low income residents in the Middle SES areas. program-fs_16DEC2004 Rate of Family Services Programs for All Residents, by Winnipeg NC, 2000 River East N (d) Seven Oaks N (d) Assiniboine South St. Vital S Fort Garry N St. Boniface E Inkster W (f) River Heights W St. James - Assiniboia W Fort Garry S (f) Transcona Seven Oaks W SES River East E High River East W Middle River Heights E Low-Mid St. Vital N Low St. James - Assiniboia E Seven Oaks E St. Boniface W Downtown W River East S Point Douglas N Inkster E Downtown E Point Douglas S 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 Rate per 1000 'd' indicates NCs for which data was not collected 'f' indicates NCs that have no Family Services programs program-fs_16DEC2004 Rate of Family Services Programs for Residents in the Lowest Income Quintile, by Winnipeg NC, 2000 River East N (d) Seven Oaks N (d) Assiniboine South St. Vital S Fort Garry N St. Boniface E Inkster W (f) River Heights W St. James - Assiniboia W Fort Garry S (f) Transcona value = 222 SES Seven Oaks W High River East E Middle River East W Low-Mid River Heights E Low St. Vital N St. James - Assiniboia E Seven Oaks E St. Boniface W Downtown W River East S Point Douglas N Inkster E Downtown E Point Douglas S 0 2 4 6 8 101214161820 'd' indicates NCs for which data was not collected Rate per 1000 'f' indicates NCs that have no Family Services programs program-fs_16DEC2004 These definitions can be found in the Child Health Atlas Glossary: http://www.umanitoba.ca/centres/mchp/reports/child_inequalities/glossary.shtml Income Quintile Programs Neighbourhood Cluster (NC) Socioeconomic Status (SES).

Indicator: Diabetes Incidence
Indicator: Diabetes Incidence DEFINITION: Incidence is expressed as the number of new cases of diabetes found during a specific period of time (e.g., over 1-year, 2-year or 5-year span) divided by the amount of time contributed by persons at risk of developing diabetes. Specifically, it is the average number of new cases of diabetes (Type 1 and 2 combined) in Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (the Region) residents aged 19 years and older per 100 person–years at risk as defined by either: • at least one hospitalization with a diagnosis of diabetes, or • at least two physician visits with a diagnosis of diabetes, or • at least one prescription for diabetes medication, with no previous claims for diabetes. NUMERATOR: Number of newly diagnosed diabetes cases (persons aged 19 years and older) in a specific time period (2004/05-2006/07 or 2009/10-2011/12). DENOMINATOR: The number of the Region’s residents aged 19 years and older at risk of developing diabetes (that is, residents with no previous claims for diabetes) in a specific time period (2004/05-2006/07 or 2009/10-2011/12). CALCULATION: Incidence was calculated for 2004/05–2006/07 and 2009/10–2011/12 and was age– and sex–adjusted to the Manitoba population aged 19 years and older in the first time period (i.e., 2004/05–2006/07 Manitoba population as the standard population for 2004/05–2006/07 and 2009/10–2011/12). DATA SOURCE: Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (MCHP), 2013 KEY FINDINGS: Diabetes incidence in the Region was lower than the Manitoba average.

Fortwhyte Alive Winnipeg Riverwatch Report Prepared with Student Data
FortWhyte Alive Winnipeg Riverwatch Report Prepared with Student Data: September 2017 – October 2018 Contact: Katrina Froese, Education Program Coordinator, [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION Thank you to all the schools that participated in Winnipeg Riverwatch sessions this fall! Our second fall session of Riverwatch is now complete, leaving us with some neat comparative results for some sites for fall 2017, spring 2018, and fall 2018 monitoring. Results indicated fair to good water quality for the rivers, streams, and ponds we tested, relative to expected values. Read on for descriptions and graphs of our findings, as well as Activity suggestions to further your learning with the data we collected. You can also view your findings at www.scecoinstitute.com under the Winnipeg Watershed section. RESULTS 1. Transparency and Turbidity Groups measured the transparency and turbidity of the water as two ways to understand how clear the water is. Water clarity is affected by the concentration of particulate, such as sediment or algae, as well as the presence or absence of dissolved substances in the water (e.g. dissolved organic carbon – think of tea-coloured water resulting from plant decomposition). The transparency tube allows us to use our eyes to determine the water clarity, while the turbidity meter allows us to press a button and get a reading of how much light was scattered off particles in the water, giving us a result in “Nephelometric Turbidity Units” or NTU. These values can help us to understand what is currently “normal” for the water body, and will enable us to notice changes in the future that may be “abnormal.” An increase or a decrease in clarity from the normal value can put stress on plants, fish and invertebrates.
