Abstract

The development of the respiratory disease model calls for accurate data in regard to changes in average respiratory rates, access to relevant and comprehensive databases is vital. In the pursuit of finding such resources that can be useful for the city of Alexandria, Virginia as well as the broader Northern Virginia region, I have listed below some findings with potentially relevant information.

[...] Therefore, after carrying out the search and evaluation process, I have listed down the eight potential open data sources that could help in the development of a model addressing respiratory disease in Alexandria and Northern Virginia. Hence, incorporating the strengths of these various sources and recognizing the weaknesses each poses, this paper finds a way to develop a more efficient combined approach to generate informed respiratory health data for the population of the region.

[...] The first source of research I have used is the Virginia Department of Health's Respiratory Disease Data portal (Virginia Department of Health, 2021). The comprehensive resource captivates numerous pieces that create general awareness and information about different respiratory diseases such as asthma, influenza, and pneumonia. The information is obtained from local health districts and updated on an annual basis, providing information on the burden and rate of hospitalizations and mortality related to those conditions. More importantly, this source assists in the establishment of trends over time, hence enhancing a proper analysis of the respiratory disease in the region. [...]

[...] The reader must always bear in mind these invited limitations while making evaluation and interpretation of the data. However, by combining all these open data sources, one will be able to get a complete picture of respiratory disease in Alexandria and Northern Virginia. Using data obtained on the incidence of the disease, air quality, living conditions, and risk factors, it is possible to create a solid model for the development of targeted sanitary and quarantine measures and the generation of policies.
