Asthma Atlas for local state and territory breakdowns (PHIDU 2019) – NOT ACCESSIBLE
AA commissioned the PHIDU team to create an Asthma Atlas with prevalence, AAP ownership, hospitalisations, and deaths. It breaks the data down by Commonwealth Electorate Divisions (CED), Population Health Areas (PHAs) and Statistical Area 3 (SA3).
The link to the left takes you to an online atlas.
The data is modelled using 2016/17 hospitalisation data which is not the most updated national or state/territory level data we have. However, this is very useful if you need data broken down by a local level.
Note (Feb 2024): this link is not accessible anymore, and PHIDU has updated their Social Health Atlas maps with the following asthma-specific data: Census 2021 data (for prevalence), asthma hospital admissions 2020/21; asthma potentially preventable hospitalisations 2020/21.
Previous releases of the PHIDU including NHS 2017/2018 prevalence data (2021 release) can be accessed at: https://phidu.torrens.edu.au/social-health-atlases/data-archive/data-archive-social-health-atlases-of-australia
