Introduction (old readme)

We decided to do our first data analysis project on mental health as a broad topic. We chose to study mental health due to its importance in society overall, and for people as individuals. As residents of the Chicago area, we were particularly interested in seeing what the data says about the socio-economic environment which has shaped our lives.

Research Questions to Answer

  1. What can the data tell us mental health in Chicago?
  2. What does the data tell us about school and community safety in Chicago?
  3. Is there correlation between suicide/mortality rates and Hardship Index (composite score of unemployment, age dependency, education, per capita income, crowded housing, and poverty)?
  4. How are physical health factors (lead poisoning, pollution, diet & exercise) related to mental health factors (Behavioral health treatment, drug/alcohol rates)?
