Malaria is a life-threatening disease that is both preventable and treatable. Transmitted by mosquitoes, it affects millions of people worldwide, especially young children in Sub-Saharan Africa. But there’s good news- due to treatment and prevention efforts, such as insecticide-treated mosquito nets and rapid diagnostic tests, incidence rates have been shrinking.<\/p>\n

In this article, you’ll use an adaptable workflow for quickly analyzing and visualizing your raster data<\/a> to find out how much malaria rates have decreased. Using data from the non-profit Malaria Atlas Project, you’ll analyze how malaria rates for children age 2 to 10 in Sub-Saharan Africa changed since 2000. After downloading the data, you\u2019ll use the Raster Functions analysis tool in ArcGIS Pro to calculate the change in malaria prevalence from 2000 to 2015. Then, you\u2019ll visualize malaria rates over time in Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

        Next, you\u2019ll analyze the change in malaria rates from 2000 to 2015. Because the data is in raster format, it is represented as pixels, or cells.

                Negative values represent areas that had a decrease in malaria rates while positive values indicate an increase in malaria rates. For example, 0.1 indicates that there was 10 percent increase in malaria among children from 2000 to 2015. These values were chosen to mirror Jennifer Bell’s malaria change app, shown above.<\/p>\n

                Because this data has a clear and important midpoint (0), it calls for a diverging color scheme. By showing positive change in one color and negative change in another color with a neutral middle color, the change is clear.<\/p>\n
