Prevalence
• Prevalence of each group within the community.
• What does ‘prevalence’ mean?
• Prevalence is a statistical term used to indicate how common a
particular condition, disease or characteristic is within a group or
community. In this instance, we use prevalence to refer to how
many people with specific characteristics are within a community.
• For example – How many people are homeless within Australia?
