Analysis and Findings The question looks into how many days in the past 6 months the person or their family members missed work or school because of an infectious disease. The data collected provides valuable insights into the frequency of absences. The responses reveal that the majority of respondents (30%) reported missing work or school once during the specified period. A similar proportion of respondents (32%) reported missing 2 to 3 times, while 29% reported missing more than 3 times. A smaller portion (10%) provided other responses, which were not specified. Overall, the survey highlights a significant number of absences due to communicable diseases in the past 6 months, with a range from occasional absences to more frequent occurrences. These findings indicate the potential impact of communicable diseases on work and educational attendance. It is worth noting that further analysis could provide additional context and insights into specific factors contributing to the frequency of absences. Nevertheless, the data underscores the importance of implementing measures to prevent and manage communicable diseases, such as promoting vaccination, hygiene practices, and workplace/school policies that support the health and well-being of individuals.
