# Direct Education Demographics

#### Filters

**Applied Filters**

* **Viewable records** — Only Program Activities the current user has permission to view are included.

**Non-Applicable Filters**

All standard Program Activity filters are supported by this panel, including session date range.

#### Calculations

1. PEARS retrieves all viewable Program Activities that match the current dashboard filters.
2. Demographics data is pulled from the program demographics records associated with each matching program.
3. Four charts are generated, each summing the relevant demographic fields across all matching demographics records:
   * **Gender** — Female, Male, Non-Binary, Prefer Not to Respond, Other/Unknown.
   * **Age** — Age group categories as defined by the organization.
   * **Race** — American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Black/African American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, White, Two or More Races, Prefer Not to Respond, Unknown.
   * **Ethnicity** — Hispanic/Latino, Non-Hispanic/Latino, Prefer Not to Respond, Unknown.
4. Each chart displays the data as proportional segments.

#### Additional Notes

* On the User Dashboard, this panel displays as bar charts instead of pie charts.
* Demographic categories with zero participants are excluded from the display.
* Hover over a chart segment to see the category name, count, and percentage.
