Data notes:

a Vital Records: Information is extracted from birth, death and fetal death certificates. When percentages are calculated records with missing information for the indicator of interest are excluded from the calculation. Population based rates use population estimates provided by the US Census Bureau. ICD-10 codes are used for cause of death.

b Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System-SPARCS: Data on hospitalization are collected through the hospital inpatient discharge data system. Each hospitalization receives an ICD-9 code at discharge which indicates the primary reason for the hospitalization. Data are not available on events that did not result in a hospitalization, such as cases that were only treated in a hospital emergency room. Data refers to the number of hospitalizations and not to the number of individuals who have been hospitalized.

c Expanded BRFSS: All data relates to adults 18 years of age or older. The Expanded BRFSS was a telephone-based survey that collects information on self-reported health related behaviors. Between July 2002 and July 2003, the Expanded BRFSS was conducted in 38 localities (individual counties and county groupings) comprising the entire state.

** The standard population used for age adjustment was the 2000 US population.
