Trend Rising when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change is above 0. Stable when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change includes 0. Falling when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change is below 0. * Data has been suppressed to ensure confidentiality and stability of rate estimates. ** Data are too sparse to provide stable estimates of annual rates needed to calculate trend. 1 Healthy People 2010 Objectives provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2 Recent trend in death rates were calculated using the Joinpoint Regression Program and are expressed as the annual percent change over the recent trend period. Recent trend period is the period since last change in trend as determined by Joinpoint. Source: Death data provided by the National Vital Statistics System public use data file. Death rates calculated by the National Cancer Institute using SEER*Stat. Death rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1–4, 5–9, … , 80–84, 85+). The Healthy People 2010 goals are based on rates adjusted using different methods but the differences should be minimal. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI.			Export Data Make Map Interpret   Printable View
