Data for objectives 10-2a and b, 10-3a through d, 10-4a, and 10-6a through i are unavailable or not applicable. Objectives 10-1e and g, 10-3e through p, and 10-7 were deleted at the midcourse.
Years in parentheses represent the baseline data year and the most recent data year (if available).
Disparity from the best group rate is defined as the percent difference between the best group rate and each of the other group rates for a characteristic (for example, race and ethnicity). The summary index is the average of these percent differences for a characteristic. Change in disparity is estimated by subtracting the disparity at baseline from the disparity at the most recent data point. Change in the summary index is estimated by subtracting the summary index at baseline from the summary index at the most recent data point. See Technical Appendix for more information.

Disparity from the best group rate at the most recent data point. | Less than 10 percent or not statistically significant | 10-49 percent | 50-99 percent | 100 percent or more | ||||

Changes in disparity over time are shown when the change is greater than or equal to 10 percentage points and statistically significant, or when the change is greater than or equal to 10 percentage points and estimates of variability were not available. | 10-49 | 50-99 | 100 or more | |||||

Availability of data. | Data not available. | Characteristic not selected for this objective. |
* The variability of best group rates was assessed, and disparities of ≥ 10% are statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Changes in disparity over time, noted with arrows, are statistically significant at the 0.05 level. See Technical Appendix. † Measures of variability were not available. Thus, the variability of best group rates was not assessed, and the statistical significance of disparities and changes in disparity over time could not be tested. See Technical Appendix. 1 Data include persons of Hispanic origin. |
