Trends-at-a-Glance |
|
The Trends-at-a-Glance offers an overview of trend direction measure by measure. Trends noted as stable or NSC (non-significant change) are not changing significantly. The difference between "stable" and "NSC" is based on statistical computations described in the Methodology for Characterizing Trends appendix.
The table below provides a snapshot of recent trends (as characterized by the Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC)) for measures included in this report. A light green background indicates that the recent trend is moving in the desired direction. A light red background indicates that the recent trend is not moving in the desired direction. There is no background color for trends that are stable or show a non-significant change in direction. The column labeled “Recent trend time period” shows the dates associated with each trend. These dates depend upon the recency of available data.
Click on any Trend in the "Recent Trend" column to read more about the measure. For a more complete summary of the measures, including their progress compared with the Healthy People 2020 target (where one exists), see the Summary Tables by topic.
