Definition and Source

PROVIDER

Definition

The three-year average number of deaths to teens ages 15 to 19, and the rate is per 100,000 youth ages 15 to 19. An "S" indicates the average count for the three-year period was fewer than 2, so no rate is listed. Rates are suppressed to maintain reliability.
