Notes

Health data is presented in rolling averages due to small incidence numbers in some of the counties, making the trend data more accurate and comparisons across counties more significant.

*Use caution in interpreting; the estimate has a coefficient of variation > 30% and is therefore deemed unreliable by Utah Department of Health standards. Consider aggregating years to decrease the relative standard error and improve the reliability of the estimate. **The estimate has been suppressed because 1) The relative standard error is greater than 50% or when the relative standard error can't be determined. Consider aggregating years to decrease the relative standard error and improve the reliability of the estimate. 2) the observed number of events is very small and not appropriate for publication, or 3) it could be used to calculate the number in a cell that has been suppressed.
