Definition
Data should be interpreted with caution due to statistically unstable data. Children Now pooled four years of data for each reported year. Numbers and percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number. All data points should be considered statistically unstable (due to small sample sizes) except for the following:

Notes
Asterisks*
An asterisk indicates that data should be interpreted with caution. Asterisks were used to note low number of events (fewer than 10) or unstable data with large confidence intervals. Data or estimates with low numbers and large confidence intervals indicate that a data point may not be a true representation of the larger population.
NA (Not Available)
Data that are not available are noted as NA. The most frequent reasons for using the NA annotation include the unavailability of longitudinal data, data suppression from the original data source due to a low number event, or statistically unstable estimates.
