New data! Data updated for cancer incidence indicators from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) State Cancer Profiles database.

Data for survey years 2006-2010 acquired from the NCI and CDC State Cancer Profiles website (replacing data for survey year 2005-2009). Confidence intervals now available for data through the map interface. Affected indicators:

Health Outcomes

  • Breast Cancer Incidence
  • Cervical Cancer Incidence
  • Colon and Rectum Cancer Incidence
  • Lung Cancer Incidence
  • Prostate Cancer Incidence

Correction made to reported data for Lack of Prenatal Care indicator data. (CA Only)

Indicator data has been changed due to a discrepancy between the way in which ZIP code and county-level prenatal care data is reported from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
For this indicator, service area summaries are based on ZIP code-level birth statistics. ZIP code level data on prenatal care are acquired from the CDPH 2010 Birth Profiles by ZIP Code databases, which report the number of mothers receiving prenatal care by trimester. Late or no prenatal care was previously reported as “mothers receiving care after the first trimester, or not at all”. County and state level summaries were, however, based on the CDPH Birth Statistical Data Tables (County Data) and Birth Statistical Data Tables (Statewide Data) tables. These tables were used to better capture true county estimates, since ZIP codes do not necessarily correspond to county boundaries. These tables only report one category of prenatal care: “Late or No Prenatal Care”. According to the footnotes, this category only captures mothers beginning prenatal care in the third trimester, or not at all.
To align the ZIP-based service area summaries with the county and state level summaries, prenatal care data is now reported for all geographic levels as mothers beginning prenatal care in the third trimester, or not at all.

New maps and data now available for three indicators from the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP).
