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.

Correction made to age-adjusted rates for cancer mortality sourced from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) database.
Age-adjusted mortality rates for malignant neoplasm (cancer) have been corrected. The previous version of this indicator reported age-adjusted mortality rates as the mean of the 95% confidence interval values reported for each county. This error affected the age-adjusted mortality rates for the total population for all counties with less than 100 total deaths, approximately 480 counties. Other population groups (by gender / race-ethnicity) and other causes of death were not affected. Affected indicators:
Health Outcomes
- Cancer Mortality
