  • Description:
    Effective health planning obviously requires the use of reliable data and sound statistical methodology. These statistical notes are designed to help agencies fulfill these requirements by providing the methodology for using existing data available from Federal programs in an easily accessible and easily updated format. Each note will be devoted to one topic so that all essential information on that topic will be together. It will be as complete as possible in itself without unnecessary duplication of other materials being sent to the planning agencies. For example, the statistical note may state that an age-adjusted rate should be used but will refer to another publication which contains a detailed explanation of precisely how to do the required computation. statnthp01acc.pdf
