Here are a couple of tips to help users access and utilize the information they'll find:​​

 

• If a data point reads "Suppressed," this means that there were fewer than 10 cases in a jurisdiction. Because of this, the exact numbers have been hidden to protect the patients' identities.
   

• Incidence and mortality rates are rates per 100,000 residents (e.g., HIV Diagnosis Rate)
   

• Numbers that are expressed as percentages represent the percentage of the population living with a given health issue
   

• The Pearson Correlation Coefficient shows the correlation between low literacy proficiency and a given health condition. Numbers range from -1.0 (a Perfect Negative correlation) to 1.0 (a Perfect Positive correlation). The closer the number is to -1.0 or 1.0, the higher the correlation between low literacy skills and the health condition.
