How to Get the Most out of This Document

Category and Title: Instantly know what you're looking at, without returning to the table of contents

The most current value available for this indicator
Georgia's rank among the states. Lower numbers are always better.
Fast Focus: Quickly know if an indicator is getting better or worse.
Sources used to create this chart

Trends were tested for statistical significance. An indicator is getting "better", "worse" or has remained "flat" (hasn't changed significantly)

Remember:
1. "Low score is the winner" (think of golf scores) when it comes to state rankings. The closer Georgia is to 50th, the worse our problem is compared to the other states.
2. Check the "Fast Focus" first to know which direction is better or worse, from a public health perspective.
3. Rate measures (per 1,000 / per 100,000) may be suppressed if the number of events is too small to generate a meaningful rate. In this document, it will be noted in maps with the term "small numbers".
