Notes

  • Race/ethnicity groupings for cancer related indicators are not mutually exclusive. The White, Black and Asian race categories include Hispanics and the Hispanic category includes all races.

  • Caution should be used when evaluating hospital-related indicators by race/ethnicity because the quality of the information is less reliable.
