Using This System
Compare related health measures together in one place using our library of health topics. Each health topic can be examined with multiple displays.
Choose your state using the selector above to highlight state values (certain displays will allow you to compare multiple states). Find definition and source details for each measure using the Information button. Remove measures from the display using the Hide button and return measures to the display using the Restore button at the top right.
