Infant Mortality Suppression Table
How to read this table:
The first table shows how the suppression
rules are used to identify the data elements that
are at the same level or at a lower level than a test
value. The second table lists the meanings of the
abbreviations used.
If the element in the left column
is a suppressed value (-999) then all the cells containing
an X that are in the same row will be suppressed.
The cells containing an X are at the same level or
at a lower level as the test value (the left hand
data element).

About Congressional District Boundaries:
On January 3, 2013, the 113th Congress began its session. The Census Bureau released the geographies for the new districts on January 7, 2013. The HDW is updating its reference data with the new geographies. In the interim, HDW will use the 112th Congressional District boundaries, which may affect geoprocessing assignments. Read more >>
Daily updates of the HPSA data will resume on March 29, 2013. If you have any questions, please contact CAPT Phil Budashewitz, Director, Division of Policy and Shortage Designation, Bureau of Clinician Recruitment and Service at pbudashewitz@hrsa.gov.
