Restrictions/conditions:

  • This features only effects queryable datasets loaded after the apply criteria feature is enabled.
  • When a new queryable dataset is loaded, this features does NOT clean/clear any of that dataset's default selected values - it simply supplements the newly loaded dataset's selections with those values captured when the apply criteria feature was enabled.
  • When in the builder interface you can override and make additional changes (select or deselect).
  • Changes made in the builder interface are not automatically saved to the enabled apply criteria definition. However, once you have a result you can reapply the current critera by using this dialog and pressing the "Reapply" button. If you do not see this button then the apply criteria feature has not been enabled.
  • Selections are applied according to what selections are available within that given queryable dataset. For example if your apply criteria is set for years 1999-2015 and the dataset does not have 1999 then only years 2000-2015 will be selected.
  • This feature is available immediately and does not require any user login account. However, if you wish to save this definition you will need to have either a free self registered user account or a secure DOH account and be logged in to be able to save your definitions.
  • TURNING OFF: These selections will remain in effect for the length of your current session on this site. It is turned off by pressing the "Clear" button.
  • TECHNICAL NOTE: The selection's internal dimension names and values MUST match. In some instances a value's title shown to the user will look the same as the dataset's but it is stored internally with a different name or value so they do not match and thus will not be selected. As an end user there is nothing that can be done about this situation because this is something the dataset author must setup. If you see something like this please contact us and report this issue.
) to all subsequent dataset query requests. This feature can help you save time and be consistent by automatically applying your defined selections to other queryable datasets you open.
For example, you may always prefer to display a county map and a horizontal bar chart. You would make those initial selections, submit your selections, and then click to apply this criteria feature. From that point on, those selections will be automatically applied to all subsequent queryable datasets you open when applicable.

Data Issue

'''Statistical Stability''' Relative standard error, or RSE, is the standard error expressed as a proportion of the point estimate. ''Stable'' is displayed when the RSE is 0.30 or less. ''Unstable'' is displayed when the RSE is 0.31-0.50. An unstable count or rate may fluctuate widely across time periods due to random variation (chance). ''Very Unstable'' is displayed when the RSE is greater than 0.50. A very unstable count or rate should not be used to inform decision making. '''Survey Sample''' The survey is conducted using scientific telephone survey methods. Both cell phones and land lines are included. Landlines in group quarters with a central phone system such as college dormitories, nursing homes, military barracks, and prisons are excluded from the sample; however, all adults contacted through their cell phones are eligible regardless of where they live. Results have been weighted to the noninstitutionalized adult population by age, sex, race, education, marital status, home ownership, telephone source (landline versus cell phone), and county of residence. See Data Release notes as the weighting has changed slightly over time. '''Average Annual Population Estimate''' The denominator includes all survey respondents ages 18 years and older except those with missing, don't know and refused answers. If the query was limited to a particular sub-population-group, only those respondents are included in the denominator. '''Asymmetric Confidence Intervals''' The confidence bounds are asymmetric. They do not extend evenly above and below the percentage, especially as the percentage gets close to 0% or 100%.
