COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS 2023: ANALYTIC DATASET CODEBOOK - Non-standard measure variables

There are seven descriptive variables included for each row of data to identify what geographic area the data is for and additional information, such as if the county was ranked. [...] These measures and their corresponding variables are: • Primary care physicians (variable = v004_other_data_1), • Dentists (variable = v088_other_data_1), • Mental health providers (variable = v062_other_data_1), and • Other primary care providers (variable = v131_other_data_1) For these measures, the value reported for each county is a ratio of population:number of providers. [...] The analytic dataset includes both the rate (as the raw value variable), and the ratio (as the “other data 1” variable). [...] When a county has no reported providers (ratio = [population]:0), the value for the ratio variable is assigned to be the negative population value. [...] These measures are coded as: • v(measure ID)_race_aian for the American Indian & Alaska Native population estimate • v(measure ID)_race_asian for the Asian population estimate • v(measure ID)_race_black for the Black population estimate • v(measure ID)_race_hispanic for the Hispanic population estimate • v(measure ID)_race_white for the white population estimate If confidence intervals are availab.
