Treatment of Unknown Values: Unknown values (responses coded as "refused", "don't know", or system missing) were removed from the denominator when calculating prevalence estimates and weighted population counts displayed in the results tables. In nearly all cases, the number of unknown values is less than 1%; their exclusion does not impact the prevalence estimates (%) and only marginally affects the weighted population counts (Weighted Est.). Please contact CAHMI (cahmi@ohsu.edu) if you have further questions.
