**Selected    Natality Objectives by States**Data regarding selected Natality objectives of Healthy    People 2000 are available for States and the District of Columbia by race and Hispanic    origin in Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet format.  Data are included for Adolescent births    (surrogate measure for Healthy People 2000 objective 5.1) and 6 of 17 Maternal and Child    Health objectives (Healthy People 2000 chapter 14).

    Data are from the National Vital Statistics System, National Center for Health    Statistics.  Each file contains rates for all races combined, and separately for    Whites, Blacks, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and    Hispanics.  Data include single year rates and a 3-year average for the most recent    period.   Spreadsheets are available on the **CDC/FTP    server**.  Additional information about the file format and suppression    rules is given in the "README.TXT" file.

**Health Status Indicators by State**    In July 1991, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) introduced a set of Health Status Indicators that were developed in response to    Objective 22.1 of **Healthy    People 2000**. This objective responds to the need for health status data    that can be used by Federal, State, and local governments. The 18 indicators include    measures of health status and/or factors that put individuals at increased risk of disease    or premature mortality.

The Health Status Indicators are located in a group of    Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets. The spreadsheets contain State level data for each of the 18    indicators. These tables are available on the **CDC/FTP    server**. Additional information describing the file format is contained in the    "README.TXT" file.    

**Priority Data Needs by States**    In July 1991, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also introduced a set of Priority Data Needs    (PDNs) in response to Objective 22.1.    Although considered important for evaluating the health of a community, could not be    included in Health Status Indicators due to inadequate data availability limitations for    non-Federal jurisdictions. The most recent State-level Priority Data Needs are now    available on the **CDC/FTP    server** as a group of Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets. Additional information    describing the file format is contained in the "README.TXT" file.
