County Health Rankings | 1/13/17 | -Year = 2014 -Can view data by state "The National Center for Health Statistics has produced model-based age-adjusted death rates for drug poisoning per 100,000 population by county and year. Briefly, two-stage hierarchical models were used to generate empirical Bayes estimates of county age-adjusted death rates due to drug poisoning for each year during 2002–2014. These annual county-level estimates “borrow strength” across counties to generate stable estimates of death rates where data are sparse due to small population size." |
