Description:
Abstract:
This data set contains 1970-1994 cancer mortality information for counties in the State of Florida. Included are death rates, number of deaths, confidence levels, and expected number of deaths for white males and white females for 20 cancers. The data are from a cancer mapping project in the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG).
Purpose:
These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Although these data have been processed successfully on a computer system at the U.S. Geological Survey, no warranty expressed or implied is made by the U.S. Geological Survey regarding the utility of the data on any other system, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Process_Description:
Data originally released by U.S. Geological Survey in 2000. Data was downloaded by GeoPlan in shapefile format from National Atlas website http://nationalatlas.gov/atlasftp.html in 2001. When received, the data was in the following projection: Geographic, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRD1980, Units: Decimal Degrees. The data was then clipped to the State of Florida, and projected to FGDL Albers HPGN.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.)Projected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) 2.)Extent set to the State of Florida 3.)Named changed from cancerp020 to canmor 4.)DESCRIPT item added on county name

Attribute_Definition:
This field was used to create the maps in the National Atlas of the United States and the Atlas of Cancer Mortality in the United States: 1950-94. It is the death rate excluding areas considered unstable by the National Cancer Institute. The rates are for cancer XXX (see table below) per 100,000 population for gender Y (see table below). The numbers are age-adjusted to the 1970 U.S. population. An area was considered unstable if (a) the observed number of deaths was less than 6; (b) the observed number of deaths was less than 12 and the rate was not significantly different statistically from the U.S. rate; or (c) the expected number of deaths was less than 6 and the rate was not significantly different statistically from the U.S. rate. XXX indicates the cancer to which the number applies, where: acc - All cancers bla - Bladder bra - Brain and other nervous system bre - Breast (only reported for females) cer - Cervix uteri (only reported for females) col - Colon eso - Esophagus kid - Kidney, renal pelvis, and ureter leu - Leukemia lgb - Liver, gallbladder, and other biliary tract lun - Lung, trachea, bronchus, and pleura nhl - Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma ora - Oral cavity and pharynx oth - Other and unspecified cancers ova - Ovary (only reported for females) pan - Pancreas pro - Prostate (only reported for males) rec - Rectum sto - Stomach ute - Corpus uteri and uterus not otherwise specified (only reported for females) Y indicates the gender to which the number applies, where: f White females m White males
