Publications Rating System
Our publications vary in the depth of information and technical terms used, so we developed this Publication Rating System to help you match the publication to your technical level. This system identifies our online publications by level of technical content using a code similar to the one used to rank ski slopes -- easy to more difficult. A glossary and summary can usually be found in our more technical publications. If you need help deciding which publication to choose, please visit our FAQ page.

Contains general information on vital events, health data and simple descriptive
statistics.
