Objectives
1. Reduce asthma deaths.
* Due to the small number of asthma deaths in Duval County each year,
data is Statistically Unreliable (DSU) for computing single year rates
in the HP2010 age groups.
Years 1992 through 1999 were combined for generating a reliable crude
rate for the age groups 0 - 34, 35 - 64, & 65 + .
