1. Injury-Related Mortality, 1990-1999
The first-ever analysis of injury-related mortality in Minnesota. View the mortality databook, which reveals striking disparities by racial/ethnic group, gender, age, and rural/urban residence. Want to get coverage in your own area? Note the county-by-county tables, and use the information to supplement and rewrite the statewide news release for your local media. Yes, the databook is a lot to digest. To summarize and highlight the data, we created a factsheet. For a printed copy, contact us.Top of Page
