AAMR is a mortality rate that has been statistically modified to remove the effect on mortality rates of different age distributions in different populations. The catalog has DMHAS data from 1999 to 2007. The catalog has CTDPH rate calculations since 1999 and CTDPH number of cancer deaths since 2009.
