Injury Maps FAQs
  • What do the colors mean?
    If you choose a three-color option, red equals the 90th percentile and greater; blue equals the 75-89th percentiles; and white equals the lowest percentile.  Two other three-color options are green and grayscale.  The green option features green equaling the 90th percentile and greater, blue equaling the 75-89th percentiles, and white equaling the lowest percentiles.  The grayscale option features dark gray equaling the 90th percentile and greater, light gray equaling the 75-89th percentiles, and white equaling the lowest percentiles.
     
    If you choose a four-color option, than the map will be shaded by quartiles.  For this color scheme, red equals the 75th percentile and greater, blue equals the 50-74th percentile, gray equals the 25-49th percentile, and white equals the lowest percentiles. 

     
  • Why do I experience problems when I use my browser navigation buttons (such as "back" and "forward") with the map option pages?
    The technology application driving Injury Maps does not recognize browser navigation.  To avoid problems, use only the navigation located in the left sidebar of the Injury Map pages.
     
  • How do I obtain pre-printed maps?
    Pre-printed maps are not available in large quantities.  You may ask for less than 10 color maps by e-mailing NCIPC at cdcinfo@cdc.gov to ask for less than 10 color maps.
     
  • Are slides available?
    No, slides are not available at this time.
     
  • What bibliographic citation should I use?
    CDC. Injury Mortality Maps of the United States, 1989–1998. Atlanta, GA, 2001.
