*Each jurisdiction’s submitted data underwent a cleaning and error check process. Jurisdictions reporting ≥20% of total infants receiving diagnostic testing in the “unknown” category, for each demographic variable, were excluded from this analysis.
ǂPercentage of infants enrolled in Part C EI services for each category is calculated among the total number of infants with hearing loss (i.e. % Males Enrolled in Part C EI After Diagnosed with Hearing Loss = ( # Total Enrolled in Part C EI: Male / # Total with Hearing Loss:Male ) * 100 ). Test for significant difference between percentages was calculated using Pearson’s chi-square test where α = 0.05 (Software: SAS 9.4, Cary, NC).
