Data Note(s)


FLHealthCHARTS.gov is provided by the Florida Department of Health, Division of Public Health Statistics and Performance Management.

Data Source: Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Early Steps and Newborn Screening

  • Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.

  • Multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.

  • Quartiles are calculated when data is available for at least 51 counties.

  • MOV - Measure of Variability: Probable range of values resulting from random fluctuations in the number of events. Not calculated when numerator is below 5 or denominator is below 20, or count or rate is suppressed. The MOV is useful for comparing rates to a goal or standard. For example, if the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is less than the MOV, the county rate is not significantly different from the statewide rate (alpha level = 0.05). When the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is greater than the MOV, the county rate is significantly different from the statewide rate. MOV should not be used to determine if the rates of two different counties, or the county rates for two different years, are statistically significantly different.

  • Denom - abbreviated for Denominator.

  • Population estimates are not available for persons whose county of residence is unknown. Given this, the denominator and associated rate are not available.

  • * - Indicates the county rate is statistically significantly different from the statewide rate.

  • 2014-2016 data was last reviewed on 12/20/2017
  • 2017 data was last reviewed on 1/2/2018
  • The sum of the counties may differ from the total if clients were served in multiple or unknown counties.
  • Early Steps families receive Individualized Family Support Plans that are designed to meet identified outcomes for an individual child and family.
  • Denominator is the number of referrals to Early Steps within a single fiscal year. Percent is the percent of referrals determined eligible. Prior to SFY 2017-18, the denominator is the entire Early Steps child population – includes children continuing to be served from previous SFYs, children who exited but were active at some point during the current SFY, children referred who were determined eligible, children referred who were determined not eligible, children referred who have yet to complete the eligibility determination process.
  • This is primary, quantitative data.
  • Blank columns within the 10 year report indicate that data is not available.
  • Data are for fiscal year July-June 30.
