contains the Age Adjusted Standard Hospitalization Ratios for hospitalizations in which asthma was the primary or related cause of hospitalization. Data are organized by town in five year increments, from 1989 to 2008. Missing data or suppressed values are coded as "-999". Note on ZIP Codes: The source data for this data set was maintained as a ZIP code based file. When this data set was entered into MassCHIP some ZIP Codes which cross city/town lines were proportionally mapped into cities/towns, resulting in fractional allocations of observations to the various geographies present in MassCHIP. For some smaller cities and towns these fractional allocations account for a significant proportion of the smaller city's total count and therefore renders that count a questionable estimate.</pre></dd></dl><dt><span class="element">Purpose</span></dt><dl><dd><pre class="wrap">Intended for health statistical reporting, analysis, and visual display.</pre></dd></dl></dl></dd><dt><span class="element">Time Period of Content</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Time Period Information</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Single Date/Time</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Calendar Date</span> August 2010</dt></dl></dd></dl></dd><dt><span class="element">Currentness Reference</span></dt><dl><dd><pre class="wrap">publication date</pre></dd></dl></dl></dd><dt><span class="element">Status</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Progress</span> Complete</dt><dt><span class="element">Maintenance and Update Frequency</span> Annually</dt></dl></dd><br /><dt><span class="element">Spatial Domain</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Bounding Coordinates</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">West Bounding Coordinate</span> -73.533350</dt><dt><span class="element">East Bounding Coordinate</span> -69.898477</dt><dt><span class="element">North Bounding Coordinate</span> 42.888351</dt><dt><span class="element">South Bounding Coordinate</span> 41.230341</dt></dl></dd></dl></dd><br /><dt><span class="element">Keywords</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Theme</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Theme Keyword Thesaurus</span> REQUIRED: Reference to a formally registered thesaurus or a similar authoritative source of theme keywords.</dt><dt><span class="element">Theme Keyword</span> REQUIRED: Common-use word or phrase used to describe the subject of the data set.</dt></dl></dd><br /></dl></dd><dt><span class="element">Access Constraints</span></dt><dl><dd><pre class="wrap">None</pre></dd></dl><dt><span class="element">Use Constraints</span></dt><dl><dd><pre class="wrap">Use of this dataset is subject to the constraints of the Terms of Use Agreement. http://library.silentspring.org/heis/license.asp</pre></dd></dl><dt><span class="element">Point of Contact</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Contact Information</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Contact Organization Primary</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Contact Organization</span> Silent Spring Institute</dt></dl></dd><dt><span class="element">Contact Position</span> Research Assistant</dt><dt><span class="element">Contact Address</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Address Type</span> mailing and physical address</dt><dt><span class="element">Address</span> 29 Crafts Street</dt><dt><span class="element">City</span> Newton</dt><dt><span class="element">State or Province</span> MA</dt><dt><span class="element">Postal Code</span> 02458</dt><dt><span class="element">Country</span> UNITED STATES</dt></dl></dd><br /><dt><span class="element">Contact Voice Telephone</span> 617-332-4288</dt></dl></dd><br /></dl></dd><dt><span class="element">Security Information</span></dt><dd><dl><dt><span class="element">Security Classification System</span> Public</dt><dt><span class="element">Security Classification</span> Unclassified</dt><dt><span class="element">Security Handling Description</span> No restrictions</dt></dl></dd><br /><dt><span class="element">Native Data Set Environment</span></dt><dd>Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3;
