Additional Information	Limitations: The BSCC makes every effort to screen the data submitted by each county for accuracy. Any data point that the county is unable to report will be indicated with a "U". Optional data fields left blank are not applicable. If a county does not submit data for the week, it will be indicated with "No Data Reported". Data Caveats: Individuals are strongly encouraged to review these data caveats and the Resources prior to viewing the data and drawing any conclusions from the data. · Values between 1 and 10 are reported as “<11”. This masking procedure is in accordance with public health de-identification guidelines to protect individual privacy. · Since the actual values are not available, data across counties cannot be summed to obtain statewide totals. Similarly, cumulative totals within a county are not calculated. · Due to the diversity of counties (e.g., resources, population, facilities), comparisons between counties should not be made. · Some counties are unable to report youth/inmate data at the facility-level. For these counties, the data are reported at the county-level.
