Data Notice/Alert
{{class RedText Change to IBIS Cell Suppression Rule:[[br]] Beginning August 13, 2016, the cell suppression rule for NM-IBIS queries was strengthened. This was done to better protect the identity of individuals represented in the datasets. As a result, you may see more suppressed cells in your data result (indicated by "**" in the results table). If you need data that you cannot get in using NM-IBIS, please contact the program that manages the dataset (see contact information in the footer of this page). }}Small Area Data
{{class GreenText For information on the New Mexico Small Area Methodology, please visit [http://ibis.health.state.nm.us/resource/SmallAreaMethods.html]. }}Update to Population Data
{{class BlueText The 2010-2015 NM-IBIS population estimates have been revised. Adjustments were made to population estimates for years 2010-2015. These new estimates were applied as population denominators for calculating rates in all NM-IBIS query modules at 3:54PM on October 12th. This change to population estimates will result in changes to any rates calculated for 2010-2015 that you may have previously run. You will need to re-run any trend data using the new population estimates.}}Getting Started
