Source: Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Bureau of Health Information, Statistics, Research, and Evaluation Ratio of Rates Used to Compare Outcomes of Blacks 1, Hispanics, And Asians 1 to that of Whites 1 Interpretation of ratio of rates and of its trend over time 1.Values of ratio of rates <1 rates are lower than that of whites =1rates are equal to that of whites >1rates are higher than that of whites 2.Where the observed ratio crosses the Y axis, it indicates the magnitude of the gap between a particular race and Whites, for a given outcome. 3.When the Annual Percent Change (APC) is statistically different from 0 (p<0.05) and: APC<0, this indicates that the gap (or ratio) is decreasing APC=0, this indicates that the gap (or ratio) is stable APC>0, this indicates that the gap (or ratio) is increasing 1. non-Hispanics
