Query Builder for Query Module for National Toxic Substance Incidents - Victim Count

Overview

The purpose of Utah's National Toxic Substances Incidents Program (NTSIP) is to collect and analyze data related to toxic substance releases. NTSIP data provides needed information to create prevention activities, which can decrease injury and death as a result of a toxic substance incident. Knowing what kinds of toxic substances commonly exist in Utah, how and where they are released, and the effects they have on employees, responders, and the general public will create opportunities for improved policies, procedures, and training for a cleaner, safer environment. It can also assist first responders and local emergency planning committees in coordinating their response activities.

In 2009, the Hazardous Substances Emergency Events Surveillance (HSEES) Program ended and was replaced by NTSIP. This change reflects a more comprehensive approach to reducing risks from toxic substances.

Getting Started

Follow the steps to narrow your query and display your results. When you are done forming your query, click "Submit" at the at the bottom of the screen (last step) to get your query result.

  • First choose a coding scheme to use for age groups. Default is age adjustment age groups, all ages.

  • How to Specify Age Groups

    Enter whole numbers from 0 to 999.

    Use a hyphen to indicate a range of ages (e.g., "5-8" will includes ages 5, 6, 7, and 8).

    You may use greater than (>) and less than(<) symbols. An entry of (<1) yields all infants age 0 through 364 days.

    You may use a plus sign (+) to indicate all ages equal to or greater than (e.g.,"85+" yields all those aged 85 and over).









  • Would you like to include only males or only females in the results? Default includes both sexes.

  • Select victim categories

  • Select victim severity of exposure

To display a map, you must select Geographic Area in Display By (category) and None in Group By (series)

Primary group by field

Defines the data's primary grouping dimension. The primary grouping is required and also controls the ordering of the result's data rows. In MS-Excel and other graphing packages this is typically referred to as the the "dataset's category". If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this value/dimension is associated with table's "row" values. Others will refer to this value as the first "cross by" or the first dimension.

Optional secondary group by field

Defines the 2nd field (or dimension) to be used to group and aggregate values by. MS-Excel chart users will commonly refer to this as the dataset's "series" field. If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this field is associated with data table's value columns. Series group bys are optional. Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified.

Optional chart graph

Defines the optional chart graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified. All other charts will only work with a maximum of 2 group bys e.g. if the fixed group by exists then the series group by can NOT be used with charting or maps.
