The Vermont Information for Community Assessment (VICA)
system is an interactive system that allows you to query for Vermont
resident information
from various birth, death and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)
datasets and to obtain results in a table.
Either of the links (Death/Birth) below will take you to a table
definition page, where the variables for the table rows and columns can be selected. Some
of the variables are: cause of death, birth condition, year of occurrence, age, gender,
race, and county of residence. Once the basic table structure is selected, you may easily
constrain the variables to select the specific information desired. Clicking on table headers
will open additional tables to show more detailed data on that category.
Age-adjusted and
age-specific rates and row or column percentages may also be displayed at your option.
Once the data table is created, you can download the data as Comma Separated
Variable (CSV) files for use in other applications such as
Microsoft Excel, to produce a chart or graph.
Definitions and documentation for each data set can be found by clicking on the
Definitions/Documentation tab at the top of the appropriate table definition page. If you
need further assistance creating tables, click on the Tutorial/Demo tab at the top of the
page to access a tutorial applicable for all Missouri Information Community Assesment (MICA)
based query systems, including VICA.
Death data, by county, is currently available:

At the top of the Vermont BRFSS page, you will find a link for "Documentation"
which will take you to the CDC's web site where you will find complete explanations for
Behaviorial Risk Factor Surveillance Surveys.
