Safe Drinking Water Facilities Information System for Pennsylvania 2018 - Current Environmental Protection

Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) is EPA’s national database that manages and collects public water system information from states, including reports of drinking water standard violations, reporting and monitoring violations, and other basic information. The data derived in the State of Pennsylvania is published and searchable online on the www.pa.gov website. This set contains the Water System Facility data, which will be updated annually for the prior calendar year in the first Quarter of the following year.

Delinquency Dispositions CY 2014 - Current By County as Reported by the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission

This dataset represents the total number of delinquency dispositions processed by Pennsylvania juvenile courts in 2018. A disposition is defined as an allegation of delinquency disposed of by the juvenile probation department and/or the court. This dataset is contained within the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission’s Calendar Year (CY) 2018 Juvenile Court Annual Report; this report provides an overview of Pennsylvania juvenile court statistics, during 2018, to measure and quantify work across the state by juvenile justice professionals. In Pennsylvania, juvenile court jurisdiction extends over individuals who have been alleged to have committed a delinquent act, as defined by 42. Pa. C. S. § 6301 et seq., on or after their tenth birthday and prior to reaching eighteen years of age. Juvenile court supervision can extend until the individual is twenty-one years of age if the individual is currently under supervision. Age for purposes of this section was calculated from the juvenile’s date of birth to the date of the offense in the written allegation. Any one youth may be involved in a number of dispositions within a calendar year containing multiple allegations. There were 22,023 delinquency dispositions in Pennsylvania during 2018. This represents a 1.3% decrease from 2017 and a 13.4% decrease since 2014. Allegheny County reported a decrease of 17.0% from 2017 to 2018, and Philadelphia County reported a 5.9% decrease for this time period. One-third of the total dispositions occurred in the four jurisdictions reporting more than 1,000 dispositions; these jurisdictions include Philadelphia, Allegheny, York, and Delaware.

Naloxone First Responder Program 2017 - Current County Commission on Crime and Delinquency

The Naloxone for First Responders dataset is based on data obtained from individual Centralize Coordinating Entities (CCEs) who have provided data to PCCD on a quarterly basis. CCE's provide naloxone to eligible first responders in their local community.<br> The data includes the number of kits of naloxone that were provided by CCEs to first responders in each county, the types of first responders who received those kits, the number of doses used by first responders in that county, and the number of overdose reversals in that county.

Count and Rate of Court Cases and Drug Court Participants Specifying Opioids in Pennsylvania CY 2016 - Current County Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts (AOPC)

This indicator includes the count and rate of the Courts of Common Pleas cases and PHILADELPHIA MUNICIPAL COURT cases with a conviction of offense code 35 P.S. § 780-113(a)(30) and a specified opioid drug per 1,000 court cases in the state of Pennsylvania as well as its counties. This offense code charges defendants with the manufacture or delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or delivery of unlawful substances. Other break downs include by gender and age group along with percentages where rate is not available. This indicator also includes the count and percentage of adult drug court participants with self-reported use of opioids from the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts (AOPC) online dashboard. Participants were counted as opioid related if the participant self-reported an opioid (heroin or opiates) as their drug of choice. Adult drug court data is aggregated to annual counts by state and county of jurisdiction as well as percentage of participants that successfully completed the program. The year displayed corresponds to the year the participant completed the program. It should be noted that it can take between one to two years to complete the program. Additional data on adult drug court participants for all drugs can be found on AOPC's Data Dashboard at: http://www.pacourts.us/news-and-statistics/research-and-statistics/dashboard-table-of-contents/adult-drug-court-data

Newly Identified Confirmed Chronic Hepatitis C Age 15-34 Year 2007-2016 Health

This data set provides an estimate of the number of people aged 15-34 years with newly identified confirmed chronic (or past/present) hepatitis C infection, by county and by year. The dataset is limited to persons aged 15 to 34 because hepatitis C infection is usually asymptomatic for decades after infection occurs. Cases are usually identified because they have finally become symptomatic, or they were screened. Until very recently, screening for hepatitis C was not routinely performed. This makes it very challenging to identify persons with recent infection. Limiting the age of newly identified patients to 15-34 years makes it more likely that the cases included in the dashboard were infected fairly recently. It is not meant to imply that the opioid crisis’ effect on hepatitis C transmission is limited to younger people. The process by which case counts are determined is as follows: Case reports, which include lab test results and address data, are sent to Pennsylvania’s electronic disease surveillance system (PA-NEDSS). Confirmation status is determined by public health investigators who evaluate test results against the CDC case definition for hepatitis C in place for the year in which the patient was first reported (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/conditions/hepatitis-c-chronic/). Reportable disease data, including hepatitis C, is extracted from PA-NEDSS, combined with similar data sent by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH, which uses a separate surveillance system), and sent to CDC. Case data sent to CDC (from PA-NEDSS and PDPH combined) are used to create a statewide reportable disease dataset. This statewide file was used to generate the dashboard dataset. Note that the term that CDC has used to denote persons with hepatitis C infection that is not known to be acute has switched back and forth between “Hepatitis C, past or present” and “Hepatitis C, chronic” over the past several years. The CDC case definition for hepatitis C, chronic (or past or present) changed in 2005, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2016. Persons reported as confirmed in one year may not have been considered confirmed in another year. For example, patients with a positive radioimmunoblot assay (RIBA) or elevated enzyme immunoassay (EIA) signal-to-cutoff level were counted as confirmed in 2012, but not counted as confirmed in 2016. Data sent to CDC’s National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System use a measure for aggregating cases by year called the MMWR year. The MMWR, or the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, is an official publication by CDC and the means by which CDC has historically presented aggregated case count data. Since data in the MMWR are presented by week, the MMWR year always starts on the Sunday closest to Jan 1 and ends on the Saturday closest to Dec 31. The most recent year for which case counts are finalized is 2016. Annual case counts are finalized in May of the following year. The patient zip code, as submitted to PA-NEDSS, is used to determine the case’s county of residence at the time of initial case report. In some instances, the patient zip code is unavailable. In those circumstances, the zip code of the provider that ordered the lab test is used as a proxy for patient zip code. Users should note that the state prison system routinely screens all incoming inmates for hepatitis C. If these inmates are determined to be confirmed cases, they are assigned to the county in which they were incarcerated when their confirmed hepatitis C was first identified. Hepatitis C case counts in counties with state prisons should be interpreted cautiously in light of this enhanced screening activity.
