Hi!

I have found the data that you require not for (1993 - 1999) but for
(1990 - 2000) which is the usual benchmark and since such census data
is taken every ten years. Will this be accepted as a legitimate
answer? Just let me know. :)

As for lung cancer I only have data for Race and Gender and not per
age group. But what I have for age group is death rate for respiratory
diseases. Would this also be acceptable? :)

Clarification of Question by michone-ga on 27 Dec 2002 21:59 PST

I need death rate in Arizona by Race, gender, age in 1993 and 1996.
Other years would be helpful. If you could give me data in 1993 and
1996. It would be fine.

For lung cancer, could you tell me in detail about the data you have
(Race and Gender)?

Thank you for your help

earlier data if you are in need of it).

Michone -

Hi, thanks for your request.
At this time, Google researchers cannot attach files to replies -
therefore, I cannot zip the information up for you.

Let me address the two links you had been having trouble with - 

The first does work - the tables that link from that page (which do
not work) are most of the rest of the urls I had supplied you with;
they are cached by Google and you can access them through the urls I
had provided.  The tables are available, but the figures are not;
however, figures are available through Arizona's 1997 survey, a link
to which was supplied.

The second does not work now, my apologies - however, good news - it
is also cached by Google and can be accessed here:

http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache:skEHj7urcVUC:www.hs.state.az.us/plan/ahs96/2c1296hs.htm+&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

I hope this clarification assists you further.

thanks,
ragingacademic

Michone -

Thanks for the wonderful rating, I'm glad I could be of help.  I get
paid by Google, based on the fee you had initially suggested ($15). 
When you are extremely satisfied with an answer, you can tip the
researcher above and beyond this initial sum; however, since you had
already rated the answer I am not sure you can still add a tip.

In any event, thanks again for the great feedback and let me know if I
can be of service in the future.

thanks
ragingacademic

Thank for your big help, answer is excellent!
