This report includes Performance Indicators for preventive health care services provided to selected adults and adolescents enrolled with AHCCCS-contracted, acute-care health plans (Contractors). The four indicators are:
• Breast cancer screening
• Cervical cancer screening
• Adolescent well-care visits
• Adults’ access to preventive/ambulatory services

This report includes data for the period from October 1, 2000, through September 30, 2001 (and may include one or two previous years, depending on the indicator methodology). Results of the four indicators are reported in aggregate by Maricopa, Pima and combined rural counties, and by individual Contractors.

This follow-up to the 2001 landmark report, "Five Shoes Waiting to Drop on Arizona's Future," focuses on the projected future of the state if Arizona fails to address its Latino educational attainment gap. The publication is more of an economic impact statement than an education report, with indicators pointing out consequences and contributions, depending on action or inaction in closing the gap of Arizona's future workforce.
