  Rhode Island Department of Health, Office of Health Statistics, 1989 to 1993. Core cities are Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Newport and Central Falls.

  NA: Because nearly all cities have a low number of deaths, the death rates are highly variable. Therefore the rates are not provided for cities and towns.

 The denominator is the number of teens ages 15 ro 19 according to the 1990 Census of Population, multiplied by five to calculate a rate over five years, 1989 to 1993.
