Results: 63,020 aged ≥18 years in the county (7.5% all years; point estimate). Among 754 deaths, point-estimate per 100,000 were higher blacks (733.5) than whites (229.2) (P < 0.01) Hispanics (360.5) 0.01). The best estimate black/white RR cases 3.20:1 0.01); Hispanic/white MSM, it 1.57:1 Sensitivity analyses suggested reasonably robust biases we examined. Conclusions: Black Hispanic more likely die white MSM. Plausible can inform effective efforts program planning.
