- Linear Trend Template (excel - updated May 2019): This Excel template calculates linear trend statistics for 12 years of rates at two levels. Its use is described in FHOP's publication "Do We Have a Linear Trend," available on our publications page. As presented, the template tests for linear trends at higher (e.g., state) and lower (e.g. county) levels, then tests if the trends are significantly different from each other. Although set up to compare state and local health jurisdiction trends, it can be easily modified to compare other levels, e.g., nation and state, or super-region (e.g., Bay Area) and county. This template is inappropriate to use when trends are curvilinear in either comparison group.
