PREFACE
This report, Utah's Vital Statistics: Marriages and Divorces, 1997, is published by the Bureau of Vital Records, Utah Department of Health. Its purpose is to provide a consistent and convenient data resource for planners, students, researchers, public officials, private business and the general public. The summary tables of this report contain trends and historical data for both Utah and the United States. However, starting in 1996 detailed data1 on marriages and divorces were not collected from the states participating in the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program. The 1994 data year is the last publication of the "Annual Summary of Births, Marriages, Divorces, and Deaths: United States (Year)" of the Monthly Vital Statistics Report series referenced in this report. The national data for 1995 through 1997 is obtained from the "Births, Marriages, Divorces, and Deaths for December 1997". Because the detailed data for the U.S. is no longer available, there are Summary Tables in this report that compare detailed data for Utah and the U.S. that cannot be updated. The reference section of this report contains tables on marriages and dissolutions of marriage that occurred in 1997, and data are tabulated for the state, local health districts, counties and various other demographic categories. Insufficient responses to specific items on marriage and dissolution of marriage records can make corresponding statistical data unreliable. When this occurs the data are not published although the data from prior years may be published. The technical appendix contains information on the sources, quality and limitations of data.

1997 Technical Appendix: Marriages and Divorces
TECHNICAL APPENDIX
In 1957, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), United States Department of Health and Human Services defined registration areas for the collection of marriage and divorce statistics. These areas were referred to as the Marriage Registration Area (MRA) and the Divorce Registration Area (DRA). Membership was voluntary for all states and the main requirement was central maintenance of marriage and divorce records. The MRA and DRA provided uniformity of data collection to provide detailed data for marriage and divorce studies at the national level. The State of Utah participated in both the MRA and DRA programs. In 1996 NCHS stopped the collection of detailed data from marriage and divorce records, but continues to collect counts of marriages performed and divorces granted from all vital registration areas of the United States. Utah's Bureau of Vital Records continues to collect the detailed data and to publish Utah's Vital Statistics: Marriages and Divorces series. The following information will help users understand how marriage and divorce data are collected in the State of Utah. Title 26, Chapter 2, Section 24 of the Utah Code Annotated, 1953 requires marriages occurring in the state to be registered with the state registrar. Divorce or annulment reporting is required under Title 26, Chapter 2, Section 25 of the Utah Code Annotated, 1953. The divorce statute specifies that the decree of divorce become absolute (final) at the expiration of three months from the date the decree is entered, unless an appeal of the court, for good cause, orders a different date, but not more than six months thereafter. In most instances, the divorce certificate is completed at the time the decree is entered and the date the decree becomes final is 90 days later. The record is then transmitted to the bureau. For some decrees, during the intervening 90 days, an appeal is filed and the final date is delayed or the decree may be set aside and never becomes final. Occasionally the bureau is notified of these changes. However, it is difficult, particularly at the end of the year, to reflect all of these changes so that there are complete statistical tabulations. Data for the Reference Tables of this report are tabulated directly from the records. The form used for reporting marriages was revised in 1996 and is shown in Figure A. The Certificate of Divorce, Annulment or Dissolution of Marriage, Figure B was revise in 1995 and is being used in Utah's counties for submitting final divorce and annulment records to the Bureau of Vital Records. Populations used for calculating the rates in the Summary tables are shown in Figure C and can be obtained in either an excel or text format from the Govenor's Office of Planning and Budget at the Demographic and Economic Analysis web site at http://www.qget.state.ut.us/projections/downloads/DownloadArea/SYA_Files/.
