Now Available: 2014 BRFSS Data
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Population Health is pleased to announce the release of the
2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data.
2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data.
The BRFSS is a unique, state-based surveillance system active in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Using both landline and cellular telephones, the survey collects information on health risk behaviors, clinical preventive health practices, and health care access (primarily related to chronic disease and injury) from a representative sample of non-institutionalized adults aged 18 years and older in each state. The BRFSS provides flexible, timely, and ongoing data collection that allows for state-to-state and state-to-nation comparisons. State-specific data--including racial- and ethnic-specific data from the BRFSS--provide a sound basis for developing and evaluating public health programs, including programs targeted to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in addressing health risks. The BRFSS is the largest ongoing telephone-based surveillance system in the world, with more than 460,000 interviews conducted in 2014.
The 2014 BRFSS data and documentation files are available here:
The 2014 BRFSS data continues to reflect the changes initially made in 2011 in weighting methodology (raking) and the addition of cell phone only respondents. The aggregate BRFSS combined landline and cell phone dataset is built from the landline and cell phone data submitted for 2014 and includes data for 50 states, the District of Columbia Guam, and Puerto Rico.

Comparability of Data[PDF - 272 KB]
Comparability of data across reporting areas for the combined landline and cell phone data set. The BRFSS 2014 data is not directly comparable to years of BRFSS data before 2011 because of the changes in weighting methodology and the addition of the cell phone sampling frame.
