CDC - 2016 BRFSS Survey Data and Documentation

Attention, researchers:  2016 BRFSS Public Data Set Now Available !
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Population Health Announces the Release of the 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Data Set
  
The BRFSS is a unique, state-based surveillance system active in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands. Reaching participants on 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 noninstitutionalized adults aged 18 years or 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 health surveillance system in the world, with more than 486,000 interviews conducted in 2016. BRFSS is now working to make this new data set available through its online Prevalence and Trends Tools.
