"Don't know" and "Refused" responses were eliminated from the denominator.
Age-adjusted to U.S. 2000 standard population.
Beginning in 2011, BRFSS data include both landline and cell phone respondent data along with a new weighting methodology
called iterative proportional fitting, or raking. This methodology utilizes additional demographic information (such as education,
race, and marital status) in the weighting procedure. Both of these methodology changes were implemented to account for an
increased number of U.S. households without landline phones and an under-representation of certain demographic groups that
were not well-represented in the sample. This graph is based on the new methodology. More details about these changes can
be found at: http://health.utah.gov/opha/publications/brfss/Raking/Raking%20impact%202011.pdf.
