Data Notes

"Don't know" and "Refused" responses were eliminated from the denominator.  Rates are age-adjusted using 8 age groups. 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. More details about these changes can be found at: http://health.utah.gov/opha/publications/brfss/Raking/Raking%20impact%202011.pdf. U.S. data are avaialble at www.cdc.gov/brfss

Denominator: Utah adults 18 and over.
