BRFSS data in this module are based on land line telephone data only
and utilized an outdated weighting methodology called post-stratification.
This methodology was based on Utah demographics of age, sex, and Local Health District.
The calling and weighting methodologies changed with 2011 BRFSS data and these
data can be found in the module below.
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 land line phones and an under-representation of certain demographic groups that were not
well-represented in the sample. All years of data included in this query module utilize this new methodology.
