For further explanation on the modules, click on the "Help" button to the right.New Weighting Methodoloy
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. More details about these changes can be found at: [https://ibis.health.utah.gov/pdf/opha/resource/brfss/RakingImpact2011.pdf]- General Health Status
