Numbered Memos

BRFSS POLICY MEMO 98.1
Provision of State Reports

Effective with data year 1996, States will receive one State Prevalence Report of Risk Factors and one Statewide Survey Data Report. The number of region/strata specific tables requested has grown exponentially during the past several years, while the Survey Operations Section programming resources have declined. Currently, 16 states use more than one geographic stratum, resulting in a total of 115 geographic strata. Such large numbers of multiple strata state reports cannot be provided without jeopardizing the provision of one timely report for each of the 54 BRFSS reporting areas.

States needing strata-specific risk measures and descriptive reports may request copies of the SAS code used to produce their state report. These programs can be modified by the State to produce additional tables. The Survey Operations Section can offer only limited support for programs modified by States.
