Previous Postings From BRFSS

BRFSS: The Iowa BRFSS is an ongoing survey of adults 18 years and older who self-report health behaviors. Questions in the survey relate to tobacco use, nutrition, physical activity, hypertension, blood cholesterol, alcohol use, and other measures. Because the Survey is conducted annually, the continuous use of this system allows analysis of tobacco use trends over time.
