Data based on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), an ongoing, state-based, random-digit-dialed telephone survey of non-institutionalized civilian adults aged 18 years and older. For more information about BRFSS, go to http://www.cdc.gov/brfss/index.html .
Data are unavailable for 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022.

Definitions
N/A : Data not available. US Virgin Islands is only included in BRFSS in 2023. Due to limited data, New Jersey was not included in the 2019 BRFSS aggregated data set. Florida was unable to collect BRFSS data over enough months to meet the minimum requirements for inclusion in 2021, and Kentucky and Pennsylvania did not meet minimum requirements for inclusion in 2023.
