The
2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data set is now
publicly available. The BRFSS provides for data collection on state-specific
data—including racial- and ethnic-specific data from the BRFSS and provides a
sound basis for developing and maintaining public health programs, including
programs designed to reduce racial and ethnic disparities and to address health
risks and social determinants of health.
In the 2021 calendar year, BRFSS was active in 50 states (with 49 states
reporting), plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin
Islands. The BRFSS is the largest ongoing telephone-based health surveillance
system in the world, conducting more than 438,000 interviews in 2021.
