Study Notes
Introduction to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)
- The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) was established by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) in 1984 to monitor state-level prevalence of behavioral risks associated with premature morbidity and mortality among adults.
- The BRFSS was created because it was recognized that personal health behaviors played a significant role in premature morbidity and mortality, and data was not available on a state-specific basis.
- Initially, 29 states conducted point-in-time surveys between 1981 and 1983, and in 1984, 15 states began collecting data monthly.
- Currently, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam participate in the BRFSS.
Key Features of the BRFSS
- The BRFSS is a flexible and adaptable system that allows states to add their own questions while maintaining enough uniformity for state-to-state comparisons.
- The BRFSS uses cluster designs based on the Waksberg method, which involves stratified sampling.
- The BRFSS is cost-effective with an average federal award to states of approximately $60,000.
- Data is collected continuously in all participating states, territories, and jurisdictions, and remains available to states for analysis and use.
Uses of the BRFSS
- States utilize BRFSS data for various purposes, including:
- Identifying demographic variations in health-related behaviors.
- Targeting health services.
- Addressing emerging and critical health issues.
- Proposing legislation for health initiatives.
- Measuring progress towards state and national health objectives.
- Evaluating disease prevention and health promotion efforts.
BRFSS Questionnaire
- The BRFSS uses a standardized questionnaire developed by CDC.
- The questionnaire focuses on health behaviors linked to promoting health, preventing disease, and reducing health risks.
- Questions are designed to be suitable for telephone interviewing and relevant to national health objectives and priority health issues.
- The BRFSS questionnaire also includes questions that need to be measured over time to track trends and progress.
Diabetes Prevalence
- Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder affecting blood sugar regulation.
- It is a major public health concern globally, with prevalence rates doubling in the past three decades.
- The International Diabetes Federation predicts a 50% increase in diabetes cases worldwide by 2030, reaching 552 million people.
- The US has a higher prevalence rate than Europe, approximately 11.6% compared to 9%.
- The US spends an estimated US$760 billion annually on diabetes-related healthcare.
Socioeconomic Factors and Diabetes Risk
- The study analyzed the influence of demographic and socioeconomic factors on diabetes risk using a database of 253,680 observations.
- Age was the most significant predictor of diabetes risk, followed by income, sex, and education.
- Older age groups had a higher diabetes prevalence.
- Males showed a slightly increased incidence of diabetes compared to females.
- Individuals with lower educational attainment and lower income levels had a higher risk of diabetes.
Lifestyle Factors and Diabetes Risk
- Lower levels of education are associated with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and social disparities.
- These disparities are linked to an increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
- Low income is often associated with lifestyle factors such as unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, and higher smoking rates, all of which increase the risk of diabetes.
- Low-income individuals often have limited access to healthcare due to high costs.
Limitations of the Study
- The study design is cross-sectional, meaning it provides a snapshot in time and cannot establish causal relationships.
- The study does not differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, limiting the applicability of findings to specific health interventions targeting each type.
