Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Data

The following tables are produced from the 2013 and 2014 BRFSS Industry and Occupation Module data, a non-public* dataset. The analyses were conducted in SAS 9.3 using the SURVEYFREQ procedure and include only currently employed or self-employed adults, excluding armed forces. The tables, which are previously unpublished, present weighted, unadjusted, bivariate prevalence estimates for selected health behaviors, health outcomes and access to care, as described:
