DATA AND STATISTICS
Begin this assignment by accessing the enhanced version of theBRFSS Prevalence and Trends Tool.
You have the option of exploring the prevalence data by location or topic. Both routes enable you to view and download prevalence estimates through charts, graphs, and maps based on the path you direct. This version provides access to prevalence estimates from the BRFSS core data at the state level as well as data from Selected Metropolitan/Micropolitan Area Risk Trends (SMART). The prevalence estimates have been updated to include both crude prevalence and age-adjusted prevalence.
Submit your document as a Microsoft Word Document to the assignment drop box by the due date. Label your assignment with your first initial, last name and assignment name (for example, CPattonCaseStudy1). (THIS WILL BE ADDED BY ME)
