The BRFSS is an ongoing, monthly, state-based telephone survey of the adult population. The survey provides state-specific information on behavioral risk factors and preventive health practices. Respondents were considered to have diabetes if they responded yes to the question, Has a doctor ever told you that you have diabetes? Estimates were restricted to adults 20 years of age or older to be consistent with population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. The county-level estimates for the 3,141 counties or county equivalents (eg, parish, borough) in the 50 US states and the District of Columbia were based on indirect model-dependent estimates, which employs a statistical model that borrows strength in making an estimate for one county from BRFSS data collected in other counties. Bayesian multilevel modeling techniques were used to obtain these estimates, and separate models were developed for each of the four census regions: West, Midwest, Northeast and South.
