Abstract:
|
A small area estimation system is developed for the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The BRFSS is a state-based health survey but there is a need for county estimates. The 2005-2009 American Community Survey PUMS is used to create a "population" of adults for each county. Iterative probability adjustment is used to ensure that the county estimates agree with the direct tabulated "official" estimates from the survey for key state and sub-state domains.
