Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Injury Data

The Injury and Violence Prevention Branch Surveillance Unit compiles and analyzes BRFSS data related to injury and violence. Drinking and driving, seatbelt usage, falls and firearms are injury topics covered by the BRFSS survey.

BRFSS is a random telephone survey of state residents aged 18 and older in households with telephones. Through BRFSS, information is collected in a routine, standardized manner at the state level on a variety of health behaviors and preventive health practices related to the leading causes of death and disability, including injury. BRFSS interviews are conducted monthly and data are analyzed annually (on a calendar-year basis).
