Abstract

The Iowa Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an ongoing telephone survey conducted in partnership with the State of Iowa and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2019, BRFSS collected 9,803 telephone interviews from residents, age 18 and older, living in private residences or college housing regarding health conditions, health-related behaviors, attitudes, and awareness of major contributors to illness, disability, and premature death. BRFSS also monitors the prevalence of these indicators over time statewide. Health-related issues analyzed include general health status, health care access, hypertension, cholesterol, body weight, physical activity, nutrition, diabetes, respiratory conditions, immunizations, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, HIV/AIDS testing, mental health and adverse childhood experiences. Comparisons are made to other states and to Healthy People 2020 and Healthy Iowans goals.
