Description
Begin this assignment by accessing the enhanced version of the BRFSS Prevalence and Trends Tool. (https://www.cdc.gov/brfss/brfssprevalence/index.html)
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.

The prevalence estimates have been updated to include both crude prevalence and age-adjusted prevalence.
