County-Level Analysis of Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Data FY20

The goal of this project is to analyze Kentucky Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (KY-BRFSS) Data and prepare small-area data for publication on the Foundation’s Kentucky Health Facts website. For a cost not to exceed $41,000, including a maximum of 10% overhead, the University of Kentucky research team led by W. Jay Christian, PhD (UK) will undertake Stage II Small Area Analysis of Kentucky Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (KY-BRFSS) Data. This will entail application of the methodology developed for “peer county” small area analysis (Stage I, completed project under contract with Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH), documented in a previously-submitted report), to analyze current Kentucky BRFSS data, and to prepare tables to be used for presentation of county-level results on kentuckyhealthfacts.org website.
