This report provides selected statistical indicators of data quality in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The report presents data on four types of measures by state1:
(1) Outcome measures, including response rates, which are based on disposition codes.
(2) Selection biases with respect to gender, age, and race/ethnicity.
(3) Missing values on income.
(4) Sampling frame coverage.
The measures in this report are designed to document the quality of BRFSS data.2 "Data quality" in this report refers to the accuracy of BRFSS data.
Outcome Measures
The factors affecting the distribution of disposition codes by state may be grouped into differences in telephone systems, sample designs, surveyed populations, and data collection processes. Different outcome measures are variously affected by differences in these factors.
Table 1 presents the frequency distributions of individual disposition codes by state. The percent completes by state is the Efficiency Rate.
Table 2 presents brief definitions of each disposition code.
Table 3.
The categories used in the calculations of the outcome rates in Table 6 are defined below.
Categories of Case Outcomes | ||
Category | Disposition Code Definition | Format in Formulas |
Completed Interview | 01 | COIN |
Eligible and able to complete interview | 01+02+07+09+12+13+14 | Elig HH |
Unknown Eligibility | 04+10 | Unknown |
Ineligible or unable to complete interview | 03+05+06+08+11 | Ineligible |
The BRFSS Cooperation Rate is an outcome rate with the number of completes in the numerator and the number of eligible respondents who are capable of completing the survey in the denominator. Records with disposition codes indicating a respondent who does not speak English—or in some states, English or Spanish—or a respondent with a physical or mental impairment are excluded from the denominator.3 The denominator of the Cooperation Rate consists of records with disposition codes of 01, 02, 07, 09, 13, 14. Thus, the formula for the BRFSS Cooperation Rate is
Table 3.
A response rate is an outcome rate with the number of completes in the numerator and an estimate of the number of eligible units in the sample in the denominator. The BRFSS CASRO Response Rate calculation treats telephone numbers used by someone aged 18 years or older who speaks English—or in some states, English or Spanish—well enough to complete the interview and with no physical or mental impairment that prevents completion of the interview as eligible units. Eligible records are records with disposition codes of 01, 02, 07, 09, 12, 13, or 14. Ineligible records are records in which a respondent is unable to complete an interview (those with disposition codes of 11 or 08) or those in which no adult resident uses the number (disposition codes 03, 05, and 06). Added to this total is an estimate of the number of households among the records whose eligibility is undetermined. These are records with disposition codes of 04 or 10. The BRFSS CASRO Rate calculation assumes that the unresolved numbers contain the same percentage of eligible households as the records whose eligibility or ineligibility are determined. Thus, the formula for the BRFSS CASRO Rate is:
A response rate is an indicator of the potential for bias in the results of a survey. It does not indicate the actual amount of bias. The actual amount of bias can be conceptualized as a function of two factors—the amount of non-response, which is measured by a response rate, and the differences between the responders and the non-responders. A response rate does not address the latter factor.
Table 4 presents frequency distributions of individual household disposition codes by state. The percent completes by state may be termed the Household Completion Rate. It is the percent of completes among identified households.
Table 5 presents frequency distributions of individual disposition codes by state for listed household telephone numbers.4 These distributions may be less subject to the influences of characteristics of the telephone systems and of sample designs than the distributions of all sample records. By definition, all of these numbers were listed household numbers at one time. While states will differ in the extent to which these numbers will have changed status since being listed, the resulting differences should be smaller than the differences among numbers that began with different statuses. Thus, the percent of completes among listed household numbers may be considered an alternative measure of data quality.
Selection Biases
Tables 6 through 13 present data on the differences between BRFSS and
population data with respect to gender, age, and race/ethnicity by state. In
these tables, BRFSS data are weighted for the characteristics of the sample
design—disproportionate sampling by geographic and density strata (where
they exist), number of phones, and number of adults in the household.5
Because these factors are built into the sample design, they should be
adjusted for before comparing survey distributions to population
distributions. No definitive standards exist with respect to what
constitutes a substantial difference between survey and population
percentages. One approach would be to examine the distribution of discrepant
values with the purpose of identifying extreme values, or outliers, which
may indicate biased data.
Income Missing Values
Table 14 presents the percent missing (Don’t know/Not sure or Refused or either) income by state. Income is the variable in the survey data with the largest percentage of missing values. A larger percentage of missing values for income implies lower quality data for income and, by extension, for other variables.

Table 2. Summary of 2001 BRFSS Disposition Rules | |
Code | Rule |
1 Completed interview (questions asked through age, race, and sex) |
Give final disposition. |
2 Refused interview |
Give final disposition after second refusal or when a first-time refusal will not be called a second time |
3 Non-working number |
Usually recognized by a recording or fast-busy signal. Includes "number changed" recordings and numbers that "bridge." Call operator or repair service when in doubt. Give final disposition. |
4 Ring no answer |
A normal telephone ring which no one answers (answering machines do not count as an answer) to be given final disposition only after (1) 5 calling occasions (each consisting of 3 attempts), and (2) the 5 occasions have a mixture of weekday, weeknight, and weekend calls. If possible, contact the phone company repair service to verify the number is in service. |
5 Not a private residence |
The person answering identifies the telephone number as a business or says "no" when asked, "Is this a private residence?" Also use this disposition for institutions (government offices, educational facilities, dormitories, nursing homes, hospitals, prisons, etc.), group homes (fraternities and sororities, half-way houses, shelters, etc.), pagers, fax machines, and computer modems. Give final disposition. |
6 No eligible respondent at this number |
The household does not include anyone 18 years of age or older (this does not mean the adults are away temporarily). Give final disposition. |
7 Selected respondent not available during the interviewing period |
The selected respondent will not be available or could not be reached during the time you have allotted for the month's interviewing. Give final disposition only when respondent's unavailability is certain or when the same calling requirements for ring-no-answers and busies have been met. |
8 Language barrier |
The selected respondent does not speak English well enough to be interviewed, and there is not a translated questionnaire and interviewer available for the respective language. Give final disposition. |
9 Interview terminated within questionnaire |
A "hang up" at some point after the first question has been asked (this does not mean the respondent refused a particular question). Make another attempt to complete questionnaire. Give final disposition if second attempt unsuccessful. If after a second attempt the respondent has completed the interview at least through the age, race, and sex questions, recode as a completed interview. |
10 Line busy |
To be given final disposition only after (1) 5 calling occasions (each consisting of 3 attempts at > 10 minute intervals), and (2) the 5 occasions have a mixture of weekday, weeknight, and weekend calls. If possible, contact the phone company repair service to verify the number is in service. |
11 Respondent unable to communicate due to physical or mental impairment |
Example: respondent is deaf. Give final disposition |
12 Technological barrier (Answering machine, call blocking, etc.) |
To be given final disposition only after (a) 5 calling occasions (each consisting of 3 attempts), and (b) the 5 occasions have a mixture of weekday, weeknight, and weekend calls. One or more attempts reached an answering machine, call blocking, or other automated response but no person was ever spoken to. |
13 On "never call" list |
To be assigned to (those few) phone numbers where the BRFSS State Coordinator has determined that a phone number should not be called. |
14 Hang-up or termination before respondent selection |
Give final disposition after second hang-up or refusal or when a first-time hang-up or refusal will not be called a second time. |

1 | In this report, “state” includes the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. |
2 | The measures in this report are at best only indirect indicators of the quality of the data collection effort or adherence to BRFSS protocols. The 2000 BRFSS Baseline Summary Quality Control Report presents measures more directly relevant to these latter concerns. |
3 | Whether or not such respondents are eligible is a matter of perspective. They are eligible in that they are part of the stated target population. They are not eligible in that they are not capable of completing an interview. |
4 | Listed household telephone numbers are identified by the sample provider. This table excludes Minnesota, Puerto Rico, and Wisconsin, for which listed household designations are not available. |
5 | These factors make up the variable _WT1 in the BRFSS SAS data sets. |
