For Example:
Question
Have
you ever made a serious attempt to stop smoking
cigarettes?
A
survey that included this question
Behavioral
Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
Years
question was included in survey and this resource
1990
BRFSS was conducted annually from 1984 to 2001. Only surveys
conducted from 1990 to 2001 are available in the Question Inventory on Tobacco.
We know that this question appeared only in 1990 for the range
of years the Question Inventory on Tobacco has information available for BRFSS.
The question may or may not have appeared in BRFSS during
the years 1984 to 1999, but the Question Inventory on Tobacco does not have information
for those years, as the surveys conducted in those years have
not yet been entered into the Question Inventory on Tobacco.
