- Title
Rural population estimates: an analysis of a large secondary data set.
- Authors
Bennett, Kevin J
- Abstract
Health services research often utilizes secondary data sources such as the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Since 2006, the released BRFSS data do not include respondents who live in counties with 10,000 or fewer residents, and the CDC no longer offers the opportunity to access the unrestricted data set. As a result, rural residents can be underrepresented in BRFSS data after 2005. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the potential for bias introduced by rural underestimation.
