Using the Prevalence and Trends Data Tools, users may produce charts for individual states or the nation by health topic. Users may select specific years or request multiple year data. The Prevalence and Trend Data Tools will produce line graphs for multiple years and bar charts for single years for each selected indicator.

Each year the BRFSS publishes prevalence estimates in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) for multiple indicators by state and some sub-state areas. The prevalence estimates are presented in comparison tables for each geographic area included in SMART BRFSS as well as for each state individually.

The Chronic Disease Indicators Tool allows users to select two or more geographic areas such as states, Metropolitan/Micropolitan Areas (MMSAs), or regions within states. The tool then creates a table illustrating differences on user selected health indicators by geographic area. Chronic conditions and health risk behaviors may be selected for inclusion in customized tables.
