Source: WNC Healthy Impact Regional Telephone Survey. The survey is conducted every three years, beginning in 2012.
Note: When viewing BRFSS data (using comparison toggle view), be aware that due to changes in methodology, BRFSS data prior to 2011 should not be compared to 2012 and 2013. Also, in 2014 and onward, BRFSS data is only available by region. However, WNC Healthy Impact's regional telephone survey, conducted every three years beginning in 2012, provides county-level and comparable WNC data.
