Diabetes Data

The Alaska Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (AKDPCP) monitors the burden of diabetes in the state using numerous data sources. In an effort to share available data with the statewide community, the AKDPCP will be posting a series of tables with diabetes-related data from some of our data sources.

The first tables in the series to be posted are from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).

The BRFSS is a random-digit dial telephone survey conducted annually to track health risks in Alaska. The information from the survey is used to improve the health of Alaskans. Diabetes questions have been a part of the BRFSS since 1991, and data from this source is used by the State of Alaska to estimate the prevalence of diabetes in the state.
