WK 1 CASE STUDY

Access the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website

Under Prevalence and Trends Data, select the following:

State: California
Year: 2016
Category: Tobacco Use

Scroll down and click the link for Tobacco Use

Under the drop-down, select Current Smoking Status

According to the CDC data, 7.9% of Californian adults smoked everyday.

How does this compare to previous years?

Click the “View Trend Data” tab.

a. Write one (1) sentence explaining this trend. NOTE: Use APA-formatted citation and references (6th edition). The following is an example of one sentence with a properly-formatted citation and reference:

In the period from 2011 to 2012, Californian adults who smoked everyday decreased from 8.6% to 7.9% (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012).

b. Now, you explore this data set by selecting a different category, different state or different years. This should be very useful in writing prevalence statements regarding behaviors.
