BRFSS Vision Module Data – Vision & Eye Health

2005-2016. This dataset includes data from the retired BRFSS Vision Module. From 2005-2011 the BRFSS employed a ten question vision module regarding vision impairment, access and utilization of eye care, and self-reported eye diseases. In 2013 and subsequently, one question in the core of BRFSS asks about vision: “Are you blind or do you have serious difficulty seeing, even when wearing glasses?” The latest data for this core question can be found in the Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS). VEHSS is intended to provide population estimates of vision loss function, eye diseases, health disparities, as well as barriers and facilitators to access to vision and eye care. This information can be used for designing, implementing, and evaluating vision and eye health prevention programs. To access the latest BRFSS data, (2013-2017) view the Behavioral Risk Factors – Vision and Eye Health Surveillance dataset (https://chronicdata.cdc.gov/Vision-Eye-Health/Behavioral-Risk-Factors-Vision-and-Eye-Health-Surv/vkwg-yswv).

2005-2016年间，本数据集收录了已退役的BRFSS视力模块的数据。在2005-2011年期间，BRFSS采用了包含十个问题的视力模块，涉及视力障碍、眼科保健的获取与利用，以及自报的眼部疾病。2013年起，BRFSS的核心问题中增加了一项关于视力的询问：‘您是否失明，或者即使佩戴眼镜也存在严重视力障碍？’该核心问题的最新数据可在视力与眼部健康监测系统（VEHSS）中找到。VEHSS旨在提供视力丧失功能、眼部疾病、健康差异，以及获取视力与眼部保健的障碍与促进因素的群体估计。这些信息可用于设计、实施和评估视力与眼部健康预防项目。欲获取最新的BRFSS数据（2013-2017年），请查看行为风险因素——视力与眼部健康监测数据集（https://chronicdata.cdc.gov/Vision-Eye-Health/Behavioral-Risk-Factors-Vision-and-Eye-Health-Surv/vkwg-yswv）。
