Current Asthma Prevalence Among Adults by Colorado Census Tract

Purpose: This dataset contains the Colorado census tract level Current Asthma Prevalence Among Adults (2023) copied directly from the CDC Places Dataset. A multi-level regression and post-stratification approach was applied to BRFSS and ACS data to compute a detailed probability of having current asthma (reporting ‘yes’ to both of the questions, “Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional that you have asthma?” and the question, “Do you still have asthma?”). The probability was then applied to the detailed population estimates at the appropriate geographic level to generate the prevalence. The 95% confidence interval was derived using Monte Carlo simulation. This dataset supports the CDPHE Community Health Equity Map application. Update Schedule and URL: This dataset is updated annually (September) as the CDC PLACES dataset is updated.
