*These questions are asked only of caregivers. Subpopulation estimates (e.g. gender) refer to the survey respondent, not to the person for whom they provide care.
**Developmental Disabilities such as Autism, Down’s Syndrome, and Spina Bifida or Disabilities such as eye/vision problem (blindness), hearing problems (deafness), Muscular Sclerosis, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury.
****Arthritis/Rheumatism, Asthma, Chronic respiratory conditions such as Emphysema or COPD, Physical health conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s Disease or Lung Disease/Emphysema.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in the weighting methodology and other factors, results from 2017 are NOT comparable to 2010
and earlier years.

***The estimate was suppressed because it did not meet statistical reliability standards. See BRFSS 2017 Annual Results Technical Notes for more details.

^Use caution in interpreting cell sizes less than 50, % = Percentage, C.I.(95%) = Confidence Interval (at 95 percent probability level).
Percentages are weighted to population characteristics and therefore cannot be calculated exactly from the numbers in this table.
