Office of Health Statistics
Under the Division of Administration, the Office of Health Statistics helps collect and develop data used by the Department of Health (DOH) and the public. The office partners with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to administer the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). More information on the BRFSS and YRBS, their associated reports, can be accessed by clicking the links below.
Annually, the office also puts together the department's Vital Statistics Report. These reports are available below and listed by year.
