VB-QMS - Vitalnet BRFSS
Query & Mapping Software


Vitalnet BRFSS Query & Mapping Software (VB-QMS) is the Vitalnet module for analyzing and disseminating BRFSS (the CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System) data. The software makes it much easier and more reliable to analyze BRFSS data (drinking, hypertension, obesity, smoking, diabetes, exercise, many more). Analyses taking hours or days with generic stats software, and often subject to error, are easily and reliably done in minutes.

Vitalnet BRFSS handles all the intricacies of the BRFSS data. No need to use complex, confusing, expensive stats software (e.g., SAS, SPSS, SUDAAN). No need to pore through confusing data dictionaries. No need to try understanding the complexities of BRFSS survey design and weights. Vitalnet BRFSS provides the needed combination of correctness, ease-of-use, and publication-ready output.
