  <dc:title>Access CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Data</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package brfssdata version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Download, cache, and analyze annual microdata from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) &lt;https://www.cdc.gov/brfss/&gt;. Each requested survey year is downloaded once as a compact file hosted on public releases, verified against a published checksum, and cached locally; queries then run through 'DuckDB' (via the 'duckdb' package), so column selection and repeat analyses never re-transfer data. Survey-design helpers construct 'srvyr' design objects with year-appropriate weights, strata, and primary sampling units, including explicit handling of the 2011 weighting methodology change and of the codes CDC uses for missing-type answers.</dc:description>
