One row per published BRFSS survey year

The year inventory that accompanies the data releases: respondent and variable counts, the number of reporting jurisdictions, the hosted file's size in bytes, and the CDC documentation page for the year, plus a locally computed cached flag saying whether the year is already in brfss_cache_dir(). Use it to see the collection at a glance before downloading anything; brfss_years() remains the plain integer vector of published years.

Usage

brfss_year_info(years = NULL, download = TRUE, quiet = TRUE)

Arguments

years

Optional integer vector restricting to those years.

download

If FALSE, only a cached catalog is used, and a missing catalog raises an error instead of being downloaded.

quiet

If TRUE, suppress download progress output.

Value

A tibble with columns year, respondents, variables, states (reporting jurisdictions in the file), size (bytes of the hosted parquet), codebook_url (CDC's documentation page for the year), and cached (logical, computed locally).
