Since you no longer have asthma, your interview will be very brief (about 5 minutes). You may choose not to answer any question you don’t want to answer or stop at any time.

If the respondent does not agree with the previous BRFSS core value in “Informed Consent” then the question REPEAT (2.0) was asked (REPEAT = 1) then the value for CUR_ASTH (2.2) “Do you still have asthma?” is used.
