Since 1993, the four core Healthy Days measures have been part of the state based BRFSS's full sample. Also starting in 2000, the Healthy Days Measures were added to the examination component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The demonstrated value of these measures and the continuous accumulation of public domain data have resulted in support from the CDC Disability, Women's Health, and Arthritis Programs.
