Notes from CDC's release notes

First release built on 2020 Census geographies, including Connecticut planning regions as county equivalents.
Seven health-related social needs measures were added, available for 39 states and the District of Columbia that ran the BRFSS optional module.
Chronic kidney disease and core preventive services for older adults were discontinued; cervical cancer screening could not be estimated because the BRFSS question changed.
