The point map shows the obesity rate by grade level for public school districts in New York State, exclusive of New York City, from the Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR). The initial view of the map is broken up into large geographic areas and displays the number of public school districts in each area. To drill down to a smaller geographic area, click directly on the area of the map or click the plus sign to zoom in on the map. The small blue dots represent school district offices, not the location of specific schools. Clicking on a dot will bring up a fly-out for that district, with information about the obesity rate, grade level, county, region and school years. You can click “next” on the fly-out to view the rate for all three grade levels (elementary, middle/high and district total). Please note that if the obesity rate value is blank on a given flyout, it means that obesity data for this school district and grade level could not be reported to the NYSDOH due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). For more information on FERPA, please refer to the Student Weight Overview document by clicking on the "About" tab. The map can be filtered by grade level by changing the options under the Filter tab. Removing the school district filter is not recommended. The map is based on data collected through the SWSCR. New York City public school districts, BOCES, charter, private and 4201 designated schools are exempt from reporting data to the SWSCR system.

The Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR) collects weight status category data (underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese, based on BMI-for-age percentile). The dataset includes separate estimates of the percent of students overweight, obese and overweight or obese for all reportable grades within the county and/or region and by grade groups (elementary and middle/high).

This chart displays the percent of students who are obese at the district level for seven regions of New York State and Statewide (excluding New York City). The black dotted line indicates the 2017 Prevention Agenda Target for obesity among public school children in New York State (exclusive of New York City). The Prevention Agenda is New York’s State Health Improvement Plan and serves as the blueprint for state and local community action to improve the health of New Yorkers and address health disparities in five priority areas: preventing chronic diseases; promoting a healthy and safe environment; promoting healthy women, infants and children; promoting mental health and preventing substance abuse; and preventing HIV, STDs, vaccine preventable diseases and healthcare associated infections. An objective (Objective 1.0.1) within the Preventing Chronic Disease priority area is to reduce the percentage of public school children who are obese by 5%, from 17.6% (2010-12) to 16.7% by 2017, as measured through the Student Weight Status Category Reporting system.

The chart is based on data collected through the Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR).

This chart displays the percent of students who are obese by grade level (district total, elementary or middle/high) and county for seven regions of New York State (excluding New York City). To view a region that is not included in the initial visualization, you may uncheck the preselected region filter and choose your own parameters. The chart is based on data collected through the Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR). Not all counties or regions are shown in the initial visualization display. If a grey broken columns appear it means data was not collected for that instance.

The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an annual statewide telephone surveillance system designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). BRFSS monitors modifiable risk behaviors and other factors contributing to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the population. New York State's BRFSS sample represents the non-institutionalized adult household population, aged 18 years and older.

Although the overall number of respondents in the BRFSS is more than sufficiently large for statistical inference purposes, subgroup analyses can lead to estimates that are unreliable. Interpreting and reporting weighted numbers that are based on a small, unweighted number of respondents can mislead the reader into believing that a given finding is much more precise than it actually is. The BRFSS follows a rule of not reporting or interpreting percentages based upon a denominator of fewer than 50 respondents (unweighted sample). Both a csv and sas data files are available.

The Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR) collects weight status category data (underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese, based on BMI-for-age percentile) at school entry (pre-kindergarten or kindergarten) and in grades 2, 4, 7 and 10 for students attending all public schools outside of the five boroughs of New York City.

Because of restrictions in reporting due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) there was wide variation in how much of the student population was represented in the data schools submitted during 2008-2010. Therefore the percentage of the student population represented in the county-level estimates varies from county to county. This limits researchers' ability to draw absolute conclusions about observed differences in student weight status among counties.
