State- and Sex-Specific Prevalence of Selected Characteristics- Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 1992 and 1993Emma L. Frazier, Ph.D. Catherine A. Okoro, M.S. Charlene Smith, M.S. David V. McQueen, Sc.D. Coordinators for the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (Appendix A) (Table_A) Behavioral Surveillance Branch Division of Adult and Community Health National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Abstract Problem/Condition: Much chronic disease and injury morbidity and mortality is associated with high-risk behaviors (e.g., cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity) and with lack of preventive health care (e.g., screening for cancer). States use the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to collect data about these modifiable health behaviors and to monitor trends and significant changes in their populations over time. Reporting Period: 1992 and 1993. Description of System: The BRFSS is a state-based telephone survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized, adult (persons greater than or equal to 18 years of age) population. In 1992, 48 states and the District of Columbia participated in the BRFSS; in 1993, 49 states and the District of Columbia participated. Several questions were added to the BRFSS in 1993. Results: As in previous years, state-specific variations occurred in the prevalence of high-risk behaviors, awareness of certain medical conditions, use of preventive health services, and health-care coverage. In 1993, 4.0% (range: 1.4%-6.4%) of adults reported riding with a driver who had had too much alcohol to drink. The percentage of persons greater than or equal to 50 years of age who had ever had a proctoscopic examination ranged from 25.6% to 51.5% (median: 36.8%). Among adults greater than or equal to 65 years of age, 27.4% (range: 18.5%-40.0%) had ever had a pneumococcal vaccination, and 49.9% (range: 28.7%-66.2%) had had an influenza vaccination within the past 1 year. Interpretation: The variations in prevalence across states likely reflect socioeconomic differences, differences in state laws enacted to discourage risky behaviors, different levels of effort to screen for certain types of cancer or risk factors for other diseases, and other factors. Action Taken: States will continue to use the BRFSS to collect data about health behaviors. Analysis of these data will enable states to monitor factors that may affect the rate of chronic disease and injury mortality and morbidity and to develop public health policies to address these problems. INTRODUCTION Behaviors such as cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity are major contributors to chronic disease and injury morbidity and mortality in the United States. Preventive health practices such as cholesterol screening, mammography, and proctoscopy can help identify early stages of and thus reduce the death rate from chronic diseases (e.g., heart disease, breast cancer, and prostate cancer). Increasing the use of screening for chronic diseases and reducing high-risk behaviors are among the goals of the year 2000 national health objectives (1). The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a continuous, state-based surveillance system that gathers information monthly about modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and other leading causes of death. This system is used to measure achievement toward both the national health objectives (1) and specific state objectives. This report is the latest in a series that summarizes yearly BRFSS data. It presents state- and sex-specific data for 1992 and 1993 concerning a) risk factors for chronic diseases; b) factors that place persons at risk for injury; c) awareness of certain medical conditions that place persons at risk for developing chronic diseases; d) screenings related to cardiovascular diseases and cancer of the cervix, breast, and colon; e) vaccinations; and f) lack of health-care coverage (which is often a prerequisite for access to clinical preventive health services). The use, history, and rationale of the BRFSS have been previously described (2,3). In 1992, all states * except Arkansas and Wyoming participated in the BRFSS; Arkansas joined in 1993 (Appendix B) (Table_B). The data collected in 1992 and 1993 are presented separately; statistical comparisons between the 2 years of data were not made. METHODS Sampling Each state health department used random digit dialing to select samples of adults in households with telephones. The samples represented each state's civilian, noninstitutionalized, adult (persons greater than or equal to 18 years of age) population. Most states used three-stage cluster sampling based on the Waksberg method (4); other states used simple random, stratified random, or other sampling designs. Questionnaire The 1992 BRFSS questionnaire consisted of a) a core set of questions asked in all participating states, b) optional questions on selected topics developed by CDC and asked at the discretion of each state, and c) questions developed and asked in a particular state to meet a specific need for information. In 1993, two additional components were added to the BRFSS questionnaire: d) a rotating set of core questions asked every other year and e) questions addressing emerging health-care issues and requiring timely data collection. The rotating core question on leisure-time physical activity was asked by all participating states in 1992 but not in 1993. Rotating core questions for 1993 were about riding with a driver who had been drinking alcohol, colorectal cancer screening, and two kinds of vaccinations. Several changes were made to the questions asked in 1992 and 1993. In 1993, an introductory phrase about kinds of alcohol and when people drink was dropped, and gestational diabetes was excluded from the question on diabetes awareness. Changes in the questions on screening for cervical cancer and breast cancer were made both from 1991 to 1992 and from 1992 to 1993. The questions on cervical cancer screening were asked only of women with an intact uterine cervix. In 1992, the introduction to the questions on Papanicolaou (Pap) smears was "These next questions are about Pap smears. A Pap smear is a test where material is taken from the cervix, that is the mouth of the womb, to see if any cancer cells are present. Have you ever had a Pap smear?" In 1993, the introduction was simplified to "A Pap smear is a test for cancer of the cervix. Have you ever had a Pap smear?" In 1992, the introduction to the questions on mammograms was "I would like to ask you a few questions about a medical exam called a mammogram. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast and involves pressing the breast between two plastic plates. Have you ever had a mammogram?" In 1993, the introduction was simplified to "A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast to look for cancer. Have you ever had a mammogram?" In 1992, the introduction to the questions on clinical breast examinations was "The next questions are about a clinical breast exam. During this exam, the breast is felt for lumps by a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional. Have you ever had a clinical breast exam?" In 1993, the introduction was simplified to "A clinical breast exam is when a doctor, nurse, or other health professional feels the breast for lumps. Have you ever had a clinical breast exam?" For comparability across studies, some BRFSS questions were based on those from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) or the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). However, because these studies collected data by different means (BRFSS: telephone survey; NHIS: in-person interview; NHANES: physical examination), the phrasing of each question sometimes differed among surveys. Data Collection and Processing In each state, during the interview period in each month, BRFSS data were collected from the randomly selected population. When the monthly interviewing cycle ended, the data were sent to CDC. CDC edited the data and checked the reliability of the data collected. A computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) system, which permits direct entry of data into a computer file during an interview, was used in 35 states in 1992 and 37 states in 1993. By facilitating data coding, data entry, and the monitoring of interviewers, CATI helps reduce errors in data collection. Data Weighting and Analysis CDC aggregated the edited monthly data files to create a yearly sample for each state. Each state's yearly data file was weighted to both the respondent's probability of selection and the age- and sex-specific or the race-, age-, and sex-specific population from the most current census data (or intercensal estimates) for each state (2,5). CDC used these weighted data to estimate the prevalence of risk factors for each state's population. SUDAAN, a software package for analyzing complex survey data, was used to calculate the standard errors and the 95% confidence intervals for the prevalence estimates (6). In 1992, the number of interviews completed in each state ranged from 1,188 to 3,988 (men: 515-1,802; women: 673-2,186). In 1993, the number of interviews completed ranged from 1,189 to 4,361 (men: 493-1,771; women: 696-2,590). Response rates for completed interviews ranged from 42.8% to 94.8% in 1992 and from 62.6% to 96.4% in 1993. RESULTS Risk Factors for Chronic Diseases Overweight A body mass index of greater than or equal to 27.8 kg/m2 for men and greater than or equal to 27.3 kg/m2 for women is considered overweight. These values approximate the sex-specific 85th percentile of body mass index estimated from NHANES II for persons 20-29 years of age in the United States. In 1992, the prevalence of adults who reported being overweight ranged from 17.3% in Colorado to 29.7% in Mississippi (median: 24.4%) (Table_1). In 1993, the prevalence of overweight adults ranged from 20.2% in Arizona and Hawaii to 31.7% in Mississippi (median: 25.5%). In both years, men were slightly more likely than women to report being overweight (1992: 25.2% vs. 23.1%; 1993: 26.9% vs. 24.4%). No Leisure-Time Physical Activity The question about lack of leisure-time physical activity (i.e., no exercise, recreation, or physical activities {other than regular job duties} during the previous month) was asked in all participating states in 1992 only. The percentage of adults who did not engage in any leisure-time physical activity varied by states nearly threefold, from 17.1% in Colorado to 48.1% in Mississippi (median: 27.4%) (Table_2). The median percentage of adults who reported no leisure-time physical activity was slightly lower for men (26.8%) than for women (29.8%). High Alcohol Consumption Until 1993, an introductory phrase about kinds of alcohol and when people drink was read before the questions on alcohol consumption were asked. In 1993, this introduction was dropped. Drinking Pattern I. In 1992 and 1993, the percentage of adults who reported binge drinking (i.e., consumption of five or more alcoholic beverages on at least one occasion during the previous month) varied approximately fivefold among states (Table_3). In 1992, this percentage ranged from 5.4% in Tennessee to 24.5% in Wisconsin (median: 14.3%); in 1993, it ranged from 4.2% in Tennessee to 22.8% in Wisconsin (median: 14.2%). Approximately three times as many men as women reported binge drinking in 1992 (21.9% vs. 6.9%) and 1993 (21.1% vs. 7.3%). Drinking Pattern II. In 1992, the percentage of adults who reported chronic drinking (i.e., consumption of 60 or more alcoholic beverages during the previous month) ranged from 1.7% in West Virginia to 6.8% in Nevada (median: 2.9%) (Table_4). In 1993, the prevalence of this drinking pattern ranged from 1.4% in Tennessee to 6.1% in Nevada (median: 3.0%). Men were more than six times as likely as women to report chronic drinking in 1992 (5.1% vs. 0.8%) and 1993 (5.3% vs. 0.8%). Cigarette Smoking Smoking Among Adults. The prevalence of adults who reported being current cigarette smokers and having smoked at least 100 cigarettes varied twofold among states (Table_5). In 1992, the prevalence ranged from 15.7% in Utah to 30.7% in Nevada (median: 23.0%), and in 1993, it ranged from 14.4% in Utah to 30.1% in Kentucky (median: 22.5%). The median prevalence of smoking was slightly higher for men than for women in 1992 (24.7% vs. 21.6%) and 1993 (23.9% vs. 21.1%). Smoking Among Young Adults. CDC's Office of Smoking and Health has used smoking prevalence among persons 20-24 years of age as an indicator of smoking initiation in the U.S. general population. However, because sample sizes for this narrow age group were likely to be small at the state level, the age span of 18-29 years was used for this question in the BRFSS. In addition, data from states that participated in the BRFSS in both 1992 and 1993 were aggregated to compensate for the small sample sizes and large confidence intervals that could occur from 1 year of state data. The percentage of young adults who reported being current cigarette smokers and having smoked at least 100 cigarettes ranged from 15.1% in the District of Columbia to 31.2% in Alaska (median: 24.8%) (Table_6). The smoking rate was similar for young men (25.6%) and young women (25.0%). In most states, the smoking rate for young adults was higher than that for all adults. Risk Factors for Personal Injury Safety Belt Use In 1992 and 1993, the percentage of adults who reported that they always wore a safety belt while driving or riding in a car varied more than threefold among states (Table_7). In 1992, the percentage ranged from 25.2% in South Dakota to 88.4% in Hawaii (median: 61.0%), and in 1993, it ranged from 24.9% in South Dakota to 89.8% in Hawaii (median: 62.6%). The median prevalence was more than 13 percentage points lower for men than for women in 1992 (55.0% vs. 68.4%) and 1993 (54.5% vs. 68.1%). Drinking and Driving In 1992, the percentage of adults who reported operating a motor vehicle at least once in the previous month after drinking too much alcohol ranged from 0.6% in North Carolina to 5.5% in Texas (median: 2.3%) (Table_8). In 1993, the precentage ranged from 0.8% in Maryland and Tennessee to 5.3% in Wisconsin (median: 2.4%). More than four times as many men as women reported this behavior in 1992 (3.9% vs. 0.9%) and 1993 (3.7% vs. 0.9%). Riding with a Driver Who Had Had Too Much Alcohol to Drink The question about riding, at least once during the past month, with a driver who had had too much alcohol to drink was asked in 1993 only. The percentage of adults who replied yes ranged from 1.4% in Oklahoma to 6.4% in Texas (median: 4.0%) (Table_9). A higher percentage of men (4.7%) than women (3.4%) reported this behavior. Awareness of Certain Medical Conditions Hypertension In 1992, the percentage of adults who reported ever having been told by a health professional that they had high blood pressure varied from 14.7% in New Mexico to 27.9% in Mississippi (median: 20.6%) (Table_10). In 1993, the percentage ranged from 16.8% in the District of Columbia to 29.8% in Mississippi (median: 21.7%). Slightly fewer men than women reported hypertension awareness in 1992 (19.6% vs. 21.8%) and 1993 (20.6% vs. 22.5%). Diabetes In 1992, the percentage of adults who reported ever having been told by a health professional that they had diabetes ranged from 2.8% in Alaska and Maine to 7.4% in the District of Columbia (median: 5.2%) (Table_11). In 1993, gestational diabetes was excluded from the question on diabetes awareness. In that year, the percentage of diabetes awareness ranged from 2.7% in Colorado to 6.3% in Mississippi (median: 4.5%). In both years, men were slightly less likely than women to report diabetes awareness (1992: 4.4% vs. 5.9%; 1993: 4.4% vs. 4.6%). High Blood Cholesterol In 1992, the percentage of adults who reported ever having been told by a health professional that they had high blood cholesterol ranged from 14.4% in Utah to 21.5% in West Virginia (median: 18.2%) (Table_12). In 1993, this percentage varied from 11.9% in the District of Columbia to 23.3% in Hawaii (median: 19.2%). In both years, fewer men than women reported awareness of high blood cholesterol (1992: 16.5% vs. 19.3%; 1993: 18.0% vs. 20.4%). Screening Cholesterol In 1992, the percentage of adults who reported ever having had their blood cholesterol tested ranged from 59.4% in Utah to 73.7% in Massachusetts (median: 67.3%) (Table_13). In 1993, the percentage ranged from 59.5% in Mississippi to 75.6% in Massachusetts (median: 67.9%). The median was lower for men than for women in 1992 (65.3% vs. 69.6%) and 1993 (65.5% vs. 70.3%). The percentage of adults who reported that they had had their blood cholesterol tested within the past 5 years varied from 58.4% in Utah to 72.6% in Massachusetts (median: 65.9%) in 1992 (Table_14). In 1993, this percentage varied from 57.0% in Mississippi to 73.4% in Massachusetts (median: 65.0%). The median was lower for men than for women in 1992 (63.5% vs. 68.1%) and 1993 (62.7% vs. 67.6%). Cervical Cancer In 1992 and 1993, the percentage of women who had ever had a Pap smear was greater than 84% in all states (Table_15). The percentage varied from 86.6% to 97.1% (median: 93.5%) in 1992 and from 84.3% to 96.6% (median: 93.7%) in 1993. In both years, the percentage of women who reported having had a Pap smear in the past 3 years for any reason was greater than 76% (Table_15). The percentage ranged from 76.2% to 89.8% (median: 83.2%) in 1992 and from 77.3% to 90.2% (median: 84.2%) in 1993. The proportion of women who had had a Pap smear in the previous 3 years as part of a routine checkup was 4.8 and 4.0 percentage points lower than that for any reason in 1992 and 1993, respectively. Breast Cancer Mammogram. In 1992, the percentage of women greater than or equal to 40 years of age who reported ever having had a mammogram varied from 57.3% to 82.3% (median: 74.0%) (Table_16). In 1993, the percentage varied from 68.5% to 85.7% (median: 77.9%). In 1992, 62.4% of women greater than or equal to 50 years of age reported that they had had a mammogram in the past 2 years for any reason (range: 44.3%-75.8%) (Table_16). In 1993, this value was 65.9% (range: 55.2%-74.6%). In 1992, the percentage of women who had had a mammogram in the past 2 years for routine reasons was 7.0 percentage points lower than that for having the mammogram for any reason; in 1993, this value was 5.7 percentage points lower. Clinical Breast Examination. In both 1992 and 1993, greater than 81% of women greater than or equal to 40 years of age reported ever having had a clinical breast examination (Table_17). In 1992, this percentage ranged from 81.5% to 96.0% (median: 87.9%); in 1993, the percentage varied from 81.6% to 95.0% (median: 89.8%). In 1992 and 1993, greater than 60% of women greater than or equal to 50 years of age reported that they had had a clinical breast examination in the past 2 years for any reason (Table_17). In 1992, the percentage ranged from 60.5% to 83.2% (median: 72.4%); in 1993, it ranged from 60.2% to 82.0% (median: 73.4%). In 1992, the percentage of women who reported having had a clinical breast examination in the past 2 years for routine reasons was 5.3 percentage points lower than that for any reason; in 1993, this value was 5.1 percentage points lower. Mammogram and Clinical Breast Examination. In 1992, the percentage of women greater than or equal to 40 years of age who had ever had both a mammogram and a clinical breast examination ranged from 54.6% to 78.9% (median: 70.5%) (Table_18). In 1993, this percentage ranged from 63.6% to 81.7% (median: 73.4%). In 1992, the combined use of mammography and clinical breast examination in the previous 2 years for any reason among women greater than or equal to 50 years of age varied from 39.2% to 70.2% (median: 55.9%) (Table_18). In 1993, this percentage ranged from 49.8% to 68.0% (median: 60.2%). The proportion of women who reported having had both a mammogram and clinical breast examination in the previous 2 years for routine reasons was 7.5 and 6.4 percentage points lower than that for any reason in 1992 and 1993, respectively. Colorectal Cancer Digital Rectal Examination. The questions on digital rectal examination were asked in 1993 only. In all but one state (Kentucky), more than one half of adults greater than or equal to 40 years of age reported that they had ever had this examination (Table_19). The percentage ranged from 48.6% in Kentucky to 81.9% in Alaska (median: 71.7%). This value was higher for men (75.5%) than for women (68.6%). The percentage of adults greater than or equal to 40 years of age who reported that they had had this examination in the previous 2 years ranged from 32.9% in Kentucky to 62.1% in Rhode Island (median: 51.3%) (Table_19). This value was higher for men (54.6%) than for women (49.0%). Proctoscopic Examination. The question on proctoscopic examination was asked in 1993 only. The percentage of adults greater than or equal to 50 years of age who reported that they had ever had this examination ranged from 25.6% in Tennessee to 51.5% in Minnesota (median: 36.8%) (Table_20). The rate was higher for men (39.9%) than for women (34.0%). Vaccination Pneumococcal Vaccination In 1993, the percentage of adults greater than or equal to 65 years of age who reported that they had ever had a pneumococcal vaccination ranged from 18.5% in Louisiana to 40.0% in Colorado (median: 27.4%) (Table_21). The percentage was slightly higher for men (28.7%) than for women (27.4%). Influenza Vaccination In 1993, the percentage of adults greater than or equal to 65 years of age who reported that they had had an influenza vaccination in the previous year ranged from 28.7% in the District of Columbia to 66.2% in Arizona (median: 49.9%) (Table_21). The value was about the same for men (50.6%) and women (50.4%). Lack of Health-Care Coverage In both 1992 and 1993, the percentage of adults 18-64 years of age who reported that they did not have any health-care coverage varied nearly fourfold (Figure_1) and (Figure_2). In 1992, the percentage varied from 7.6% to 28.8% (median: 15.9%), and in 1993, the percentage ranged from 6.8% to 25.5% (median: 14.9). For both years, the greatest prevalence of uninsured persons 18-64 years of age was in southern and southwestern states. Men were slightly more likely than women to have no health insurance in 1992 (16.9% vs. 15.1%) and 1993 (15.6% vs. 14.0%). DISCUSSION Reports on BRFSS data for 1984-1991 (7-12) and this report have demonstrated that the prevalence of health risk behaviors varies considerably among states. The variation between states may be attributable to differences in socioeconomic factors (e.g., per capita income, median number of years of education, and unemployment levels), different state laws enacted to discourage risky behaviors (e.g., driving under the influence of alcohol), different levels of effort to screen for certain types of cancer, and other factors. These variations illustrate why policy makers need state-specific data to address health problems in each state. The percentage of men and women who reported being overweight for the 1992 and 1993 BRFSS (approximately 25%) was lower than the estimated 34% obtained by direct measurements of height and weight from NHANES III, which was conducted between 1988 and 1991 (13). This difference may be a result of overweight adults underreporting their weight more often than do adults who are not overweight (14). Additionally, underreporting of weight is more common among women than among men (14). In the BRFSS, fewer women than men reported being overweight; however, in NHANES III, more women than men were found to be overweight (35% and 32%, respectively) (13). Because BRFSS data are self-reported, they may underestimate the true prevalence of overweight adults in the United States. Measuring the prevalence of physical activity has historically been limited by the lack of data about work-related physical activity. Examination of leisure-time physical activity only and exclusion of work and household activity may underestimate total physical activity (15). Thus, the BRFSS data about lack of leisure-time physical activity probably underestimate total physical activity among adults in the United States. In 1992 and 1993, the percentage of adults reporting alcohol consumption pattern I or II varied not only by state but also by sex. Other studies have also demonstrated the prevalence of these drinking patterns to vary by geographic region and sex (16,17). The BRFSS data also correspond closely with results from a study on per capita alcohol consumption estimated from alcohol sales data (18). The 1993 BRFSS median prevalence of adults who currently smoke cigarettes (22.5%) correlates closely with the 1993 NHIS estimate of 25% (19). The 1991 NHIS estimate that 22.9% of young adults 20-24 years of age are current smokers (20) is also similiar to the BRFSS 1992-1993 aggregate datum that 24.8% of young adults 18-29 years of age are current smokers. The highest prevalence of safety belt use was reported in states having safety-belt-use laws that permit primary enforcement. Primary enforcement allows a police officer to stop a driver for an observed violation of a safety-belt-use law only. Secondary enforcement requires a police officer to first stop the driver for another violation. Primary enforcement laws are associated with more frequent safety belt use than are secondary enforcement laws (21). Adults living in states with the highest rates of alcohol consumption are most likely to drive after drinking too much alcohol or to ride with a driver who had too much alcohol to drink. Thus, engaging in these drinking-related behaviors increases the risk for injury. Data about self-reported awareness of certain medical conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, and high blood cholesterol) provide health-care providers and educators information about what people know about their medical condition. However, awareness does not indicate that these conditions are being treated or controlled, nor does it reflect the prevalence of risk factors for these conditions. These self-reported BRFSS data are likely lower than the true prevalence of these medical conditions because many persons may be unaware that they have such medical problems (22). The self-reported BRFSS data about the use of mammography and clinical breast examination are similar to estimates from the Jacobs Institute of Women's Health Mammography Attitudes and Usage Study (23) and the NHIS (13), which also are based on self-reported data. In 1992, the BRFSS study and the study conducted by the Jacobs Institute of Women's Health (23) indicated that 74% of women greater than or equal to 40 years of age had ever had a mammogram. The BRFSS estimates of the percentage of uninsured adults 18-64 years of age are slightly lower than those reported from the March 1993 Current Population Survey (24). The Current Population Survey includes persons in households without telephones. Persons without telephones in the household tend to be poorer and less educated than persons who have telephones (25). These persons may also be less likely to have health insurance (25). Thus, the finding that the percentage of uninsured adults is lower in the BRFSS than in the March 1993 Current Population Survey may reflect the fact that BRFSS data are collected only from persons in households with telephones. States can use BRFSS data about health insurance coverage to identify the sociodemographic characteristics of persons who do not have coverage and to compare the prevalence of health risk behaviors and the use of preventive health services among the insured and uninsured (25). For example, lack of mammography use is associated with lack of health insurance (25). This information also can be used by managed-care organizations in determining the best options for state populations and by policy makers in evaluating health-care reforms at the state level. The differences in self-reported behaviors and use of medical services must be interpreted cautiously on the basis of only these 2 years of state data. The apparent decreases or increases may reflect changes in the true prevalence of the population sampled. However, these changes could be artifactual because several factors, including wording changes in the questions on alcohol consumption and diabetes awareness; modifications in the definition of Pap smear, mammography, and clinical breast examination; shifts in the demographic composition of the sample population between 1992 and 1993; differences resulting from under- or overreporting of certain factors; and sampling and nonresponse errors. The extent of these possible effects probably is limited, but the effects can be assessed only after data from subsequent years are collected and analyzed. The BRFSS can provide the basis for developing or evaluating public health programs or policies designed to reduce the prevalence of health risk factors.
