Proposed Project
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS)—Existing Collection
Without an OMB Control Number—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP)—Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
conduct information collection for the
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS) for three years
beginning with the 2015 data collection
cycle. The BRFSS is a nationwide
system of customized, cross-sectional
telephone health surveys sponsored by
CDC. Information collection is
conducted in a continuous, three-part
telephone interview process: screening,
participation in a common BRFSS core
survey, and participation in optional
question modules that states use to
customize survey content. BRFSS
coordinators in health departments in
U.S. states, territories, and the District of
Columbia (collectively referred to as
states) are responsible for questionnaire
content and survey administration. CDC
provides the states with technical and
methodological assistance.
The BRFSS produces state-level
information on adults 18 years and
older primarily on the health risk
behaviors, health conditions, and
preventive health practices that are
associated with chronic diseases,
infectious diseases, and injury. This
information is used by state and local
health departments to plan and evaluate
public health programs at the state or
sub-state level. For most states and
territories, the BRFSS provides the only
source of data amenable to state and
local level health and health risk
indicators.
Information collected through the
BRFSS is also used by the federal
government and other entities. CDC
makes annual BRFSS data sets available
for public use and provides guidance on
statistically appropriate uses of the data.
CDC’s authority to collect this
information is provided by the Public
Health Service Act. Participation in the
BRFSS is voluntary and there are no
costs to respondents other than their
time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 255,915.
