2013 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Conference
“BRFSS: Moving Forward”

Registration Is Now OPEN!

Please join us as we celebrate 30 years of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and its impact on public health! The BRFSS is the world’s largest continuously conducted telephone survey. With assistance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the survey is conducted by all states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Palau, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Federated States of Micronesia. The BRFSS is the primary source of data about the health-related behaviors among adults for many states and provides a mechanism for monitoring local, state, and national health objectives.

We anticipate an exciting and informative conference with participation from public health professionals; members of academia; and partners from federal, state, and international programs. This year's conference will feature sessions on the importance and challenges of health surveillance at the state and federal level, the impact of BRFSS on health policy, and recent BRFSS research activities examining the impact of changes in the survey methodology.

Pre-conference training will be provided, free of charge, on a variety of topics that are surveillance-related, methodological, and analytic. We will also include a session on manuscript development. Space is limited, so register early!
