What is the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)?
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a national health-related telephone survey system that collects data from U.S. residents regarding their health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services. Established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the BRFSS is crucial for public health surveillance and helps guide health policies and programs.
