Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)

2011 and 2012

http://www.cdc.gov/brfss/index.htm

There have been nearly 20 separate studies that have examined issues related to the reliability and validity of the BRFSS and the system’s ability to provide both valid national estimates and comparisons across states. The data is used by federal and state agencies as well as in academia.

Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) -Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) Modules

2010

N/A

The CPPW module of BRFSS includes items in three content areas that are relevant to CTG: Neighborhood Perception and Environment, Food Assistance, and Water Consumption.

California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) Child Questionnaire

2009

http://www.askchis.com/questionnaires.html

Although no reliability or validity measures were given, CHIS has a large sample annually (n=42,000-55,000) and is monitored by UCLA, California Public Health, and Westat. Those institutions provide guidance on instrument development, indicators and outcomes. The data is used by federal agencies such as the CDC.

California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) Child and Adolescent Questionnaire

2009

http://www.askchis.com/questionnaires.html

Although no reliability or validity measures were given, CHIS has a large sample annually (n=42,000-55,000) and is monitored by UCLA, California Public Health, and Westat. Those institutions provide guidance on instrument development, indicators and outcomes. The data is used by federal agencies such as the CDC.

Chicago Community Adult Health Survey

2001

http://isr.umich.edu/ccahs/data.html

Although no reliability or validity measures were given, data was submitted to ICPSR for use by outside researchers. ICPSR is a well-established institution for social and policy research. The principal investigators for CCAHS are faculty of University of Michigan.

Food Attitudes and Behaviors (FAB) Survey

2007

http://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/brp/fab/index.html

The FAB Survey was developed by the National Cancer Institute and managed by the National Institute of Health. Several rounds of cognitive interviewing were conducted, modifications were made, and psychometric testing was conducted in order to identify distinct correlates of fruit and vegetable intake were measured properly on the instrument.

Healthy Home Survey

2005

http://www.iahhc.org/associations/1822/files/CMS_New_Survey%20Process.pdf

Reliability and validity estimates for the Healthy Home Survey were varied, but generally high (0.22–1.00 and 0.07–0.96 respectively), with lower scores noted for perishable foods and policy items (Kappa score and intra-class correlation coefficient). Lower scores were likely related to actual change in the perishable foods present and the subjective nature or clarity of policy questions and response categories. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2383924/ ). The data from the survey has been used by several agencies and published in a variety of professional journals.

International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)

2002

https://sites.google.com/site/theipaq/questionnaire_links

Reliability and validity studies were conducted in 12 countries across 6 continents using standardized methods, and demonstrated reasonable test-retest reliability (intra-class correlations range 0.7–0.8) and inter-method validity (median rho = 0.67), with criterion validity around rho = 0.3 based on comparisons with accelerometer data. Measurement properties were similar to those of other physical activity surveys used in developed countries [12] with the IPAQ offering broader applicability to a wide range of countries and cultures.

National Adult Tobacco Survey (NATS)

2007

http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/surveys/hispanic_latino_ats_guide/pdfs/h_lqxeng.pdf

Drawing on evidence based indicators and outcomes, CDC/OSH developed NATS. Nineteen states implement the survey, primarily to evaluate tobacco control programs.

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Questionnaires (NHANES)

2009-2010

and

2011-2012

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/nhanes2009-2010/questexam09_10.htm

Research organizations, universities, health care providers, and educators benefit from survey information. Primary data users are federal agencies that collaborated in the design and development of the survey. The National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, and CDC are among the agencies that rely upon NHANES to provide data essential for the implementation and evaluation of program activities. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and NCHS cooperate in planning and reporting dietary and nutrition information from the survey. For greater reliability, NHANES guidelines suggest using 2 2-year cycles of data in aggregate. Validity may also be an issue as the majority of the data is self-reported and height, weight, smoking habits, eating habits are often incorrectly reported.

National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Sample Adult

2011

and 2012

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/quest_data_related_1997_forward.htm

Although no numbers were given for reliability and validity, NHIS has greater amounts of both due, in part, to the lack of self-reporting and a larger sample. Sponsored by CDC, data from NHIS is found in National Health Statistics Reports, Vital Statistics, Health E-Stats and linked to NCHS (mortality, Medicare data) and MEPSS.

National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Sample Child

2011 and 2012

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/quest_data_related_1997_forward.htm

Although no numbers were given for reliability and validity, NHIS has greater amounts of both due, in part, to the lack of self-reporting and a larger sample. Sponsored by CDC, data from NHIS is found in National Health Statistics Reports, Vital Statistics, Health E-Stats and linked to NCHS (mortality, Medicare data) and MEPSS.

National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH)

2011

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/slaits/nsch.htm

NSCH is sponsored by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration and has a generally large sample size (n=91,642; 2007). It is part of The State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS) which collects important health care data at State and local levels. This data collection mechanism was developed by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It supplements current national data collection strategies by providing in-depth State and local area data to meet various program and policy needs in an ever-changing health care system.

National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)

2010

NSDUH Questionnaire 2010

Sponsored by SAMSHA, an agency of DHHS. Although no measures of reliability and validity are given, many government agencies, private organizations, individual researchers, and the public at large use NSDUH data. For instance, many state health agencies use NSDUH data to estimate the need for treatment facilities. Other federal, state, and local agencies, such as the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and the U.S. Department of Justice, use the information to support prevention programs and monitor drug control strategies.

North Carolina Public Health Awareness Survey

2001

http://www.schs.state.nc.us/SCHS/brfss/surveys.html

This statewide survey, conducted by the DHHS State Center for Health Statistics, measures North Carolinians’ knowledge, awareness and appreciation for a variety of public health services. The "North Carolina Public Health Awareness Survey" is the first survey of its kind to be conducted in North Carolina, and was funded by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

The survey, conducted between October 29 and December 8, 2001, involved telephone interviews with over 800 respondents. The margin of error is 3% (plus or minus). The survey was conducted as part of a Turning Point grant to the North Carolina Division of Public Health to develop capacity in the areas of communication and marketing. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, based in Princeton, NJ, is the nation’s largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to health and health care.

NYC BRFSS

2005-2009

http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/episrv/chs2002survey.pdf

Justification for using NYC BRFSS mirror using BRFSS. Survey data collection for the added module occurred in 58 geographic areas of New York State, including each of the 57 counties outside of New York City and New York City (5 counties) as a single area. A standard questionnaire was utilized in all areas. Data collection for the 2009 BRFSS took place during the period of July 2008 through June 2009. The goal was to complete about 650 interviews in each area. The final number of interviews varies because of the sampling design of the survey and differential response rates.
