Withdrawn per
discussion with CDC. An updated change request will be resubmitted
once changes have been made. Previous terms continue: Approved
consistent with the understanding that the BRFSS program staff are
committed to continue interagency collaboration to improve the
performance of sexual orientation and gender identity questions.
OMB will assist in making introductions to other programs involved
in question development. In addition, when changes to this ICR are
limited to modifying existing questions, including those designed
to add depth/additional detail and cycle in and out methodological
modules that have been used in the past years (with modest
updates), CDC will submit these changes as non-substantive changes.
However, the addition of new question topics or modules or
modifications to the sample will require that CDC submit a full
revision of the ICR package to OMB.

The BRFSS is a coordinated system of
customized surveys conducted by U.S. states, territories, and the
District of Columbia. Respondents are adults 18 years of age and
older. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys
are conducted in collaboration with U.S. states, territories, and
the District of Columbia. The surveys will produce state- or
sub-state jurisdiction-level data about health-related risk
behaviors, chronic health conditions, use of preventive services,
and emerging health issues. CDC also creates a national level
dataset that is used by HHS to evaluate its progress toward Healthy
People 2020 goals and other policy needs. To ensure that BRFSS
content is relevant to the current needs of BRFSS partners, CDC
updates selected items in the core questionnaire and/or the
optional modules on an annual basis. Information collection needs
and priorities for 2019 were discussed by CDC and the states at the
annual BRFSS partners meeting held in April of 2018. This request
is for OMB approval of the new or revised items that are under
consideration for use in the 2019 BRFSS.
Submission of the
Non-Substantive Change Request for 0920-1061 BRFSS Field Test. The
