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.
This Change Request is to request approval for revisions to the 2024 BRFSS Questionnaire and Data Collectorsâ Protocol for use in the 2024 BRFSS. Specifically, for the following changes:
1. Approval for minor changes in the 2024 Core Questionnaire, including changes in wording (Landline Introduction, Cell Phone Introduction, Health Care Access).
2. Approval for changes in optional modules, including minor changes in wording and/or response options and adding new questions (Caregiver, Arthritis/Healthy Aging, Family Planning, Social Determinants and Health Equity).
3. Approval of changes to the 2024 Calling Protocol and Dispositions.
No increases are anticipated in burden estimate, as provided in the 2023 OMB review. Given the number of core questions and questions from optional modules provided for state use, it is likely that respondent burden will be lower than anticipated by preapproved estimates.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
