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 Collectors’ 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
