South Carolina Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) - Nearly year-round, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) participates in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)--the world's largest continuously conducted health survey system in the world. The BRFSS is a random telephone survey of non-institutionalized individuals aged 18 and older that is used to track health risks, behaviors and preventative health practices in the United States. South Carolina has been administering the BRFSS since 1984. The basic philosophy is to collect data on actual behaviors that would be especially useful for planning, initiating, supporting and evaluating health promotion and disease prevention programs.
