View Award Description

Utah Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS): Impact in Population Health - Utah is one of 15 original states that has participated in monthly data collection since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in 1984. The Utah BRFSS (UT-BRFSS) is part of the Health Survey Program in the Office of Public Assessment (OPHA) at the Utah Department of Health (UDOH). As the state agency responsible for setting policy and developing and implementing programs to ensure quality public health for all its residents, the UDOH is committed to the process of health-related surveillance data collection, analysis, and dissemination to achieve its mission of protecting the public’s health through preventing avoidable illness, injury, disability, and premature death, assuring access to affordable, quality health care, and promoting healthy lifestyles. The UT-BRFSS involves a comprehensive and coordinated effort among multiple internal UDOH programs and external public, private, and community-based partners, many of whom comprise the UT-BRFSS Advisory Committee that advises on annual survey development and other details based on current UDOH and state public health priorities and challenges. The UT-BRFSS conducts the annual Utah BRFSS and the Adult and Child Asthma Call Back surveys at the UDOH’s in-house Survey Center, and has accumulated significant expertise over time in all aspects of organizing, managing, implementing, and conducting these two CDC surveys, in addition to training interviewers, and data processing, analysis, and dissemination. Starting in 1995, the UT-BRFSS introduced changes to ensure the availability of detailed public health surveillance data both at state and sub-state geographic levels. The UT- BRFSS survey sample size was increased to allow for stratification by the state’s 13 Local Health Districts (LHD) and provide LHD estimates approximately every three years. In the past five years, the UT-BRFSS sample size has increased to an annual goal of 12,500 completed interviews and sample design altered to an 80%-20% split between cell phone and land line to reflect changing telephone technology and usage in the U.S. Timely, accurate, and valid health-related behavioral surveillance data is of critical importance to Utah’s public health and health care professionals for monitoring the prevalence of chronic disease and health-risk behaviors and improving population health. This data will also be used to shape and evaluate statewide health prevention efforts toward reducing health disparities, morbidity, and mortality, particularly with respect to upstream factors of poor health such as social determinants of health. The UDOH UT-BRFSS requests renewed CDC funding for the continuation of the vital work to impact the health of all Utah residents.
