SUMMARY
QUALITY CONTROL
REPORT

	BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
	QUALITY CONTROL DOCUMENTATION

This report provides selected statistical indicators which are monitored in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to detect changes in the quality of the data collection procedures used in states.  The value of these indicators is primarily for individual states to identify changes that may occur in their data collection process over time.  When the indicators are below the objectives, it is appropriate to review data collection procedures and determine whether the procedures are optimal.  When there are no evident procedural deficiencies and the quality indicators are stable, not meeting an objective is not an indication of poor quality.  Similarly, it is useful to look at how the indicators differ between states to assess whether data collection procedures are optimal in all states.  However, quality indicators that rank lower in one state than in another do not necessarily mean the quality of the data collection effort is also lower.

Additional tables of quality control indicators include those in   Section 2 comparing demographic characteristics of BRFSS sample data with that of the population for each state, and Section 3 tables showing non-response rates for selected items from the core and module sections.

RESPONSE RATES
The response rate measures the extent to which interviews were completed from among the telephone numbers selected for the sample.  The higher the response rate, the lower the potential will be for bias in the data.

No definitive formula for response rate estimates exists.  The two estimates that are used for BRFSS provide a combination of monitoring information that is useful for program management.  The formulas for each, translated into BRFSS call disposition codes (see page 8), are as follows: 

CASRO: This response rate formula, developed by the Council of American Survey Research Organizations (CASRO), apportions dispositions with unknown eligibility status (ring-no-answer and busy) to dispositions representing eligible respondents in the same proportion as exists among all calls of known status (all other BRFSS call dispositions).  The resulting estimate reflects telephone sampling efficiency as well as the degree of cooperation among eligibles contacted.

	(01+02+07+09)+ (03+05+06+08+11)		

Upper Bound: The most liberal of response rate formulas, the upper bound calculation includes only refusals, terminations, and completed interviews.  The resulting estimate reflects the cooperation of eligibles contacted and is not affected by differences in telephone sampling efficiency.

Because the call-back rules are disregarded during wind-down interviewing (see page 3), total response rates for an interviewing period will not accurately reflect performance under the call-back rules during regular mode interviewing.  Therefore, the response rate estimates included in this report have been calculated using only the records dispositioned during regular mode interviewing.

OTHER IMPORTANT QUALITY CONTROL INDICATORS

Survey Efficiency: The efficiency rate used for BRFSS is the percentage of all numbers called (excluding numbers rejected during Waksberg prescreening) that resulted in completed interviews.  This indicator is directly related to the percent of telephone numbers in the survey area that are assigned to households.  The degree to which interviewers adhere to survey procedures and gain respondent cooperation also affects efficiency.  This percentage should remain static unless there is a change in the phone companies' assignment of phone numbers in the survey area, a change in sampling design, or a substantial change in interviewer performance.

Total Telephone Numbers Used	

Wind-Down: In order to terminate data collection activities within the allotted time period each month, wind-down procedures (i.e., suspension of the call-back rules) may be necessary with Waksberg sampling.  Wind-down is permitted once 95% of the sample has been completed.  Each interview completed in the wind-down mode should be coded as such.  Generally, if the percentage of wind-down interviews is greater than five percent, the survey supervisor is going into wind-down too early.  The greater the proportion of interviews completed in wind-down mode, the greater the potential for bias in the survey results.  This is because data collected during wind-down are reflective only of those respondents who are easiest to reach.  Respondents who are more difficult to reach may differ significantly from those who are easier to reach.

Refused Interview: The percentage of refusals of total numbers called in a given interviewing period is an indicator of both interviewer performance and degree of potential bias in the survey data.  Ten percent1 refusals or less is a generally accepted standard.  

Ring-No-Answer: The percentage of ring-no-answers reflects how many attempts are made and with what time variation on unanswered phone numbers.  The objective for ring-no-answers is 10%1 or less of total numbers called.  States that exceed this percentage may not be following prescribed call-back procedures or may be using this disposition inappropriately as a final disposition for a selected respondent who was not interviewed.

Selected Respondent Not Available During the Interviewing Period: This disposition is used most often in wind-down and therefore reflects the proportion of calling done during wind-down.  It also reflects the diligence of efforts to contact selected respondents whose availability is limited.  The objective for this disposition is 3%1 or less of total numbers called.  Those states that exceed this percentage may need to extend the number of days they interview during the month.

Line Busy: This disposition should be infrequent.  The objective is 0.3%1 or less.  A higher percentage than 0.3 may indicate that call-back procedures are not being carefully followed or that this disposition is being used inappropriately as a final disposition for a selected respondent who was not interviewed.

1Because this percentage is affected by the efficiency of the sampling methodology (i.e., by the number of nonworking and nonresidential dispositions  in the denominator), comparisons between surveys with different sampling methods may not be meaningful.  However, for a particular survey, month-to-month and year-to-year changes in this percentage are important to monitor.

Variation in Cluster Size: Variation in size of clusters in Waksberg-Mitofsky designs is an indirect indicator of how the sampling design was implemented.  Percentages of records with a cluster size of three are shown for states using Waksberg-Mitofsky designs.

Monitoring Capability: BRFSS protocol specifies that systematic, unobtrusive electronic monitoring be a routine and integral part of monthly survey procedures for all interviewers.  Monitoring is considered a valuable tool for training and achieving uniform questionnaire administration, resulting in less bias in the data set.  Monitoring of interviewers can provide quick information on features of the respondent recruitment and questioning process that needs improvement.  Monitoring capability information is shown for all states as of December,1997.

OTHER DATA QUALITY MEASURES

BRFSS is developing a quality profile, which is a compendia of all known information about the quality of the data, including aspects of sampling error, coverage, nonresponse, and other indicators of quality.  Tables in Section 2 present information on the discrepancy between sample data and population estimates for gender, race, and age.  In these tables, the sample data percentage is based upon data weighted by the variable WT1, composed of number of telephones, size of household, and geographic and density stratification.  The rationale for using the weighted data is that the factors which go into it are deliberate features of the sample design.  Thus, any differences between the raw and WT1 percentages are not considered as bias.

Respondent Sex Distribution: Survey samples with a respondent sex distribution that differs substantially from the population distribution in the survey area may produce biased estimates of risk factor prevalences.  A distribution substantially skewed toward females relative to the population surveyed (after adjusting for probability of selection due to number of telephone and number of adults in households) suggests that interviewers may not be interviewing randomly selected respondents.

Respondent Race Distribution: Survey samples with a respondent race distribution that differs substantially from the population distribution in the survey area may produce biased estimates of risk factor prevalences.  The discrepancy between the percentage Non-white in the sample and the percentage Non-White in the population is an indicator of racial bias of the sample.  The percentage Non-White in the sample is, however, affected by large interstate differences in the protocol for coding the race of Hispanics.  For example, Texas and Idaho coded Hispanics as Other race unless they identified themselves as belonging to one of the standard categorical races the first time they were asked the question.  New Mexico, by contrast, probed for one of the standard race categories.  Finally, California coded the race of Hispanics as White unless they identified themselves as belonging to one of the other standard races the first time they were asked the question.  These differences in protocol significantly affect the percentage Non-white in states with large Hispanic populations and can introduce substantial bias in the race-specific risk factor prevalences for these areas.

Respondent Age Distribution: The discrepancy between the percentage in specific age groups in the sample and the corresponding percentage in the population is an indicator of the age bias of the sample.  An age distribution that differs substantially from the population distribution in the survey area may produce biased estimates of risk factor prevalences, particularly since many characteristics of individuals are substantially affected by age.  For example, younger persons tend to be healthier than those who are older.  Such a discrepancy also suggests that interviewers may not be interviewing randomly selected respondents.

Item Nonresponse: Item non-response rates from completed interviews for selected items from the core questions have been calculated by state, and are shown in Section 3.  The assumption is that these measures are an indication of overall interviewing and/or coding quality. The percentages shown are based upon the number of responses coded as missing or refused.  On the questionnaire, the code 9 is generally listed as refused, but this code may capture some responses that were supposed to be answered, but for some reason were not, and appeared as a blank or other missing value symbol.  These cases have been coded as 9 in order to meet the constraints of processing CATI and editing programs.  It is important to note that any survey will have natural variation over sample sites; therefore, some variation between states is to be expected.  In evaluating possible measurement error stemming from variation in item missing data rates across states, the goal is to identify outliers in the distribution of the indicators.

Interpretation of summary statistics

Some of the tables in Section 3 contain Z-scores. Z-scores indicate how many standard deviations values are from the mean, and are one way of assessing the location of a case in a distribution.  Standardization permits comparison of the scores from different distributions (e.g. states).  Observations below the mean have a negative z-score.  As a general guide, z-scores falling outside the -2.0 to 2.0 range can be considered extreme values, and indicate possible problems in the item.
