Your Role Is Critical
 Because
interviewing every person in your state would not be economically feasible,
the people you will be calling are among a small, scientifically selected
group called a sample. The information obtained from the sample can be used
to generalize results to the total statewide, even nationwide, population.
Numbers that have been collected and analyzed are called statistics. The
most accurate health statistics come straight from the source—real people,
some of whom are engaging in risky behaviors that harm their well-being. Therefore, one
of the most important jobs in the BRFSS process is yours—the interviewer.
It is you, after all, who will play a pivotal role by recording information
from the people you talk to during telephone interviews.
