Join us in Atlanta, Georgia, for the 19th Annual BRFSS Conference. The conference will be held at the Sheraton Buckhead Hotel, March 11 to March 14, 2002. The conference is large enough to address a broad range of interests, yet small enough to enable participants to meet the speakers and network with other participants.
