You are invited to join us for our 23rd Annual Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Conference. This conference will showcase the successful application of BRFSS data by state-based programs such as diabetes, cancer prevention, tobacco and alcohol use prevention, family planning, nutrition and physical activity, and oral health. Training will be conducted March 18–19. The conference will be held March 20–22.

The purpose of the annual conference is to determine the content of the 2007 BRFSS Survey and update attendees regarding state-of-the-art behavioral risk factor monitoring, methodologies, and technological innovations.

Since 1984, CDC's Behavior Surveillance Branch has held annual meetings with state coordinators to plan and discuss the BRFSS survey. Typical attendees include survey coordinators, field supervisory staff, epidemiologists, and others from all over the United States interested in the administration and analysis of BRFSS data. The conference will provide opportunities for networking among state BRFSS coordinators, data collection contractors, and others interested in surveillance systems.
