"BRFSS: Promoting Healthier, Safer People"
March 24–28, 2007
Holiday Inn Decatur
Decatur, Georgia
You are invited to join us for our 24th 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 24–25. The conference will be held March 26–28.
Since 1984, CDC's Behavior Surveillance Branch has held annual meetings with state coordinators to plan and discuss the BRFSS survey. The BRFSS Conference typically draws 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 provides opportunities for networking among state BRFSS coordinators, data collection contractors, and others interested in surveillance systems.
The purpose of the annual conference is to determine the content of the 2008 BRFSS Survey and update attendees regarding state-of-the-art behavioral risk factor monitoring, methodologies, and technological innovations. This year's conference will feature sessions on the importance and challenges of health surveillance at the state and federal levels, BRFSS's impact on mental health surveillance activities, recent BRFSS research activities on reaching underrepresented groups, scientific publishing of BRFSS data, and effective communication strategies for surveillance data.
The BRFSS Conference typically draws an audience from the entire United States, including U.S. Trust Territories. Attendees include public health professionals from federal, state, and local health agencies, as well as state BRFSS coordinators, field supervisory staff, epidemiologists, and statisticians. The conference provides opportunities for networking among state BRFSS coordinators, data collection contractors, and others interested in surveillance systems.
