Overview
In this section, you will learn about the interviewing process, the "nuts
and bolts" of what you will be doing as a BRFSS interviewer. You will first
be introduced to the entire BRFSS process, from the time a yearly
questionnaire is developed to the time when the data you collect are
published. You’ll see why it’s important to try to contact people at
different times of the day and different times of the week. Then you will go
step-by-step through CATI, the computer system that you’ll be using to
conduct interviews. Lastly, you will learn about the measures that are taken
to assure the quality of BRFSS data.
After completing this section, you will be able to do the following:
- Understand how data collection fits into the entire BRFSS process.
