2. NC 2003 BRFSS Graham/Swain/Jackson History of the BRFSS Survey Developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state health departments in the early 1980s in response to the need for: 1. on-going assessment of adult health-risk behaviors and health practices; 2. provision of state and regional (and now county) estimates for targeting high-risk groups. It is the largest and longest running telephone health survey in the world.

6. NC 2003 BRFSS Graham/Swain/Jackson The 2003 North Carolina BRFSS For the 2003 survey, the North Carolina BRFSS Program conducted interviews in both English and Spanish and interviewed a total of 9,455 adults. The 2003 sample design included over-sampling of five counties and 12 regions consisting of more than 50 smaller counties to produce county or regional BRFSS estimates. In addition, estimates were produced for three, broad regions of the state: Western, Piedmont, and Eastern. The 2003 results for each question are available on the BRFSS web site by sex, race, Hispanic origin and language (English, Spanish-only), age group, education level, household income, and county and region. The 2003 data provide estimates on the health of Native Americans and Spanish-speaking only Hispanics, see: www.schs.state.nc.us/SCHS/healthstats/brfss /2003/highlights.html

7. NC 2003 BRFSS Graham/Swain/Jackson Weighting the BRFSS Data BRFSS data are directly weighted for the probability of selection of a telephone number, the number of adults (18+ yrs.) in a household, and the number of phones in a household. Additional weights are developed for non-coverage, i.e. households with no telephones, and for differences between the sample characteristics and the state population characteristics. A final weight is assigned to each respondent so that the weighted proportion and weighted number of respondents by sex, age, and race matches the state population. Note: all results are based on weighted data

8. NC 2003 BRFSS Graham/Swain/Jackson Standard BRFSS Data Collection Methods Ongoing monthly telephone interviews using random digit dialing Computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) Probability sampling of noninstitutionalized adults (18+ years) in households with telephones

9. NC 2003 BRFSS Graham/Swain/Jackson The BRFSS Questionnaire Standard Core Questions Required by CDC and asked every year by all participants. Rotating Core Questions Required by CDC and asked every other year by all participants. Emerging Core Questions Required by CDC and asked every one time by all participants. Optional Modules offered and supported by CDC Included if sponsored by state programs/agencies. State-Added Questions Developed and sponsored by state programs/agencies.

11. NC 2003 BRFSS Graham/Swain/Jackson About this 2003 BRFSS Slide Presentation Objectives: (1) promote BRFSS data use and dissemination by North Carolina public health professionals; and (2) by mixing or selecting specific slides, presentations may be tailored or modified to suit the needs of the county/presenter. Talking points: slides include talking points to help with interpretation of the results. Survey questions: the BRFSS survey questions are quoted verbatim in the talking points. Nationwide data: for core topics, nationwide estimates (means) are provided for comparison. Calculations: only weighted data are presented and all unknowns/refusals are excluded from calculations.

12. NC 2003 BRFSS Graham/Swain/Jackson About this 2002 BRFSS Presentation (cont.) Cautionary Notes: –These results need to be viewed as estimates and not the actual or true value of the outcome of interest. –With any estimate based on a random sample, there is a margin of error. For the 16 oversampled counties and regions the margin of error is about 5% if the question was asked of all respondents. This means that we can expect the true value to lie somewhere between the sample estimate plus or minus 5 percent. –When county results are subset by age or race, for example, the margin of error increases as a function of the resulting smaller sample size. –Use caution when comparing the results across counties, as the margin of error may not be the same for all counties.
