Terms of Clearance:
Previous terms continue: Approved consistent with the understanding that the BRFSS program staff are committed to continue interagency collaboration to improve the performance of sexual orientation and gender identity questions. OMB will assist in making introductions to other programs involved in question development. In addition, when changes to this ICR are limited to modifying existing questions, including those designed to add depth/additional detail and cycle in and out methodological modules that have been used in the past years (with modest updates), CDC will submit these changes as non-substantive changes. However, the addition of new question topics or modules or modifications to the sample will require that CDC submit a full revision of the ICR package to OMB.

Abstract:
The BRFSS is a coordinated system of customized surveys conducted by U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia. Respondents are adults 18 years of age and older. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys are conducted in collaboration with U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia. The surveys will produce state- or sub-state jurisdiction-level data about health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, use of preventive services, and emerging health issues. CDC also creates a national level dataset that is used by HHS to evaluate its progress toward Healthy People 2020 goals and other policy needs. To ensure that BRFSS content is relevant to the current needs of BRFSS partners, CDC updates selected items in the core questionnaire and/or the optional modules on an annual basis. Information collection needs and priorities for 2018 were discussed by CDC and the states at the annual BRFSS partners meeting held March 26-29, 2017. This request is for OMB approval of the 2018 Field Test of new or revised items that are under consideration for use in the 2019 BRFSS.
