About the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)

The Missouri Department of Health conducts ongoing surveillance with the assistance of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Department staff randomly call about 4,200 Missourians during the year and request participation in the BRFSS. Interviewers ask questions related to health behaviors, screening, quality of life, mental health, impairment and access to health care and insurance.

For more information about any of these health topics or about the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, contact the local public health agency in your county. Additional information is available from the Missouri Department of Health, Division of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at (573)522-2800.
