Lincoln, NE — The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) invites residents to participate in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey, a vital effort to improve health across the state by gathering critical insights into the health and well-being of Nebraskans.
What is the BRFSS Survey?
BRFSS is a nationwide phone survey that collects valuable information about health, risk factors, and healthcare access. Topics include chronic disease, mental health, physical activity, and others. Thousands of Nebraskans share their experiences each year, helping shape public health programs that benefit communities across the state.
Why Participate?
Your response helps:
- Identify Health Trends – Provide crucial data to guide public health decisions.
- Address Local Health Needs – Help highlight concerns unique to your community.
- Improve Healthcare and Prevention – Shape programs that enhance health and well-being.
- Protect Your Privacy – All responses are completely confidential.
How to Participate?
The survey is conducted throughout the year. If you receive a call from a trained interviewer on behalf of the Nebraska DHHS, please take a moment to share your input—it truly makes a difference!
A typical call begins with, "Hello, I'm calling for the Nebraska Department of Health. My name is [interviewer's name]. We're gathering health information from U.S. residents. This project is conducted with assistance from the CDC. Your phone number was randomly selected, and I'd like to ask you some health-related questions."
Your participation helps improve healthcare, prevention, and education for all Nebraskans. If you get a call, please consider taking the survey!
