The National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center, in partnership with the American Society on Aging, will host a webinar on using BRFSS data. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a nationally representative survey of states and territories in the United States. The BRFSS is used to collect data about U.S. adults regarding their health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions and use of preventive services. Results of the BRFSS have been used to develop health promotion activities across the country. States can leverage findings from the BRFSS cognitive decline and caregiver modules to influence changes in their long-term services and supports systems, and to educate decision makers.
Participants in this web seminar will be able to:
- Discuss the BRFSS’ background, purpose, and types of data collected;
- Describe the BRFSS cognitive decline and caregiver modules and their purpose; and,
- List ways to translate BRFSS data into outcome-oriented actions.
Please note, complimentary CEUs are available through this webinar. In addition, the webinar will be recorded and available for viewing at nadrc.acl.gov.
This webinar will take place on June 20, 2017 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET.
