Mahaska County Human Service in Oskaloosa, IA conducts the Iowa Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a telephone survey of randomly selected adult Iowans to collect data on health behaviors contributing to leading causes of death and chronic disease. The survey, initiated in 1988, is a vital public health tool used by federal, state, and local health authorities to identify health problems, design interventions, and measure progress towards health goals.
The Iowa BRFSS covers topics such as chronic disease prevalence, risk behaviors, demographics, health care access, and preventive behaviors. All interviewers are trained on CDC protocols and state the purpose of the call when contacting randomly selected adult Iowans for participation in the survey.
