2 Introduction The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Pennsylvania Department of Health began the Pennsylvania Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in The BRFSS survey consists of telephone interviews using randomly generated telephone numbers to determine the households contacted. The survey contains a core set of questions provided by CDC to gather comprehensive, standard information nationwide. The questions asked concern health status, access to health care, health awareness, use of preventive health services, and knowledge and attitude assessment. In an effort to provide local BRFSS data, the Pennsylvania Department of Health instituted the Pennsylvania BRFSS Over Sampling Program in Participation in the program was open to Pennsylvania s State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) affiliated partnerships located statewide. Eight partnerships chose to participate in the 2003 program: Blair County Health & Welfare Council, Elk County Family Resource Network, Healthy Adams County, Healthy York County Coalition, Huntingdon County Healthy Communities Partnership, Lycoming County Health Improvement Coalition, Collaborative Board, and Schuylkill County s Vision. These partnerships were given the opportunity to select 56 questions of their choice in addition to the core questions asked by all who participated in BRFSS. The survey of adults living in asked questions about health and health-related behaviors including general health, health care access, exercise, asthma, diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, immunization, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and arthritis. This allows for some comparison of the county survey results to state results and it also allows the county to get data specific to its individual needs.
