(3) The sample for direct purchase must be generated at the same time as the BSB provided sample; and the direct purchase sample and the BSB purchased files must be sent at the same time and be in the same specified format. The state needs to request that Genesys provide BSB with information (eg. replicate number) which will identify which records were purchased by BSB and which records were direct purchase. (4) The state is responsible for developing a procedure for paying the sample provider for the state-purchased sample and for providing consent to Genesys to provide a copy of the sample records to BSB. (5) Additional state-purchased sample needs to be ordered for the start of new quarter. If purchasing sample directly from Genesys, we ask that you notify SOS by the following dates so that BSB-purchased sample orders can be generated and arrangements made with Genesys to send all sample records for a state to SOS. Luann Rhodes is the SOS sample manager ( or 770-488-2484).
If a state increases their target completes and purchases sample for this purpose, BSB will only be able to supply sample for the original targeted completes for any quarter after the state increases their target. If the state is unable to reach the new target complete level, SOS will not provide any additional BSB-purchased sample since SOS will not be able to determine what portion of any non-attained level is from the BSB purchase versus state purchase. SOS will process as part of the state BRFSS file all records generated from state-purchase or BSB purchase so long as the above procedures are followed.
