Overview
There is a saying, “What gets measured gets done.” Public health works
this way, too. But before we can improve the public’s health and save
lives, we need information from the public—we need to collect it,
analyze it, and measure it. Only then can we do something about it.
As a BRFSS interviewer, you will be on the front lines of the public health
crusade because you are handling the first step: collecting information.
This online training module will show you how to do this and will help you
improve your skills as an interviewer.
In section 1, you will learn more about three steps:
- Collecting
Information: Why your job is so important
- Analyzing and Measuring Information: How the data you collect are used
- Making Positive Changes: How your data can save lives
