This webinar (1:33:14 minutes) discusses the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) which is a caregiver module that identifies the relationship to the care recipient and collects key information in a very brief concise fashion related to caregiving. There are three presentations included in this webinar. Phil Echevarria discusses BRFSS's impact on New Jersey and the caregiving data and how it has influenced policy change in New Jersey. Jana Pastir discusses how North Dakota has used the Subjective Cognitive Decline caregiver modules to enhance other chronic disease programs. Lastly, John Beilenson discusses messaging with the use of data to promote action around public health and dementia caregiving. Presentation slides are available for download.
