Florida Office on Disability & Health

The Florida Office on Disability and Health currently is conducting two web-based surveys. The purpose of these surveys is to collect more information from and about people with a disability of all ages living in Florida. These surveys are based on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a telephone survey administered in all US states and territories and overseen by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Like the BRFSS, the Florida Office on Disability and Health web surveys include questions about health behaviors, access to health care, and preventive health practices.

On many standard surveys, including the BRFSS, only adults who can respond for themselves are eligible to participate. Our web surveys allow people with communication disabilities to complete the survey online. They also allow parents and other caregivers to complete the survey on behalf of a child or someone with a cognitive disability who cannot respond for himself.

The data collected through the web surveys will be used to describe health needs and health disparities between Floridians with and without disabilities, to set priorities for future data collection efforts, and to create or support policies that improve the health and well being of Floridians with disabilities.
