Health Survey Program
HSP collects, analyzes, and disseminates survey data relating to health risks, use of preventive services, and the occurrence of chronic disease in Massachusetts. A main activity of the HSP is conducting the Behavioral Risk statewide survey, which provides information on a wide variety of health conditions, health risk factors, and health behaviors. This information is used throughout Massachusetts to target preventive health interventions and to track progress towards the adoption of healthy behaviors among Massachusetts residents. HSP will also provide technical assistance and advice, resources permitting, on health survey development: sample design, survey content, field implementation, and analysis. One goal of HSP will be to better integrate and coordinate existing and planned survey activities through out MDPH.
