Which BRFSS option lists the data on behaviors such as seatbelt use, physical activity, smoking, and screening?

• A. BRFSS collects data on environmental pollutants only.
• B. BRFSS collects data on social determinants of health.
• C. BRFSS collects data on lifestyle behaviors.
• D. BRFSS collects data on behaviors such as seatbelt use, physical activity, smoking, and screening.

Answer: (D)

The key idea here is understanding what BRFSS collects: health-related behaviors and preventive health services. BRFSS is designed to monitor how people behave in ways that affect their health and how often they participate in preventive screenings. The description that lists seatbelt use, physical activity, smoking, and screening fits this focus exactly, because it names concrete behaviors and preventive actions the survey tracks. This makes it the best match for BRFSS data.

The other options point to things outside BRFSS’s main scope. Environmental pollutants pertain to environmental health monitoring, social determinants of health cover broader factors that influence health but aren’t the primary BRFSS behavior data, and “lifestyle behaviors” is too vague and doesn’t explicitly include screening, which BRFSS explicitly measures.
