Surveys and Surveillance Systems

In this episode of the RD Exam Ready Podcast, we break down the key nutrition surveys and surveillance systems you need to know for exam day. Zak reviews NHANES, What We Eat in America, NHIS, BRFSS, YRBSS, FSANS, TDS, and FLAPS — focusing on their acronyms, populations, and purpose. We’ll highlight how to differentiate between them and then reinforce the material with practice questions to help you apply this knowledge with confidence.

*During this episode I mistakenly call the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System by many wrong names. Please note that whenever I specified Youth, I am referring to the YRBSS.*
