Just called. Caller ID says Lincoln NE. After reading thru the posts and being from NE, UNMC is not even in Lincoln (which 471 is a Lincoln prefix). UNMC is in Omaha. Obviously this is a scam call and I will block them.
Very aggravated by this caller at this number 402-471-1671 They asked me if they could talk to oldest male in the household and in return asked my spouse personal questions then started asking very sexual questions to which he hung up. It was distastful and uncalled for.
This survey helps to determine how federal funds are spent - it identifies how health behaviors are related to different diseases and disabilities. If you ever see on the TV that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says, "X% of people have high blood pressure / diabetes / etc," this information is likely coming from this survey. It also helps healcare providers improve services, programs, and education locally as well as state wide.
Information and copies of the surveys can be found at : www.cdc.gov/brfss
I recieved a phone call from this number asking to speak to an adult male 18yrs or old to take a survey. When I told the person on the other line that the state of Nebraska does not concider a 18yr old an adult and refused to let my son partake. She insisted that I put him on the phone. That basically I had too. If I am by law responsible for my son's actions until he is 18yrs old then I shouldn't be FORCED to place him on the phone. When I told the woman no for the 7th time she said "Oh my God!!" then hung up the phone. This is unprofessional in every possible way. THE STATE OF NEBRASKA DOES NOT CONCIDER A 18YR OLD AN ADULT!!!
