  Background
  
  Recognizing the importance of cognitive decline as a public health issue, the CDC Alzheimer’s Disease and Healthy Aging Program, in collaboration with national experts, developed and implemented a module to monitor subjective cognitive decline and its associated effect or burden in the population.
  
  The Cognitive Decline Module was offered for the first time in 2011 as the Cognitive Impairment Module after extensive cognitive testing. From 2011 through 2013, a total of 47 states and territories added the module (as an official optional module in 2011 and as state-added questions in 2012 and 2013). CDC then consulted with data users and convened a panel to revise the module based on feedback. The revised module underwent two rounds of cognitive testing before it was finalized and approved by BRFSS coordinators to be included as an official Optional Module in the 2015 BRFSS.
