WARFS is the Global Working Group on Surveillance of the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE). It supports the development of behavioural risk factor surveillance (BRFS) as a tool for evidence-based public health, acknowledging the importance of this information source to inform, monitor and evaluate disease prevention and health promotion policies, services and interventions. WARFS aims to 

• Integrate social and behavioural risk factor surveillance as a tool into the
  mainstream of health promotion work;
• Finalise the definition and conceptual framework of BRFS that can be shared and disscussed globally;
• Serve as a reference for researchers, BRFS practitioners, and countries that are developing BRFS; and
• Share findings, results and experiences with the IUHPE community and the general public health field to facilitate the discussion regarding the role of BRFS.
