Proposed Project: Collection of Publication Assessment
Information--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
This project will collect information from Internet users after
they order or download a publication from the website of the Department
of Health and Human Services/Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention/National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. NCIPC
produces a variety of publications about injury prevention for a range
of audiences, from public health professionals to the general public.
Publications include reports to Congress, fact books, brochures,
research articles, tool kits, and books. Most of these publications are
available to the general public, and the chief distribution method is
through the NCIPC website, http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc. On the website,
people can order print copies or view electronic copies of the
publications.
It is critical for NCIPC to obtain feedback from users of their
publications so it can better understand who uses them and how. This
will help guide the development of future publications, revisions of
current ones, as well as distribution of publications. As part of the
effort to gain understanding about the audiences of NCIPC publications,
we will collect information through a web-based form. NCIPC website
users will have the opportunity to fill out the form after
[[Page 47580]]
ordering, downloading, or reading online publications through the
website. The form contains questions about the demographic background
of the users, how they found the website, how they plan to use the
publication, their need for publications in other languages, the degree
to which the publication offerings were useful to them, and space for
their general comments. The results of the forms will be compiled and
studied so NCIPC can better consider the needs of people who use the
publications in future publication development, revisions, and
distribution plans. There are no costs to respondents.
