Proposed Project
Customer Surveys Generic Clearance for the National Center for
Health Statistics--New-National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
As part of a comprehensive program, the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) plans to assess its customers' satisfaction with the
quality and relevance of the information it produces. NCHS will conduct
voluntary customer surveys to assess strengths in agency products and
services. Results of these surveys will be used in future planning
initiatives. This is a request for a generic approval from OMB to
conduct customer surveys over the next three years.
The data will be collected using a combination of methodologies
appropriate to each survey. These may include: Evaluation forms, mail
surveys, focus groups, automated and electronic technology (e.g., e-
mail, Web-based surveys), and telephone surveys. Systematic surveys of
several groups will be folded into the program. Among these are Federal
customers and policy makers, state and local officials who rely on NCHS
data, the broader educational, research, and public health community,
and other data users. The 2006 surveys will include: (1) A self-
selected broad-based group of data users who register for and/or attend
NCHS sponsored conferences and (2) all persons who access the NCHS Web
site. Data items will include (in broad categories) information
regarding an individual's gender, age, occupation, affiliation,
location, etc. The proposed questions will attempt to obtain
information that will characterize the respondents' familiarity with
and use of NCHS data, their assessment of usefulness, general
satisfaction with available services and products, and suggestions for
improvement of services and products. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to participate in the survey. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 547.
