Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-5960 or send an e-mail
to [email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-
5806. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this
notice.
Proposed Project
The Outcome Evaluation of the CDC National Prevention Information
Network (NPIN, formerly known as the National AIDS Clearinghouse, OMB
No. 0920-0768) --- Revision--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCHHSTP has the primary responsibility within the CDC and the U.S.
Public Health Service for the prevention and control of HIV infection,
viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and tuberculosis
(TB), as well as for community-based HIV prevention activities,
syphilis, and TB elimination programs. NPIN serves as the U.S.
reference, referral, and distribution service for information on HIV/
AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB, supporting NCHHSTP's mission to
link Americans to prevention, education, and care services. NPIN is a
critical member of the network of government agencies, community
organizations, businesses, health professionals, educators, and human
services providers that educate the American public about the grave
threat to public health posed by HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and
TB. NPIN provides the most comprehensive listing of HIV/AIDS, viral
hepatitis, STD, and TB resources and services for prevention partners
and the American public throughout the country and makes it available
on the NPIN Web site. More than 29 million hits to the Web site are
recorded annually.
To accomplish CDC's goal of consistently improving NPIN's Web site,
and NPIN's other products and services, and meet the ever-growing needs
of the prevention professionals, prevention partners, and the general
public, it is necessary to collect feedback from visitors to the NPIN
Web site and the users of NPIN's products and services on a on-going
basis. Every effort has been made to minimize the burden on prevention
professionals and the general public.
Evaluation Method and Recruitment
The evaluation will be accomplished by survey data collection from
two groups--users of the NPIN Web site and users of NPIN products and
services. Respondents for each survey will include representatives from
government agencies, community-based organizations, advocacy
organizations, various other organizations involved in the prevention
and/or treatment of HIV/AIDS, STDs, TB, and/or viral hepatitis, and the
general public. The NPIN Web site user survey will be conducted on an
ongoing basis via the Web site and a blast e-mail reminder will be sent
out annually. The NPIN products and services user survey will be
conducted on a bi-annual basis with a blast email sent out every 6
months. When appropriate, NPIN will distribute the surveys at
conferences and via social networks. Some of the NPIN Web site user
surveys and the NPIN products and services surveys will be conducted
over the phone as needed, which will be kept to an absolute minimum.
The information collected from the surveys is not intended to
provide statistical data for publication. The purpose of this activity
is solely to obtain user feedback that will help identify opportunities
to improve the services and products provided to the public by NPIN and
to ultimately allow NPIN to fulfill its mission.
Collecting the information described in this package allows NPIN
to:
Acquire accurate, up-to-date information from users of the
NPIN Web site, and other products and services on a regular basis and
in a timely manner.
Identify the service needs of NPIN users and implement new
features to meet those needs.
Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the NPIN Web
site, and others products and services.
Collect data using a consistent format.
Comply with requirements under the Public Health Service
Act, Executive Order 12862, and GPRA.
Provide the highest quality products and services to NPIN
users.
Without this information collection, CDC will be hampered in
successfully carrying out its mission of providing quality products and
services to populations served. Failure to continue with our data
collection effort would compromise efforts to meet the legislative
requirement of being as responsive as possible to the public who
consistently seek information about the prevention and treatment of
HIV/AIDS, STDS, TB, and viral hepatitis. Moreover, it would diminish
NPIN's value to the public in terms of usability and credibility as a
comprehensive Federal information and education resource. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 342.
