                         Survey of NHLBI Constituents' Health Information Needs and Preferred Formats.

The Consumer Services Team (CST) will use the data collected in this survey to create a 3-year Strategic Plan. The findings from the survey, described in the Strategic Plan, will be used to develop new health information materials for NHLBI constituents and to revise materials currently in the Institute's portfolio.
