Background: In a report released in 

2009, the National Research Council 

warned that efforts to invest in health IT 

would be fruitless unless they were 

aimed at providing better cognitive 

support for physicians, patients and 

their caregivers. As part of an interagency effort to increase the quality and 

utilization of evidence-based consumer 

products for integration into health 

information exchange (HIE) networks, 

the November 2009 Informatics for 

Consumer Health Summit on 

Communication, Collaboration, & 

Quality was convened. This federally 

sponsored summit aimed to: (1) 

Convene leaders across industry to open 

a dialogue for improving health care 

quality through enhanced behavioral 

support for consumers across the health 

care spectrum, (2) develop products, 

including a journal supplement and 

alert service, and (3) foster 

collaborations to integrate evidencebased commercial and non-commercial 

products. 

Following the summit, an online hub 

of consumer health-related resources 

(http://www.InformaticsforConsumer

Health.org) was created to assist public 

and private collaborators in the 

development and dissemination of 

evidence-based, user-centered products 

that will aid providers in clinical 

settings and promote positive health 

behaviors among consumers. The site 

includes evidence-based journal 

articles, Web articles, expert guest blog 

posts, and funding opportunities.

Shortage Area (HPSA). Students are 

supported who are well qualified to 

participate in the NHSC Scholarship 

Program and who want to assist the 

NHSC in its mission, both during and 

after their period of obligated service. 

The NHSC Scholarship Program forms

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention’s Consumer 

Response Service Center, CDC INFO 

(OMB No. 0920–0753 exp. 10/31/2010) 

—Revision—Office for the Associate 

Director of Communication, Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

In September 2005, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention 

launched CDC–INFO, a consolidated, 

comprehensive effort to respond to 

consumer, provider and partner 

inquiries on a broad spectrum of public 

health topics by telephone or e-mail. 

More than 40 nationwide public health 

hotlines and warm lines were 

consolidated into one central phone 

number using a phased approach from 

2005 to 2008. Management of CDC– 

INFO services is increasingly guided by 

a comprehensive evaluation that 

includes point-of-service and follow-up 

customer satisfaction surveys. These 

surveys provide the public with ongoing 

opportunity to express their level of 

satisfaction and report how they have 

used this information. All members of 

the public, health care providers and 

businesses can contact CDC–INFO by 

phone, e-mail, or postal mail to request 

health information or order CDC 

publications. CDC–INFO is a proactive, 

unified, and integrated approach to the 

delivery of public health information 

and is designed to contribute to 

improving the health and safety of the 

public. Customers are defined as any 

individual or group seeking health or 

public health information from CDC. 

This includes the public, media, 

medical and healthcare professionals, 

public health professionals, partner 

groups, businesses, researchers, and 

others. 

The data collected since the approval 

of the original CDC–INFO study have 

been used for assessment of contact 

center performance and customer 

satisfaction. 

This request is for a three year 

extension and revision of the existing 

data collection. Due to budget cuts, the 

following evaluation activities which 

were previously approved will be 

discontinued and are not included in 

the revised request: CDC–INFO Live 

Phone Follow-up Survey, Postcard 

Survey for Single Publication Orders, 

Postcard Survey for Bulk Mailing, Web 

Survey for Internet Publication Orders, 

Web Survey for E–Mailed Publication 

Orders, Customer Representative 

Survey, Special Outreach Surveys 

(General Public), Special Outreach 

Surveys (Professionals), Emergency 

Response Surveys (General Public), 

Emergency Response Surveys 

(Professionals). CDC–INFO will 

continue to offer two of the previously 

approved customer satisfaction surveys. 

The Interactive Voice Response 

Survey—offered in English and Spanish 

and the Web Survey for E–Mail 

Inquirers—offered in English and 

Spanish. Both surveys underwent 

minimal changes. The changes to the 

surveys will allow CDC–INFO to collect 

race/ethnicity data that is consistent 

with the Census form which gives 

participants the opportunity to identify 

as multi-racial. 

Sample size, respondent burden, and 

intrusiveness have been minimized to 

be consistent with national evaluation 

objectives. There is no cost to the 

respondent, other than their time. The 

total estimated annual burden hours are 

6,206.
