collection is approved with the condition that CDC understand that
while this survey will reveal useful information regarding the
population of callers, it will not allow CDC to assess t
effectiveness of either its number promotion efforts in general or
of particular publicity channels. Without a more rigorous analysis,
CDC cannot make the baseline assumption that calls should
necessarily be distributed across geographic, socioeconomic and
demographic boundarie in the same proportion as is the targetted
population or the assumptio that if a certain subset of the
population makes proportionally fewer calls, that that subset is
not being reached by CDC's publicity effort
