The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention proposes to conduct continual national evaluation of the agency's Consumer Response Services Center called CDC-INFO. CDC-INFO is a proactive, unified, and integrated approach to the delivery of public health information. CDC-INFO 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. Customer interactions occur through multiple channels, e.g., telephone calls, e-mails, and postal mail and may occur in Spanish or English.
US Code:
42 USC 241
Name of Law: Section 301 - Part A - Research and Investigation
This is a new information collection. The proposed study and attendant data collection activities will help support CDC in achieving its information dissemination objective "to ensure consistent, timely, reliable health information is disseminated to meet the needs of a evolving diversity of consumers (public, health professionals, researchers, etc.) and to address variations in inquiry volumes related to public health emergencies, news events, and dynamic, shifting public health priorities" (CDC-INFO Request for Funding Announcement). Providing a full complement of information support for CDC-INFO, the new "one face to the public" will require a comprehensive, multi-phased system of quality assurance, performance monitoring and impact evaluation. This evaluation will provide CDC with information about the effectiveness of CDC-INFO.
