Proposed Project
Focus Group Testing and Survey on
Radiological Event Messages for Public
Health Workers—New—National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In January 2003, CDC held a
roundtable to specifically address
communications needs likely to arise in
the aftermath of a terrorist event
involving mass casualties. Hospital
administrators and clinicians, public
health practitioners, and emergency
planners emphasized the gaps in their
training and in their knowledge of how
to respond to nuclear or radiological
events.
Concurrent with this, CDC began
working with the Association of Schools

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 65 / Thursday, April 5, 2007 / Notices
of Public Health (ASPH) to assess
knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors
related to preparedness for a
radiological or nuclear terrorist event in
the United States. The strong and clear
message delivered to the CDC was that
both the professional (e.g., clinicians
and public health workers) and the lay
American public were unprepared to
respond to such an event (Becker 2004).
Specifically, clinicians who participated
in the research acknowledged a lack of
training and preparedness, a potential
unwillingness to treat patients if they
are perceived as radiologically
contaminated, and concerns about
public panic and consequent
overwhelming of hospitals and other
clinical systems. More importantly,
findings from the meeting revealed a
critical need to assess communication
preparedness among public health
workers in relation to radiological
emergencies.
This proposal addresses the need for
the development of clear
communication messages in the event of
a radiological incident. As part of a
cooperative agreement, CDC has
contracted with the National Public
Health Information Coalition (NPHIC) to
collect data from public health workers
in 6 states—California, Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan, North Carolina and South
Carolina—to evaluate a set of messages
that have been developed by CDC for
public health workers to use before,
during and after a radiological event.
The 5 communication messages focus
on the main concerns expressed by

representatives from these 6 states and
other participants in audience research.
The participating states volunteered for
this project. Public health workers
referenced in this proposal are nurses,
physicians, clinical technicians,
administrative, management and
support staff and epidemiologists.
CDC’s primary goal is to protect the
health and safety of the public. Since
public health workers are usually first
responders in various capacities in the
event of a radiological emergency, the
need to develop time-sensitive and
consistent communication messages is
vital. Developing clear messages that
can be used by public health workers as
an integral part of their radiological
emergency plan is consistent with this
goal. These message concepts, which
range from how to protect the worker
and family to the role of the public
health worker during a radiological
emergency will serve as a reference tool
and guidance for state health
departments in the event of such
situations.
This proposal seeks approval to
obtain data using two methods—focus
group testing and electronic surveys—to
achieve greater results. Focus group
testing will be conducted to obtain
qualitative data that will be gathered
through a series of six focus groups of
public health workers, one in each
participating state. Each focus group
will consist of 12 participants to equal
72 respondents, and will be about 11⁄2
hour in length. The focus group testing
will assess attitudes, knowledge and

emotional response. Of particular
interest will be how the participants
might react to radiological concepts
pertaining to their roles as public health
workers and scenarios that will be
included in the messages. Quantitative
data will be obtained through a one-time
electronic survey to randomly selected
public health workers in the six states
to equal 2,022 respondents. The
participants who will be participating in
the electronic survey will not be
included in the focus group testing.
CDC proposes to use this information
to develop a final set of communication
messages. The intent is for the messages
to be disseminated using various
methods and to provide a more
consistent platform for states to respond
to radiological emergencies. This
research will help refine messages that
have the ability to increase the
percentage of workers who present to
deliver services in a radiological
emergency. Also, as a result of the
study, CDC will have a set of tested
public health messages that can allow
public health workers to speak with one
voice to the general public in a
radiological emergency. In addition, the
development of these messages will
foster collaboration among the states
and CDC.
Therefore CDC requests approval to
test one set of five messages among
public health workers using focus group
testing and electronic surveys. There are
no costs to respondents except their
time to participate in the survey.
