CDC’s Cervical Cancer Study (Cx3 Study)

Follow-up Clinic Survey – [month, 200x]

Your clinic is one of 18 Illinois clinics serving National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) patients that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have selected for participation in CDC’s Cx3 Study. We would like you to complete this survey on behalf of your clinic. The survey is being conducted for CDC by the Battelle Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation.

This survey asks a series of questions regarding your clinic’s patient population, as well as the staff time associated with participating in the CDC’s Cx3 Study. Your answers will provide valuable information to the CDC regarding their role in providing cervical cancer screening to NBCCEDP women.

Key points:

• This survey has been sent to each of the 18 clinics participating in the Cx3 Study. We need responses from every clinic to make this important study valid.

• You will be asked to complete a similar survey each month for the first year of the project.

• All information provided will be kept private and will not be disclosed to anyone except the researchers conducting the study. Responses will be reported only in summary form, combined with responses from the other participating clinics.

• Battelle will maintain a tracking file to link names with participant ID numbers for tracking survey mailings and linking your responses to all follow-up surveys. Once data collection is complete, the tracking file will be destroyed and there will be no way to link responses to you.

• The survey will take approximately 1 hour to complete.

When you have completed the survey, please return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope to: CDC Cervical Cancer Study, 6115 Falls Rd, Suite 200, Baltimore, MD 21209-2219.

Thank you for your participation in this important study.
