Follow-Up Provider Survey
Your clinic is one of several Illinois clinics serving National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) patients that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has selected for participation in the Cx3 Study. As a health care provider in this clinic, we are inviting you to participate in a survey of clinicians being conducted for CDC by the Battelle Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation.
In this survey, we will ask you a series of questions regarding your cervical cancer screening practices and opinions. The information provided by you and other clinicians will provide valuable information to CDC to assist them in their efforts to provide cervical cancer screening to NBCCEDP women.
This survey has been sent to approximately 70 clinicians in 15 practices who have agreed to participate in the Cx3 Study. We need the response of every clinician to make this important study valid. You will be asked to complete a similar survey once each year over the next two years
All answers that you give will be kept private. This is so because this study has been given a Certificate of Confidentiality. This means anything you tell us will not have to be given out to anyone, even if a court orders us to do so, unless you say it’s okay. Responses will be reported only in summary form along with information from the other clinicians that participate in the survey. No personal identifiers will be included in either oral or written presentation of the study results.
Battelle, the contractor, must maintain the link between names and participant ID numbers for tracking survey mailings, and to link your responses to all follow-up surveys. While Battelle will have the capability to link responses to individual participants, this capability will only be present until data collection is completed. At that point, the tracking file will be destroyed and there will be no way to link responses to you.
On average, the survey will take about 30-35 minutes to complete, depending on the scope of your practice.
Some questions about your provision of advice to patients about sexual risk, or about your practices that may differ from institutional clinical practice recommendations may cause you discomfort.
Your participation in this survey is voluntary. You may choose to withdraw from the study or to skip any questions that you do not want to answer.
When you have completed the survey, please seal it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope and drop it in the mail.
Thank you for your participation in this important study.
Public reporting burden of this collection of information varies from 30 to 35 minutes with an estimated average of 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer; 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0920-0814)
