B. Collections of Information Employing Statistical Methods
The collection of information does not employ statistical methods. The information collected is used for program management and evaluation.
The respondent universe consists of individuals who may be employees of hospitals, universities, medical centers, laboratories, state and federal agencies, or state and local health departments and apply for training to learn current public health practices. Training activities of CDC/OSELS and NLTN include laboratory training, classroom study, online or web-based training, conferences, and distance-based learning activities. The information collected in these forms allows CDC and its partner to send confirmation of registration to participants; receive certificates of attendance or continuing education credits as proof of participants’ attendance; and generate aggregate reports for management use to identify training needs, design courses, select locations for courses, and evaluate programs.
All respondents complete the form once per course or per new registration. Data from the forms are entered into tracking databases to allow CDC/OSELS and NLTN to generate certificates of attendance or continuing education as proof of participants’ attendance, to produce a transcript when requested, and to aggregate data for management reports.
Response rates depend on interest in and registration for training offerings. The application forms are a prerequisite for obtaining training and continuing education. Therefore, response from all registrants is ensured.
These forms have been in use in a similar format for approximately 23 years. CDC has successfully tracked and reported data collected during that time.
