The Health Center Patient Survey will
gather information that will assist policymakers assessment of how
well HRSA supported health centers are able to meet health care
needs and complement data that are not routinely collected from
other HRSA data sources. The cognitive pre-test will refine and
test the survey instrument, test the survey sampling methodologies
and procedures before it is implemented nationally. The respondents
are Health Center patients from different racial/ethnic
backgrounds. The 2014 Health Center Patient Survey (herein referred
to as the HCPS) will collect nationally in-depth information about
Section 330-funded health center patients, their health status, the
reasons they seek care at the health centers, their diagnoses, the
services they utilize at HCs and elsewhere, the quality of those
services, and their satisfaction with the care they receive,
through personal interviews of a stratified random sample of HC
patients. Interviews conducted in the national study are estimated
to take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes each.
