Dear TB Supervisor-

The Laboratory Branch in the CDC Division of Tuberculosis and Elimination invites you, or a designee, to complete an assessment of the Tuberculosis Laboratory Aggregate Report.

The purpose of the assessment is to gather your feedback on the CDC Laboratory Branch concerning 1) how you received the Aggregate report, 2) your perceptions of the content of the Aggregate Report; 3) how you used the information in the Aggregate Report to evaluate the performance of your laboratory’s activities; 4) your use of information in the Aggregate Report to justify and implement changes to your program; and 5) your suggestions for types of additional information to include in future editions of the Aggregate Report.

The information collection will be used by the Laboratory Branch to modify the distribution methods of the Aggregate Report and improve future iterations of the Aggregate Report to be more useful to your program objectives. In addition, this assessment will also inform guidance, resource development, and technical assistance activities of the Laboratory Branch.

All information collected will be kept secure throughout the analysis and reporting process. Results of the analysis will be reported only in aggregate and no individual identifiers will be used when reporting results.

The assessment will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Please use this link to access the assessment: https://MPEP.formstack.com/forms/aggregatereport_form_fourth

Please complete the assessment by [INSERT DATE]. (3 weeks)

If you have questions, you can contact Mitchell Yakrus, Microbiologist, Laboratory Capacity Team at [email protected] or 404-639-1288
