MMP Consultations Conducted Before 2010

Consultations to discuss sampling methods and lessons learned from previous projects; to commence planning, identify sampling approaches and design for clinical outcomes surveillance; to discuss information domains; to discuss sampling of facilities and patients, review project progress and discuss sampling issues, stratification parameters, and scientific quality issues; and to discuss sampling methods and tasks were held with the RAND Corporation in September 2003, March 2004, October 2004, and September 2005. RAND Corporation staff also participated in bi-weekly conference calls with CDC on these matters from 2004 to 2010.

A consultation to discuss how to use MMP data to meet HRSA data needs, how to avoid redundancy in data collections by CDC and HRSA grantees, to discuss research questions of interest to HRSA, and future collaborations between CDC and HRSA on MMP were held with HRSA and NIH in November 2004. Dr. Victoria Cargill from HRSA was consulted as needed from 2004-2010.

In the spring of 2009, the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP), National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), solicited feedback on its programs through an External Peer Review (EPR). Based on a recommendation from the peer review panel, a formal evaluation of MMP was conducted by Dr. Stephanie Broyles from Pennington Biomedical Research Center and staff from ICF Macro. A final report was completed in December 2010. CDC responded to the findings of the evaluation by instituting several changes that have streamlined data collection and processing, increased efficiency, and facilitated data dissemination. These include contracting with Cerner Corporation for improved medical record abstraction and focusing medical record abstraction data efforts on records from the two years prior to the MMP interview date. In addition, data management and analysis capacity at CDC has been increased as a result of this evaluation.
