This is an information collection request for a revision for three years. NCIâs Contact Center, The Cancer Information Service (CIS), currently collects demographic, customer service and smoking cessation information from clients contacting CIS by telephone, email and through LiveHelp (an online instant messaging service). Information is collected in order to properly plan, implement, and evaluate cancer education efforts and to provide smoking cessation services tailored to the individual clientâs needs. Since its inception in 1976, the CIS has handled more than 12 million calls from the public. The potential universe of Cancer Information Service (CIS) clients is almost 319 million respondents based on the U.S. Census estimate for 2014 of adults estimated to be 18 years and older.
In this OMB package, we are requesting the addition of three customer service questions aimed at assessing the satisfaction the client have with use of the CIS service. The customer satisfaction survey is to be used in follow up emails after phone calls, cancer.gov emails and at the end of LH sessions.
