NORC 2nd Reminder Email

Attachment H—NORC Email Reminder 2

Second Email Reminder – Sent by NORC

Dear Preparedness Director/Coordinator:

We recently contacted you to complete an assessment about barriers and facilitators to evidence-based practice (EBP) in public health emergency preparedness and response (PHPR). As a reminder, NORC at the University of Chicago is conducting this assessment on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to identify the key organizational and contextual factors affecting EBP implementation and dissemination by the PHPR practice community.

The assessment is available in an electronic format: http://www.xxx.org

We request that you complete the assessment at your earliest convenience. The assessment will close on [DATE]. Please follow the instructions on the screen to complete the assessment online. Your responses will help CDC to support state, territorial, and local health department activities; better understand the PHPR practice community’s needs; inform and prioritize strategies and resources for EBP identification and dissemination; and address barriers and facilitators to EBP uptake. Data from the assessment will be shared with CDC in aggregate form. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Sincerely,
