CDC plans to collect information from
office-based physicians and public-section family planning
providers and clinic administrators through mailed surveys to
monitor changes in provider and clinic attitudes and practices
among family planning providers in the US related to
recommendations included in national contraceptive guidelines and
assess changes from previous data collections carried out prior to
publication or soon after release of these guidelines. Findings
will be used to identify targeted training needs in use of guidance
and family planning service delivery.
The surveys will change
slightly to eliminate unnecessary questions, add new questions of
interest, modify response options, and improve formatting to skip
patterns. There is a reduction in burden due to fewer respondents
due to anticipated non-response and shorter survey response
time.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
