COLLECTIONS OF INFORMATION EMPLOYING STATISTICAL METHODS
B1. Respondent Universe and Sampling Methods
The
respondent universe is all 26 currently funded PRCs (see Attachment
2). Staff at all PRCs will annually provide data, rendering sampling
methodologies unnecessary.
B2.
Procedures for the Collection of Information
The
PRC Program will use a web-based data collection system (see
Attachment 4) for quantitative data collection; the system is hosted
on CDC servers, minimizing security risks. The web-based data
collection system was developed using REDCap and will enable the PRC
Program to capture information about the PRCs’ partners,
community advisory boards, in-kind, institutional resources, core
and center projects characteristics, training and mentorship
programs, practice and research tools, communication channels, and
communications and academic products. Starting in the third year of
the current funding cycle (September 30, 2019 – September 29,
2024), the PRCs will be able to enter data into the new, web-based
data collection system year-round.
All
data will be stored on-site at the CDC in a Microsoft Access
database. Each PRC will be assigned a unique ID that allows data from
different sources to be linked and facilitate development of merged
and longitudinal datasets for analyses. Data will be maintained for a
minimum of ten years to allow for continued analysis and publication
of reports and peer-reviewed manuscripts.
The
information collected from respondents will be supplemented by
information abstracted by PRC Program staff. Program staff will
organize information about the PRCs that is available from other data
sources, such as funding applications, progress reports, literature
searches, and publicly available information about each PRC’s
catchment area. Burden to respondents will be reduced by abstracting
information related to the PRCs’ core research projects,
trainings, and tools from existing documentation. PRC staff will
validate these data, whereby respondents will have an opportunity to
correct the information abstracted by PRC Program staff.
PRC
Program staff will be available to provide technical assistance on an
ongoing basis. Staff at each PRC will enter data for each reporting
period.
Advanced
data integration features and data quality rules were implemented in
the web-based data collection system to minimize data entry errors,
reduce the burden of data entry, and avoid redundancy.
These
features include skip patterns that show only the relevant questions
based on filter questions and use of formatted fields to restrict the
length and type of data that can be entered. Depending on the end
users’ roles and needs, system access will vary (match to
Statement A). We will provide optional tools, training, and guidance
based upon end user input regarding system access, navigation, and
data entry.
PERS
will be available year-round – allowing the PRCs to submit data
when most conducive, rather than compressing data collection into a
prescribed timeframe. It is important to note that data entered will
remain in the system throughout the project period; PRCs will be
asked to simply update some sections (e.g., Partnerships), and
provide any new entries for others (e.g., Journal Articles). This
will lessen the data collection burden assumed by respondents in
funding years 4 through 5. Data will also be available for analysis
throughout the year.
B3. Methods to Maximize Response Rates and Deal with No Response
As
a condition of the award, all 26 (100%) PRCs are required to provide
data related to the PRC Program evaluation indicators –
collected using the web-based data collection system.
B4. Tests of Procedures or Methods to be Undertaken
The
web-based data collection system was piloted by a small sample of
respondents (n= 3) to test the system’s function, content, and
associated response burden.
B5. Individuals Consulted on Statistical Aspects and Individuals
Collecting and/or Analyzing Data
The
PRC Program does not use any statistical methods to select
respondents. All PRCs are required to provide data; thus, no
individuals were consulted on statistical sampling.
