These changes are for greater clarity and reduction of burden. Clarifying language has been added to reduce confusion that was identified after soliciting input and the initial testing of the survey. The structure of survey questions was changed to reduce burden on respondents. Rather than providing twelve responses for each of eight interventions (96 responses total), respondents are now providing twelve responses for each of seven core elements and answering two summary questions (86 responses total). Respondents has been given the option to skip an element if they report having no experience with the element. In addition, recruitment strategies are proposed to improve response rate of the respondent pool. Only formatting of the consent cover letter has changed with minimal content changes to add transparency or clarity. The requested changes are similar to the one outlined in OMB Control Number 0920-1308 Validated Follow-up Interview of Clinicians on Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship Interventions, with certain changes to reduce respondent burden and provide additional instructional clarity.
