Previous terms continue: CDC will continue to submit individual collections under this generic clearance to OMB. These submissions will include the actual study instruments along with a memo describing the specific study goal, the study design, any incentives to be used, and the sampling and analysis plans. Please notify the OIRA desk officer via email when a new IC is submitted to ROCIS to ensure prompt attention. Standard remuneration of respondents for cognitive testing ($40) and focus groups ($75) applies until research is presented suggesting these rates should be changed or in situation where evidence already exists that a particular subpopulation requires a higher incentive.

The recent changes in data collection methods and the changing landscape of survey research has created need for testing and evaluating protocols including sampling, use of existing large data bases and supplementing data collection with other sources of data at the individual or community/county level. In addition recent opportunities for funding pilot testing have become available allowing the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) to explore pilots using larger numbers of participants in shorter time periods, thereby permitting a more robust examination of methods across more diverse populations and for a larger number of geographic jurisdictions. No changes are requested for the types/number of respondents currently approved for cognitive testing. No changes are requested for currently approved totals of in-person or by phone pilot testing. Substantial increases are requested for the numbers of respondents for pilots using the web (including all online data collection), including those who may be recruited/screened by phone or mail. The number included for online pilots also includes respondents who have been recruited by internet panels. The table below illustrates the requested changes in the pilot testing totals.
The revision is for approval of 35,850 burden hours for three years of approval for cognitive tests in person and by phone as well as pilot tests by phone are based principally on experience with the BRFSS. The distribution with types of tests may be adjusted across categories as specific testing needs arise.
