[NCCDPHP] Cognitive Testing and Pilot Testing for the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion

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.
