Proposed Project
An Evaluation Survey on the Use and
Effectiveness of Internet SAMMEC,
(0920–0624)—Revision—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Since 1987, CDC has used the
Smoking-Attributable Mortality,
Morbidity, and Economic Costs
(SAMMEC) software to estimate the
disease impact of smoking for the
nation, states, and large populations.
The Internet version of the SAMMEC
software was released in 2002, and it
contains two distinct computational
programs, Adult SAMMEC and
Maternal and Child Health SAMMEC,
which can be used to estimate the
adverse health outcomes and disease
impact of smoking on adults and
infants.
Since the release of Internet
SAMMEC, more than 1,230 tobacco
control professionals in the State health
departments and other tobacco control
institutions in the country have used
SAMMEC to generate the data they need
for their projects. Some of them have
provided comments and sent requests
for assistance. Of those using SAMMEC,
1,000 will be recruited for each of the
2 surveys planned over a three year
period. Therefore, an average of 667
respondents will complete the survey
annually.
The purpose of this survey is to
evaluate the use and effectiveness of the
SAMMEC software and identify ways to
improve the system so that it will better
meet the needs of the users in tobacco
control and prevention. There are no
costs to the respondents except for their
time in completing the questionnaire.
The estimated total annualized burden
is 167 hours.
