Proposed Project
Evaluation of Customer Satisfaction

Extension—Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
ATSDR considers evaluation to be a
critical component for enhancing
program effectiveness and improving
resource management. ATSDR’s
mandate under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA), as amended, is to assess the
presence and nature of health hazards at
specific Superfund sites. To help
prevent or reduce further exposure and
the illnesses that result from such
exposures. ATSDR, the lead Agency
within the Public Health Service for
implementing the health-related
provisions of CERCLA and its 1986
amendments, the Superfund
Amendments and Re-authorization Act
(SARA), ATSDR received additional
responsibilities in environmental public
health. This act broadened ATSDR’s
responsibilities in the areas of health
assessments, establishment and
maintenance of toxicologic databases,
information dissemination, and medical
education. Furthermore, in accordance
with the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (Pub. L. 103–62), the
e-Government Act of 2002, and the
Federal Enterprise Architecture are key
elements of the Presidents Management
Agenda. These ‘‘e-government’’
initiatives have required staff at all
levels of the Federal government with
the improvement of program
effectiveness and public accountability
by promoting new focuses on results,
service quality, and customer
satisfaction. These staff are further
charged with responsibility to articulate
clearly the results of their programs in
terms that are understandable to their
customers, their stakeholders, and the
American taxpayer. This project
addresses these concerns and serves to
improve ATSDR’s health promotion
agenda by providing data on which to
assess and improve the usefulness and
usability of information provided via
Internet.
ATSDRs extension (continuation)
efforts will follow the guidance
articulated in our reinstatement
application submitted and approved in
2003. Our current survey, the ‘‘ATSDR
Web Site User Satisfaction Survey,’’ was
combined in the past under project
0920–0449 ‘‘Evaluation of Customer
Satisfaction of the CDC and ATSDR
Internet Home Page and Links.’’ Having
our own survey would allow us to tailor
PO 00000
Frm 00071
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

the survey to our needs, manage the
project effectively, and ensure that we
collect the necessary information to
evaluate customer satisfaction of our
Web site. The 2003 reinstatement
request was further modified by our
most recent I–83c submission adding
five replicate product-specific surveys
to the OMB 0923–0028 inventory for
this project. ATSDR is requesting an
extension without change for the
following surveys:
• ATSDR Web Site User Satisfaction
Survey (WSUS)
• Toxicological Profiles User
Satisfaction Survey (TPUS)
• ToxFAQsTM User Satisfaction
Survey (TFUS)
• Public Health Statements User
Satisfaction Survey (PHSUS)
• Toxicology Curriculum for
Communities Training Manual User
Satisfaction Survey (TCCUS)
• ToxProfilesTM CD–ROM User
Satisfaction Survey (TP–CDUS)
ATSDR has designed this site to serve
the general-public, persons at risk for
exposure to hazardous substances,
collaborating organizations, state and
local governments, and health
professionals. As a ‘‘Support Delivery of
Services’’ tool, the ATSDR Web site
presents information focused on
prevention of exposure and adverse
human health effects and diminished
quality of life associated with exposure
to hazardous substances from waste
sites, unplanned releases, and other
sources of pollution present in the
environment. Furthermore, as a Web
based delivery tool it advances the
agencies health promotional messages,
product outreach activities, and future
survey options currently under
consideration. Therefore, it is critical
that ATSDR have the capacity to answer
whether or not these expenditures elicit
the desired effects or impact. The results
of this project will ensure that these
audiences will continue to find our
knowledge products and informational
pieces easy to access, clear, informative
and useful. Specifically, this project will
continue to examine whether current
and future informational updates are
presented in an appropriate
technological format and whether it
meets the needs, wants, and preferences
of visitors (‘‘customers’’) to the ATSDR
Web site.
This extension request is for a threeyear period. The survey questions have
been held to the absolute minimum
required for the use of the data. There
are no costs to the respondents other
than their time.

Background and Brief Description
Car crashes are the number one killer
of teens, accounting for approximately
one-third of all deaths within this age
group. The National Center for Health
Statistics reports that in 2004, a total of
3,620 young drivers were killed and an
additional 303,000 were injured in
motor vehicle crashes.
In order to reduce these preventable
deaths and injuries, parental awareness
and education about Graduated Driver’s
Licensing (GDL) laws and the ways that
parents can influence their children’s
safe driving are necessary. In
preparation for a national campaign to
educate parents about their role in their
teens’ driver education, it is necessary
to determine the most effective
messages and channels through which
to communicate with parents.
Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide,
on behalf of CDC, will conduct two
studies to assess the appropriateness
and impact of messages and creative
materials intended to (a) increase
parental involvement in their teen’s
driving education and experience, and
(b) encourage teens to adopt safer
driving practices.
The first information collection will
be accomplished through focus group
testing of campaign messages and
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
materials with representatives from our
target audiences, parents and teens, in
two cities in the U.S. The findings will
provide valuable information regarding
parents’ and teens’ levels of awareness
and concern about safe driving;
motivators for behavior change,
especially GDL compliance; and
message/channel preferences. The
information collected will be used to
develop final creative materials to
implement the teen safe driving
campaign in pilot cities.
The second information collection
will be accomplished through pilot city
testing, which will evaluate knowledge,
attitude and behaviors of intended
audiences both pre- and postcommunications campaign. The
campaign will target parents of newlylicensed drivers. It will encourage
parents to understand state regulations
regarding new drivers, talk with their
teens about safe driving practices, and
both manage and monitor their teens’
driving behavior. Testing will be
conducted through brief telephone
surveys intended to assess knowledge,
attitudes and behaviors of parents and
teens related to safe driving practices,
GDL laws, and parental management of
new drivers before and after the
campaign; with the goal of observing a
marked increase in parental
management at the time of the postcampaign survey. CDC anticipates
screening 1,777 individuals and that
45% of these will qualify for the survey
testing. Pending CDC’s decision whether
or not to include teens in survey testing,
the breakdown of the groups shown in
the tables below may change. However,
the total number of respondents and
screeners will remain the same.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.

ATSDRs extension (continuation) efforts will follow the guidance

site. The 2003 reinstatement request was further modified by our most
recent I-83c submission adding five replicate product-specific surveys
to the OMB 0923-0028 inventory for this project. ATSDR is requesting an
extension without change for the following surveys:
ATSDR Web Site User Satisfaction Survey (WSUS)
