Proposed Project
Focus Group Testing and Survey on
Radiological Event Messages for Public
Health Workers—New—National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In January 2003, CDC held a
roundtable to specifically address
communications needs likely to arise in
the aftermath of a terrorist event
involving mass casualties. Hospital
administrators and clinicians, public
health practitioners, and emergency
planners emphasized the gaps in their
training and in their knowledge of how
to respond to nuclear or radiological
events.
Concurrent with this, CDC began
working with the Association of Schools
of Public Health (ASPH) to assess
knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
related to preparedness for a
radiological or nuclear terrorist event in
the United States. The strong and clear
message delivered to the CDC was that
both the professional (e.g., clinicians
and public health workers) and the lay
American public were unprepared to
respond to such an event (Becker 2004).
Specifically, clinicians who participated
in the research acknowledged a lack of
training and preparedness, a potential
unwillingness to treat patients if they
are perceived as radiologically
contaminated, and concerns about
public panic and consequent
overwhelming of hospitals and other
clinical systems. More importantly,
findings from the meeting revealed a
critical need to assess communication
preparedness among public health
workers in relation to radiological
emergencies.
This proposal addresses the need for
the development of clear
communication messages in the event of
a radiological incident. As part of a
cooperative agreement, CDC has
contracted with the National Public
Health Information Coalition (NPHIC) to
collect data from public health workers
in 6 states—California, Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan, North Carolina and South
Carolina—to evaluate a set of messages
that have been developed by CDC for
public health workers to use before,
during and after a radiological event.
The 5 communication messages focus
on the main concerns expressed by
representatives from these 6 states and
other participants in audience research.
The participating states volunteered for
this project. Public health workers
referenced in this proposal are nurses,
physicians, clinical technicians,
administrative, management and
support staff and epidemiologists.
CDC’s primary goal is to protect the
health and safety of the public. Since
public health workers are usually first
responders in various capacities in the
event of a radiological emergency, the
need to develop time-sensitive and
consistent communication messages is
vital. Developing clear messages that
can be used by public health workers as
an integral part of their radiological
emergency plan is consistent with this
goal. These message concepts, which
range from how to protect the worker
and family to the role of the public
health worker during a radiological
emergency will serve as a reference tool
and guidance for state health
departments in the event of such
situations.
This proposal seeks approval to
obtain data using two methods, focus
group testing and electronic surveys to
achieve greater results. Focus group
