    Proposed Project: Provide Services for the Dissemination of CER to 
Patients and Providers to Increase Adoption--OMB No. 0990-New--
Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE).
    Abstract: This research leverages best practices in behavior 
change, interaction design, and service innovation to increase the 
understanding and adoption of Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) 
information by physicians and patients. By truly understanding the 
desires, behaviors and attitudes of patients and care providers across 
various segments, this project can significantly improve the 
dissemination, translation, and adoption of evidence-based, outcomes-
oriented CER findings.
    The purpose of this project is ``to strengthen the link between 
evidence production and strategies for conveying this information in 
ways that encourage evidence-based behavior change among providers and 
patients. The central question is how best to get CER information to 
physicians and patients in a way they understand. This task is 
considered critical to capitalizing on the Department's CER 
investment.''
