the pediatric audiology facilities are
located. This survey will continue to
allow CDC-EHDI team and state EHDI
programs to compile a systematic,
quantifiable distribution of audiology
facilities and the capacity of each
facility to provide services for children
age 5 and younger. The data collected
will also allow the CDC-EHDI team to
analyze facility distribution data to
improve technical assistance to State
EHDI programs.
Two additional questions will be
added to the existing survey. The two
questions will ask for more information
from audiology facilities that provide
services by remote telepractice
technology. This information will be of
vital interest and benefit for both
parents who live in remote regions of
the US and state EHDI programs to
maximize resource coverage.
Respondents will all be audiologists
who manage a facility or provide
audiologic care for children age 5 and
younger. To minimize burden and
improve convenience, the survey will
continue to be available via a secure
password protected Web site. Placing
the survey on the internet ensures
convenient, on-demand access by the
audiologists. Financial cost is
minimized because no mailing fee will
be associated with sending or
responding to this survey.
EHDI-PALS currently has 892
facilities in the database since the
beginning of the data collection. All 892
facilities’ contacts will receive a brief
email from the University of Maine to
remind them to review their survey
answers. It is estimated that
approximately 800 audiologists will do
so.
It takes approximately nine minutes
per person to review the survey
answers. Both the American SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association (ASHA)
and American Academy of Audiology
(AAA) are members of the EHDI-PALS
workgroup and will continue to
disseminate a request through
association e-newsletters and eannouncements to all audiologists who
provide services to children younger
than 5 years of age to complete the
EHDI-PALS survey. It is estimated that,
potentially, an additional 400 new
audiologists will complete the revised
survey, which will take approximately
nine minutes per respondent. The nine
minutes calculation is based on a
previous timed pre-test with six
volunteer audiologists.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 180.
