Attitudes and Practices, OMB No. 0915–
0290—Reinstatement With Change
Abstract: HRSA is requesting
approval from OMB for a reinstatement
with change of a previously approved
collection of information (OMB control
number 0915–0290). The National
Survey of Organ Donation Attitudes and
Practices (NSODAP) is conducted
approximately every 6–7 years and
serves a critical role in providing HRSA
and the donation community with data
regarding why Americans choose to
donate organs, current barriers to
donation, and potential new approaches
to increasing donations. Survey data
and derived analytic insights inform
HRSA’s public outreach and
educational initiatives. HRSA is
improving the quality and relevance of
the data collected by making the
following changes:
(1) HRSA is increasing the ability to
produce more precise results by
targeting 10,000 completed surveys
(increased from 3,250 in 2012). This
increase will allow for a more accurate
and robust analysis of the attitudes and
donation practices of important
subgroups such as Americans over the
age of 50 and various minority
populations. While the precision of the
results from the survey will increase,
respondent burden will be reduced and
survey completion costs will be lower
resulting in a cost neutral change.
(2) HRSA is streamlining the data
collection process to minimize
respondent burden. Of the 10,000
targeted completed surveys, 8,000 will
be completed online by a nationally
representative web panel composed of
Americans over the age of 18 who have
already agreed to participate in a survey.
Web panels target a representative
section of a population used by other
approved surveys. HRSA will complete
the remaining 2,000 surveys by
telephone. In 2012, all 3,250 surveys
were conducted by telephone and
respondents were contacted using
random-digit dialing, a process that
yielded a low response rate. Contacting
respondents by telephone will remain a
part of the survey protocol to compare
current data to the 2012 data. However,
for this survey, identification of a
sample of adults over the age of 18 for
a telephone survey will be from a
national list of home addresses. Prior to
contact, those selected for the telephone
survey will receive a mailed prenotification letter with information
about the survey. This mailing will
improve survey cooperation and reduce
the number of people contacted for the
survey. Additionally, it is more time
and cost effective to take the survey
online than taking the survey by phone
