Proposed Project
The Collaborating Center for
Questionnaire Design and Evaluation
Research (CCQDER) (OMB Control No.
0920–0222, Exp. 09/30/2024)—
Revision—National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall undertake
and support (by grant or contract)
research, demonstrations, and
evaluations respecting new or improved
methods for obtaining current data to
support statistical and epidemiological
activities for the purpose of improving
the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality
of health services in the United States.
The Collaborating Center for
Questionnaire Design and Evaluation
Research (CCQDER) is the focal point
within NCHS for questionnaire and
survey development, pre-testing, and
evaluation activities for CDC surveys
such as the National Survey of Family
Growth (NSFG), the Research and
Development Survey (RANDS)
(including RANDS COVID), and other
federally sponsored surveys. The
CCQDER is requesting three years of
OMB Clearance for this Generic
submission.
The CCQDER and other NCHS
programs conduct cognitive interviews,
focus groups, in-depth or ethnographic
interviews, usability tests, field tests/
pilot interviews, and experimental
research in laboratory and field settings,
both for applied questionnaire
development and evaluation as well as
more basic research on measurement
errors and survey response. Various
techniques to evaluate interviewer
administered, self-administered,
telephone, Computer Assisted Personal
Interviewing (CAPI), Computer Assisted
Self-Interviewing (CASI), Audio
Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing
(ACASI), and web-based questionnaires
are used.
The most common questionnaire
evaluation method is the cognitive
interview. These evaluations are
conducted by the CCQDER. The
interview structure consists of
respondents first answering a draft
survey question and then providing
textual information to reveal the
processes involved in answering the test
E:\FR\FM\12DEN1.SGM
12DEN1
76050
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 237 / Monday, December 12, 2022 / Notices
question. Specifically, cognitive
interview respondents are asked to
describe how and why they answered
the question as they did. Through the
interviewing process, various types of
question-response problems that would
not normally be identified in a
traditional survey interview, such as
interpretive errors and recall accuracy,
are uncovered. By conducting a
comparative analysis of cognitive
interviews, it is also possible to
determine whether particular
interpretive patterns occur within
particular sub-groups of the population.
Interviews are generally conducted in
small rounds totaling 40–100
interviews; ideally, the questionnaire is
re-worked between rounds, and
revisions are tested iteratively until
interviews yield relatively few new
insights.
Cognitive interviewing is inexpensive
and provides useful data on
questionnaire performance while
minimizing respondent burden.
Cognitive interviewing offers a detailed
depiction of meanings and processes
used by respondents to answer
questions—processes that ultimately
produce the survey data. As such, the
method offers an insight that can
transform understanding of question
validity and response error.
Documented findings from these studies
represent tangible evidence of how the
question performs. Such documentation
also serves CDC data users, allowing
them to be critical users in their
approach and application of the data.
In addition to cognitive interviewing,
a number of other qualitative and
quantitative methods are used to
investigate and research measurement
errors and the survey response process.
These methods include conducting
focus groups, usability tests, in-depth or
ethnographic interviews, and the
administration and analysis of questions
in both representative and nonrepresentative field tests. Focus groups
are conducted by the CCQDER. They are
group interviews whose primary
purpose is to elicit the basic sociocultural understandings and
terminology that form the basis of
questionnaire design. Each group
typically consists of one moderator and
four to 10 participants, depending on
the research question. In-depth or
ethnographic interviews are one-on-one
interviews designed to elicit the
understandings or terminology that are
necessary for question design, as well as
to gather detailed information that can
contribute to the analysis of both
qualitative and quantitative data.
Usability tests are typically one-on-one
interviews that are used to determine
how a given survey or information
collection tool functions in the field,
and how the mode and layout of the
instrument itself may contribute to
survey response error and the survey
response process.
In addition to these qualitative
methods, NCHS also uses various tools
to obtain quantitative data, which can
be analyzed alone or analyzed alongside
qualitative data to give a much fuller
accounting of the survey response
process. For instance, phone, internet,
mail, and in-person follow-up
interviews of previous NCHS survey
respondents may be used to test the
validity of survey questions and
questionnaires and to obtain more
detailed information that cannot be
gathered on the original survey.
Additionally, field or pilot tests may be
conducted on both representative and
non-representative samples, including
those obtained from commercial survey
and web panel vendors. Beyond looking
at traditional measures of survey errors
(such as item missing rates and nonresponse, and don’t know rates), these
pilot tests can be used to run
experimental designs in order to capture
how different questions function in a
field setting. Similar methodology has
been adopted by other federal agencies,
as well as by academic and commercial
survey organizations.
In 2022–2025 NCHS/CCQDER staff
plans to continue research on methods
evaluation and general questionnaire
design research. We envision that over
the next three years, NCHS/CCQDER
will work collaboratively with survey

researchers from universities and other
federal agencies to define and examine
several research areas, including, but
not limited to: (1) differences between
face-to-face, telephone, and virtual/
video-over internet cognitive
interviewing; (2) effectiveness of
different approaches to cognitive
interviewing, such as concurrent and
retrospective probing; (3) reactions of
both survey respondents and survey
interviewers to the use of Computer
Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI),
Audio Computer-Assisted SelfInterview (ACASI), video-over internet/
virtual; (4) social, cultural and linguistic
factors in the question response process;
and (5) recruitment and respondent
participation at varying levels of
incentive in an effort to establish
empirical evidence regarding
remuneration and coercion. Procedures
for each of these studies will be similar
to those applied in the usual testing of
survey questions. For example,
questionnaires that are of current
interest (such as RANDS and NIOSH)
may be evaluated using several of the
techniques described above, or different
versions of a survey question will be
developed, and the variants then
administered to separate groups of
respondents in order to study the
cognitive processes that account for the
differences in responses obtained across
different versions.
These studies will be conducted
either by CCQDER staff, DHHS staff, or
NCHS contractors who are trained in
cognitive interviewing techniques. The
results of these studies will be applied
to our specific questionnaire
development activities in order to
improve the methods that we use to
conduct questionnaire testing, and to
guide questionnaire design in general.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 21,905 annualized burden
hours. This is an increase of 12,450
hours per year due to the addition of
RANDS Methodological Surveys. There
is no cost to respondents other than
their time to participate.

Proposed Project
WISEWOMAN National Program
Evaluation (OMB Control No. 0920–
1279, Exp. 12/31/2022)—Extension—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC has supported the
WISEWOMAN (Well-Integrated
Screening and Evaluation for Women
Across the Nation) program since 1995.
The WISEWOMAN program is designed
to serve low-income women ages 40–64
who have elevated risk factors for
cardiovascular disease (CVD) and have
no health insurance, or are
underinsured for medical and
preventive care services. Through the
WISEWOMAN program, women have
access to screening services for selected
CVD risk factors such as elevated blood
cholesterol, hypertension, and abnormal
blood glucose levels; referrals to heathy
behavior support programs; and
referrals to medical care. WISEWOMAN
participants must be co-enrolled in the
CDC-sponsored National Breast and
Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program
(NBCCEDP).
The WISEWOMAN program is
administered through cooperative
agreements with state, territorial, or
tribal health departments. Each
WISEWOMAN recipient submits to CDC
an annual progress report that describes
program objectives and activities, and
semi-annual data reports (known as
minimum data elements, or MDEs) on
the screening, assessment, and healthy
behavior support services offered to
women who participate in the program.
Participant-level MDEs are de-identified
prior to transmission to CDC.

In 2018, CDC released the fifth
funding opportunity announcement
(FOA) for the WISEWOMAN program
(DP18–1816), which resulted in fiveyear cooperative agreements with 24
state, territorial, and tribal health
departments, including six new and 18
continuing awardees from the previous
NOFO. Key program elements were
retained (e.g., provision of screening
services, promotion of healthy lifestyle
behaviors, and linkage to healthy
behavior support services and
community based resources), but a
number of changes were incorporated
into the program at that time. The
current FOA reflects increased emphasis
on three strategies to reduce CVD risk
and support hypertension control and
management, including: (1) tracking and
monitoring clinical measures; (2)
implementing team-based care; and (3)
linking community resources and
clinical services to support care
coordination, self-management, and
lifestyle change.
CDC seeks to conduct a multicomponent evaluation to assess the
effectiveness of the program on
individual, organizational, and
community-level outcomes. The indepth assessment is designed to
complement the routine progress and
MDE information already being
collected from WISEWOMAN program
recipients. The data collection focuses
on obtaining qualitative and
quantitative information at the
organizational and community levels
about process and procedures
implemented, and barriers, facilitators,
and other contextual factors that affect
program implementation and
participant outcomes. Data collection
activities include a Program Survey
with all WISEWOMAN awardee
programs, administered in the second
and fourth program years, and a onetime site visit to each recipient spread
across the three-year data collection
effort. During site visits, semi-structured
interviews will be conducted with
WISEWOMAN staff members and staff
at partner organizations, such as clinical
providers and community-based
resource providers, who are positioned
to provide a variety of perspectives on
program implementation.
CDC requests OMB approval for a
one-year extension of this data
collection, and requests approval for an
estimated 84 annual burden hours.
Participation is voluntary and there are
no costs to respondents other than their
time.

Proposed Project
The Collaborating Center for Questionnaire Design and Evaluation
Research (CCQDER) (OMB Control No. 0920-0222, Exp. 09/30/2024)--
Revision--National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.
242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall undertake and support (by
grant or contract) research, demonstrations, and evaluations respecting
new or improved methods for obtaining current data to support
statistical and epidemiological activities for the purpose of improving
the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of health services in the
United States.
The Collaborating Center for Questionnaire Design and Evaluation
Research (CCQDER) is the focal point within NCHS for questionnaire and
survey development, pre-testing, and evaluation activities for CDC
surveys such as the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), the
Research and Development Survey (RANDS) (including RANDS COVID), and
other federally sponsored surveys. The CCQDER is requesting three years
of OMB Clearance for this Generic submission.
The CCQDER and other NCHS programs conduct cognitive interviews,
focus groups, in-depth or ethnographic interviews, usability tests,
field tests/pilot interviews, and experimental research in laboratory
and field settings, both for applied questionnaire development and
evaluation as well as more basic research on measurement errors and
survey response. Various techniques to evaluate interviewer
administered, self-administered, telephone, Computer Assisted Personal

Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing (ACASI), and web-based
questionnaires are used.
The most common questionnaire evaluation method is the cognitive
interview. These evaluations are conducted by the CCQDER. The interview
structure consists of respondents first answering a draft survey
question and then providing textual information to reveal the processes
involved in answering the test

question. Specifically, cognitive interview respondents are asked to
describe how and why they answered the question as they did. Through
the interviewing process, various types of question-response problems
that would not normally be identified in a traditional survey
interview, such as interpretive errors and recall accuracy, are
uncovered. By conducting a comparative analysis of cognitive
interviews, it is also possible to determine whether particular
interpretive patterns occur within particular sub-groups of the
population. Interviews are generally conducted in small rounds totaling
40-100 interviews; ideally, the questionnaire is re-worked between
rounds, and revisions are tested iteratively until interviews yield
relatively few new insights.
Cognitive interviewing is inexpensive and provides useful data on
questionnaire performance while minimizing respondent burden. Cognitive
interviewing offers a detailed depiction of meanings and processes used
by respondents to answer questions--processes that ultimately produce
the survey data. As such, the method offers an insight that can
transform understanding of question validity and response error.
Documented findings from these studies represent tangible evidence of
how the question performs. Such documentation also serves CDC data
users, allowing them to be critical users in their approach and
application of the data.
In addition to cognitive interviewing, a number of other
qualitative and quantitative methods are used to investigate and
research measurement errors and the survey response process. These
methods include conducting focus groups, usability tests, in-depth or
ethnographic interviews, and the administration and analysis of
questions in both representative and non-representative field tests.
Focus groups are conducted by the CCQDER. They are group interviews
whose primary purpose is to elicit the basic socio-cultural
understandings and terminology that form the basis of questionnaire
design. Each group typically consists of one moderator and four to 10
participants, depending on the research question. In-depth or
ethnographic interviews are one-on-one interviews designed to elicit
the understandings or terminology that are necessary for question
design, as well as to gather detailed information that can contribute
to the analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data. Usability
tests are typically one-on-one interviews that are used to determine
how a given survey or information collection tool functions in the
field, and how the mode and layout of the instrument itself may
contribute to survey response error and the survey response process.
In addition to these qualitative methods, NCHS also uses various
tools to obtain quantitative data, which can be analyzed alone or
analyzed alongside qualitative data to give a much fuller accounting of
the survey response process. For instance, phone, internet, mail, and
in-person follow-up interviews of previous NCHS survey respondents may
be used to test the validity of survey questions and questionnaires and
to obtain more detailed information that cannot be gathered on the
original survey. Additionally, field or pilot tests may be conducted on
both representative and non-representative samples, including those
obtained from commercial survey and web panel vendors. Beyond looking
at traditional measures of survey errors (such as item missing rates
and non-response, and don't know rates), these pilot tests can be used
to run experimental designs in order to capture how different questions
function in a field setting. Similar methodology has been adopted by
other federal agencies, as well as by academic and commercial survey
organizations.
In 2022-2025 NCHS/CCQDER staff plans to continue research on
methods evaluation and general questionnaire design research. We
envision that over the next three years, NCHS/CCQDER will work
collaboratively with survey researchers from universities and other
federal agencies to define and examine several research areas,
including, but not limited to: (1) differences between face-to-face,
telephone, and virtual/video-over internet cognitive interviewing; (2)
effectiveness of different approaches to cognitive interviewing, such
as concurrent and retrospective probing; (3) reactions of both survey
respondents and survey interviewers to the use of Computer Assisted
Personal Interviewing (CAPI), Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview
(ACASI), video-over internet/virtual; (4) social, cultural and
linguistic factors in the question response process; and (5)
recruitment and respondent participation at varying levels of incentive
in an effort to establish empirical evidence regarding remuneration and
coercion. Procedures for each of these studies will be similar to those
applied in the usual testing of survey questions. For example,
