We will collect SRs to identify
potentially eligible primary studies
(within date restrictions) and possibly to
narratively summarize older studies of
earlier foundational
nonpharmacological interventions.
For topics with robust existing SRs
(e.g., non-pharmacological interventions
for perinatal depression), we will
consider (with partners and our task
order officer [TOO]) updating these SRs
(relying on the published SRs for all
data pertaining to the older primary
studies).

• May include same pharmacologic cointervention as comparator group

Agency for Healthcare Research

ACTION: Notice.
This notice announces the
intention of the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approve the proposed
information collection project ‘‘Use of
Open-Ended Responses to Explore
Disparities in Patient Experience.’’ The
purpose of this notice is to allow 60
days for public comment.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by August 28, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be submitted to: Doris Lefkowitz,
Reports Clearance Officer, AHRQ, by
email at doris.lefkowitz@AHRQ.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Proposed Project
Use of Open-Ended Responses To
Explore Disparities in Patient
Experience
The Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems
(CAHPS) program, which is sponsored
by AHRQ, has the purpose of advancing
the scientific understanding of the
patient experience of care, including the
development and testing of new surveys
and/or approaches to data collection to
promote or improve the collection of
consumer reports and evaluations of
their experiences with health care.
This Project has the following goals:
(1) Use open-ended (narrative)
responses to provide context, detail, and
understanding regarding observed
differences in patient experience based
on race, ethnicity, gender, and preferred
language.
(2) Use Clinician and Group -CAHPS
Narrative Item Set (NIS)-generated
narrative data to examine potential

algorithmic bias in natural language
programs (NLP) that could potentially
be used to code large quantities of
narrative data.
(3) Where algorithmic bias is
uncovered, use this analysis to identify
adjustments that can be applied to both
the input for these programs or the
outputs.
This project is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, the RAND
Corporation, pursuant to AHRQ’s
statutory authority to conduct and
support research on health care and on
systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the
quality, effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness, and value of healthcare
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42
U.S.C 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following data collections will be
implemented:
Online survey: Data will be collected
from a sample of 4,998 survey
respondents drawn from the Ipsos
KnowledgePanel, a large nationwide
online panel of American adults (over
50,000 panelists) with demographic
characteristics consistent with the adult
U.S. population. Equal-sized
subsamples will be drawn for each of
the following groups: non-Hispanic
Asian American, Native Hawaiian or
Other Pacific Islander; non-Hispanic
Black; Spanish-speaking Hispanic;
English-speaking Hispanic; nonHispanic Multiracial; and non-Hispanic
White. Within these six subsamples, we
will strive to recruit a roughly equal
split of men and women. The survey
will be fielded in English and Spanish
based on respondent-preferred language.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for survey
respondents’ time to participate in this
data collection. All participants will
complete the Online Survey, which is
estimated to take 17 minutes per
response. The total annual burden hours
are estimated to be 1,416 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden associated with
the respondents’ time to participate in
this data collection. The cost burden is
estimated to be $39,662.
