Shelters/Soup Kitchens--New--Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC), National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID). This Proposed

in the Spring of 2002, and will consist of surveys of 200 centers of 
varying types. Telephone follow-up of initial respondents in the event 
clarification of responses is needed will be conducted. Respondents 
will be managers or designees of homeless shelters or soup kitchens.
