    Proposed Project--Community Guide Surveillance and Evaluation 
Survey--New--Epidemiology Program Office (EPO), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).
    The Community Guide Surveillance and Evaluation Survey will be used 
to collect information about the degree to which segments of the target 
audience for the Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community 
Guide) is aware of and using findings in public health planning 
decisions. Public health practitioners, including state and local 
health officials and faculty from schools of public health throughout 
the United States and its territories, will be invited to participate. 
The Community Guide is based on systematic reviews of published 
evidence of effectiveness of selected population based interventions 
across a range of health topics. The data from this survey will be used 
to assess familiarity with, understanding of use, and dissemination of 
findings from the Community Guide. The results of this study will be 
used by the independent Task Force on Community Preventive Services and 
staff supporting the Task Force from the Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention to improve dissemination and use of Community Guide 
reviews and recommendations. The sample will include 9 people from each 
of the 56 states and territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. 
Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands, for a total sample 
size of 504 people. The total annual burden estimate is 101 hours. The 
survey will be administered annually, contingent on availability of 
funds, through a Web-based format.
