Proposed Project

    Collection of Customer Survey Data Pertaining to the CDC Web site--
New--National Center for Health Marketing (NCHM), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Executive Order 12862 directs agencies that provide significant 
services directly to the public to survey customers to determine the 
kind and quality of services they need and their level of satisfaction 
with existing services. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC), National Center for Health Marking (NCHM), seeks to obtain 
approval to conduct customer satisfaction surveys and usability tests 
of the CDC Web site, http://www.cdc.gov on an ongoing basis. By 
collecting customer satisfaction and Web site usability information, 
CDC will be enabled to serve, and respond to, the ever-changing demands 
of website users. These users include individuals (patients, educators, 
students, etc.), interested communities, partners, healthcare 
providers, and businesses. Survey information will augment current Web 
content, delivery, and design research which is used to understand the 
Web user, and more specifically, the CDC user community. Primary 
objectives are to ensure: (1) CDC's Web site meets its customer needs 
and (2) the Web site meets the wants, preferences, and needs of its 
target audiences. Findings will help to: (1) Understand the user 
community and how to better serve Internet users; (2) discover areas 
requiring improvement in either content or delivery; (3) determine how 
to align Web offerings with identified user need(s); and (4) explore 
methods for offering, presenting and delivering information most 
effectively. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
