Proposed Project

    Health Marketing--New--National Center for Health Marketing (NCHM), 
Coordinating Center for Health Information and Service (CCHIS), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Today, CDC is globally recognized for conducting research and 
investigations and for its action oriented approach. CDC applies 
research and findings to improve people's daily lives and responds to 
health emergencies--something that distinguishes CDC from its peer 
agencies.
    CDC is committed to achieving true improvements in people's health. 
To do this, the agency is defining specific health protection goals to 
prioritize and focus its work and investments and measure progress.
    It is imperative that CDC provide high-quality timely information 
and programs in the most effective ways to help people, families, and 
communities protect their health and safety. Through continuous 
consumer feedback, prevention research, and public health information 
technology, we identify and evaluate health needs and interests, 
translate science into actions to meet those needs, and engage the 
public in the excitement of discovery and the progress being made to 
improve the health of the Nation. In our outreach to partners, we build 
relationships that model shared learning, mutual trust, and diversity 
in points of view and sectors of society.
    The National Center for Health Marketing (NCHM) of the Coordinating 
Center for Health Information and Service (CCHIS) was established to 
help ensure that health information, interventions, and programs at CDC 
are based on sound science, objectivity, and continuous customer input.
    NCHM is requesting a 3-year approval for the generic concept of 
health marketing to provide feedback on the development, implementation 
and satisfaction regarding public health services, products, 
communication campaigns and information. The information will be 
collected using standard qualitative and quantitative methods such as 
interviews, focus groups, and panels, as well as questionnaires 
administered in person, by telephone, by mail, by email, and online. 
More specific types of studies may include: user experience and user-
testing; concept/product/package development testing; brand 
positioning/identity research; customer satisfaction surveying; 
ethnography/observational studies; and mystery shopping. The data will 
be used to provide input to the

development, delivery and communication of public health services and 
information at CDC and to address emerging programmatic needs.
    Every National Center and Office at CDC will have the opportunity 
to utilize this generic clearance. There is no cost to the respondents 
other than their time. The total estimated burden hours are 38,700.
