Proposed Project

    Evaluation of U.S. Family Planning Guidelines-Phase II--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Division of 
Reproductive Health (DRH), in collaboration with the Office of 
Population Affairs (OPA), plans to conduct an evaluation of the 
diffusion, utilization of, and impact on provider- and health center-
level attitudes and practices of three national guidance documents 
intended to improve contraceptive use and the delivery of quality 
family planning services in the United States. The purpose of this 
information collection is to evaluate the adoption and implementation 
of recommendations included in the U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria 
for Contraceptive Use, approximately two and a half years after its 
release, and to collect baseline information on selected attitudes and 
practices that will be addressed in the forthcoming U.S. Selected 
Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use (U.S. SPR) and the 
forthcoming Guidance for Providing Quality Family Planning Services 
(QFPS). The information to be collected will also allow CDC and OPA to 
improve family planning-related public health practice, as CDC and OPA 
will tailor future dissemination activities, and develop needed 
provider tools, based upon the results. CDC and OPA will consider 
conducting a follow-up information collection approximately three years 
after the release of the forthcoming U.S. SPR and QFPS.
    CDC and OPA will administer a mailed survey to 10,000 private- and 
public-sector family planning providers and health center 
administrators in the United States, including: (a) 2,000 private-
sector office-based physicians (i.e., those specializing in obstetrics/
gynecology, family medicine, and adolescent medicine); (b) 2,000 
public-sector providers from Title X clinics; (c) 2,000 public-sector 
providers from non-Title X clinics; (d) 2,000 public-sector health 
center administrators from Title X clinics; and (e) 2,000 public-sector 
health center administrators from non-Title X clinics. Private-sector 
physicians will be sampled from the American Medical Association 
Physician Masterfile. Public-sector providers and health center 
administrators will be reached by sampling health centers from the 
Guttmacher Institute Database of Publicly-Funded Family Planning Health 
Centers.
    Each sampled physician and health center will receive a mailed 
survey package. For private-sector physicians, each mailed survey 
package will include a single survey to be completed by the physician. 
For public-sector health centers, each mailed survey package will 
include two surveys--one to be completed by a family planning provider 
at the health center, and the second to be completed by the health 
center administrator. Each survey will be accompanied by a postage-paid 
return envelope. Individuals will also be given the option to complete 
the survey online via a password protected web-based data collection 
system. Participation in the survey will be completely voluntary. OMB 
approval is requested for one year.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated burden hours are 4,166.
