Change Request Justification

CHANGE REQUEST - Project Title: Ready CDC / OMB Control Number: 0920-1022

The Learning Office (LO) received OMB approval for three (3) data collection surveys for the Ready CDC project which include: a pre-workshop survey, workshop evaluation and follow-up survey. Currently, the project assigns each participant a unique ID number which is collected during the pre-workshop and follow-up surveys. The purpose of this change request is to obtain approval to collect the assigned unique ID during the workshop evaluation.

JUSTIFICATION:

One of the primary milestones of the Ready CDC project is to conduct a program evaluation that determines the intervention’s effectiveness in modifying behavior (i.e. improving one’s emergency preparedness) The evaluation will employ the use of the Kirkpatrick model, which looks at an intervention’s effectiveness on behavior change across four (4) levels: reaction, knowledge, behavior change, and results. Reaction is measured by the participants’ beliefs/feelings regarding the intervention received. Given reaction measures are an integral part of the model in assessing behavior change, we would like to link the pre- and post-survey data with the workshop evaluation using the unique ID.

Implementation of the change request requires no additional burden on the participant. It only requires the participant to provide the unique ID on the survey. This change is in alignment with the privacy assessment procedures employed with the project (See pg. 2-3 of the Statement A document). Furthermore, the change strengthens the evaluation methodology and thereby provides stronger evidence-based results.
