The 2014 Health Center Patient Survey
(HCPS) surveyed patients who use health centers funded under
Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act. Before allowing
access to unrestricted HCPS data that contains sensitive grantee
and patient information protected by the Privacy Act of 1974,
prospective users of the data will submit a signed data use
agreement (DUA) and describe (in the associated supplement to the
DUA) the proposed research they intend to undertake in using the
data. Likely respondents include researchers in academia, private
contractors, and Primary Care Associations/Health Center grantee
organizations.
This is a new ICR, so there is
an increase from zero (0).
