Attachment I—NORC Final Email Reminder

Final Reminder Email

Dear Preparedness Director/Coordinator:

This is a final reminder about your invitation to complete an assessment about the barriers and facilitators to evidence-based practice (EBP) in public health emergency preparedness and response (PHPR). The assessment will close in one week on [DATE].

To access the online assessment, please click the link and follow the instructions: http://www.xxx.org

We request that you complete the assessment at your earliest convenience. As a reminder, NORC at the University of Chicago is conducting this assessment on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to identify the key organizational and contextual factors affecting EBP implementation and dissemination by the PHPR practice community. Your responses will help CDC to support state, territorial, and local health department activities; better understand the PHPR practice community’s needs; inform and prioritize strategies and resources for EBP identification and dissemination; and address barriers and facilitators to EBP uptake. Data from the assessment will be shared with CDC in aggregate form.

Thank you for your participation in this important study.

Sincerely,

[Project Director Name]
