Collections of Information Employing Statistical Methods
Respondent Universe and Sampling Methods
The respondent universe consists of 60 jurisdictions that voluntarily submit case data to CDC during emergency responses: health departments in every U.S. state, New York City, Washington DC, 5 U.S. territories (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), and 3 freely associated states (Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau). No statistical sampling methods are used. The anticipated response rate is 100 percent.
Procedures for the Collection of Information
No statistical sampling methods are used. Public health departments review, process, analyze and voluntarily submit case data to CDC.
During emergency responses, most case data are sent to CDC by automated messaging. Some case data are sent to CDC by non-automated mechanisms including fax, email, secure file upload, and data entry to a secure website.
Methods to Maximize Response Rates and Deal with No Response
Methods are not necessary to maximize response rates and deal with no response. Jurisdictions voluntarily submit case data to CDC during emergencies. The response rate is 100 percent.
Test of Procedures or Methods to be Undertaken
No tests of procedures or methods will be undertaken.
Individuals Consulted on Statistical Aspects and Individuals Collecting and/or Analyzing Data
There are no individuals consulted on statistical aspects of the data collection design as no sampling is used. CDC collects and analyzes the information.
