Case Service Design: A Day in the Life Qualitative Study
Goal of the study (e.g., determine behavioral factors that influence changes in weight over time or evaluate program delivery processes):
Case surveillance occurs each time public health agencies at the local, state, or national levels collect information about a case or person diagnosed with a disease or condition that poses a serious health threat to Americans. The goal of this project is to improve CDC products and services that receive, process, and use case surveillance data.
Intended use of the resulting data (e.g., provide suggestions for improving community-based programs):
We plan to gather qualitative data in person at public health departments in different states, tribes, localities, and territories through semi-structured interviews and contextual inquiries with participants. We will use this data to improve CDC products and services that receive, process, and use case surveillance data.
Methods to be used to collect (e.g., prospective cohort design; randomized trial; etc.):
Data collection methods include semi-structured interviews and contextual inquiries with participants to understand the current state of case data exchange so we can improve the process. We plan to do this at a minimum of 15 different sites. There will be at least 2-3 participants per site.
The subpopulation to be studied (e.g., school-age children in North Carolina, conference attendees):
The respondents we hope to talk to may have a variety of titles: data entry folks, case investigators, data analysts, surveillance system managers, surveillance program managers or infectious disease program managers at state, tribal, or local health departments.
How data will be analyzed (e.g., logistic regression, descriptive statistics):
Descriptive analysis will be used to analyze the data.
