Description

The Office of Laboratory Science (OLSci) Laboratory Training Activity (LTA) team within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) creates, delivers, and maintains laboratory trainings on topics such laboratory safety, biosecurity, and core laboratory skills and knowledge. The LTA also provides oversight and management of CDC’s first simulated High Containment Laboratory Training Facility (LTF). The LTF provides a laboratory classroom setting for training without the use of pathogens. Tours are also scheduled for visitors to walkthrough the BSL-2/-3 and BSL-4 suites. Visitors include CDC staff, external and partner organizations, international visitors, and US government officials. The tours detail the history of the LTF, use of equipment, demonstrations, and simulations.

Goals/Purpose

The purpose of this customer feedback evaluation survey is to collect information from visitors on their tour of the Laboratory Training Facility to improve future tours.

Objective

The objective is to collect information from each visitor to enhance the quality of the tours (e.g., learning about the LTF, public health, and laboratory science).

Does your project measure health disparities among populations/groups experiencing social, economic, geographic, and/or environmental disadvantages?

No

Does your project investigate underlying contributors to health inequities among populations/groups experiencing social, economic, geographic, and/or environmental disadvantages?

No

Does your project propose, implement, or evaluate an action to move towards eliminating health inequities?

No

CDC's Role

Activity originated and designed by CDC staff, or conducted at the specific request of CDC, or CDC staff will approve study design and data collection as a condition of any funding provided

Method Categories

Survey

Methods

After each tour, a visitor will be able to access an evaluation survey using a Quick Response (QR) code posted at various locations throughout the LTF to provide general customer feedback on their visit. Clicking on the evaluation survey link via the QR code will open SurveyMonkey.
