• Goal of the study (e.g., determine behavioral factors that influence changes in weight over time or evaluate program delivery processes):
  
  
  

The goal of the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System Base System (NBS) Transition User Assessment is to gain actionable insight into the concerns and concrete needs of NBS jurisdictions that are considering or planning on upgrading their surveillance system to NBS 7. This insight will inform CDC’s strategic planning for resource allocation and support for moving jurisdictions onto NBS 7 and allow for stepping down the support for the current NBS version 6.

• Methods to be used to collect (e.g., prospective cohort design; randomized trial; etc.):

Combination of open-ended, Likert scale, and multiple-choice questions in an anonymous survey offered to 72 recipients across 24 state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health departments that use NBS.

• The subpopulation to be studied (e.g., school-age children in North Carolina, conference attendees):

NBS community of practice (CoP) comprised of STLT public health workers.

• How data will be analyzed (e.g., logistic regression, descriptive statistics):

These results will be used by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) to inform work required under their cooperative agreement with CDC to convene and support the NBS CoP and to inform national NBS priorities and modernization activities. The data collected in this NBS User Assessment will allow CDC to make informed decisions when planning for the transition of jurisdictions away from NBS 6 and potentially to NBS 7 for those with that goal. Actionable insights to be gleaned from these data include specific hosting or system functionalities that represent barriers to adoption, and technical/financial/training needs that exist in order to both transition to and maintain operation of a cloud-based NBS 7.
