DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Vaccination has been recognized as one of the greatest U.S. public health achievements of the 20th century. However, implementation of new and established vaccines can pose significant challenges. Primary care providers play a central role in the process of immunization delivery and are, therefore, a critical source of information about the feasibility and acceptability of new or changing vaccination recommendations. In the current application we describe a multidisciplinary study team with the experience and expertise to rapidly design, conduct and analyze surveys of providers in order to respond to issues relevant to immunization delivery policy. The proposed study team has extensive experience in conducting mail, e-mail, telephone and mixed-modality surveys and in qualitative methods, should they be required. In addition, during two previous projects, the study team developed an innovative methodology of conducting rapid turnaround (within 8 weeks) policy-relevant surveys using networks of sentinel providers in each of the three primary care specialties (pediatrics, general internal medicine and family medicine), recruited to be representative of the relevant national organization for each specialty. In the current proposal we propose using this methodology to create sentinel physician networks in the three primary care specialties and, if needed, in other specialties including obstetrics and gynecology, public health, pharmacy or nursing. We will conduct a minimum of three provider surveys per year with high response rates and will plan to have preliminary data to CDC within 8 weeks after initiation of each survey protocol. We will use a previously successful process for collaborating with the CDC in the design and refinement of surveys and a mechanism for eliciting input regarding important policy issues from two national groups of advisors, a vaccine delivery expert advisory committee and a community advisory committee. We plan to disseminate findings of our surveys and qualitative studies through presentations at ACIP meetings and through publications of manuscripts jointly with CDC collaborators. The study team will work collaboratively with the CDC in the areas of highest priority to the current proposal, including input to inform recommendations for new vaccines, developing strategies to improve immunization coverage and issues related to instituting contingency plans to address urgent problems, such as vaccine supply shortages or vaccine safety issues. Such data will assist the CDC in making immunization policy recommendations and will inform efforts to create educational and outreach materials for providers and patients.

描述(申请人提供)：疫苗接种被公认为20世纪美国最伟大的公共卫生成就之一。然而，实施新的和现有的疫苗可能会带来巨大的挑战。初级保健提供者在提供免疫的过程中发挥着中心作用，因此是关于新的或不断变化的疫苗接种建议的可行性和可接受性的重要信息来源。在目前的申请中，我们描述了一个具有经验和专业知识的多学科研究团队，以快速设计、进行和分析提供者的调查，以应对与免疫提供政策相关的问题。拟议的研究小组在进行邮件、电子邮件、电话和混合模式调查以及在必要时采用定性方法方面具有丰富的经验。此外，在前两个项目中，研究小组开发了一种创新的方法，利用三个初级保健专科(儿科、普通内科和家庭医学)中每一个专科的哨兵提供者网络进行快速周转(在8周内)与政策有关的调查，这些哨兵提供者被招募为每个专科的相关国家组织的代表。在目前的提案中，我们建议使用这一方法在三个初级保健专科创建哨兵医生网络，如果需要，还可以在其他专科创建哨兵医生网络，包括妇产科、公共卫生、药剂学或护理。我们将每年至少进行三次高回复率的供应商调查，并计划在每个调查方案启动后8周内向疾控中心提交初步数据。我们将使用以前成功的与疾控中心合作的程序来设计和完善调查，并建立一个机制，以征求两个国家顾问小组--疫苗交付专家咨询委员会和社区咨询委员会--对重要政策问题的意见。我们计划通过在ACIP会议上的陈述和与CDC合作者联合出版手稿来传播我们的调查和定性研究的结果。研究小组将在当前提案最优先的领域与疾控中心合作，包括为新疫苗的建议提供信息，制定战略以提高免疫覆盖率，以及与制定应急计划相关的问题，以解决疫苗供应短缺或疫苗安全问题等紧急问题。这些数据将有助于疾控中心提出免疫政策建议，并将为为提供者和患者创建教育和宣传材料的努力提供信息。
