SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Women's Reproductive Health
Care Provider Survey (WRHCPS); OMB Control Number: 0720-WRHS.
Needs and Uses: Health care provider knowledge, beliefs, and
practices may have an impact on active-duty service women's (ADSW)
access to contraception and overall reproductive health. The proposed
survey is devised to be a sufficiently large and representative sample
of the diverse professionals who provide reproductive and contraceptive
care to ADSW at health care visits (e.g., readiness visits, pre-
deployment, and during deployment). The survey will be designed to
capture provider self-reported beliefs, clinical knowledge on
reproductive health care (including contraceptive counseling) and
prescription of contraception care for and during deployment. Data and
analysis from the survey will enable DoD to evaluate, enhance, and
where needed, improve reproductive services delivery and educational
interventions; provide a strong basis for planning policy and services
related to ADSW's reproductive and contraceptive health; and provide
data, programs, and details necessary for replication and peer review.
In addition, the proposed one-time survey meets a Congressional mandate
and serves as an appropriate follow-up to the WRHS by determining
whether identified gaps in contraceptive access are the result of
provider knowledge and attitudes. The 116-48 SASC Report for FY2020
required DoD to conduct a survey to better understand provider
knowledge and beliefs related to provision of contraceptives to ADSW.
The target population of the survey includes uniformed (active
component only) and civilian MHS personnel.
Affected Public: Federal Government employees.
Annual Burden Hours: 709.
Number of Respondents: 2,128.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 2,128.
Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
Frequency: Once.
Dated: January 3, 2024.
