“Task 1. The Contractor shall (1) collect quitline data, including but not limited to, individual quitline participant data, individual quitline call (quitline contact) data, and aggregate quitline data collected via the intake questionnaires, Services Survey, and 7-month follow-up questionnaires, from states and territories (or their designees) and the ASQ for the NQDW, (2) perform quality checks on the data submitted and query states or their designees about missing data and/or errors to ensure that data is complete and of high quality…”
“Task 2. The Contractor shall maintain a system to track and report on the workflow related to the collection, cleaning, processing, quality assessment and control, and analysis of NQDW data. Additionally, data analysis inquiries and interactions with CDC-OSH quitline researchers and evaluators, grantees, quitline service providers should be included. Status and progress updates on all NQDW-related activities should be provided by the Contractor during bi-weekly meetings with CDC-OSH.”
“Task 3. The Contractor shall respond to queries of the NQDW data for the Tips from a Former Smoker Campaign and other inquiries. This will include querying, analysis, reporting of NQDW data as well as the provision of documented analysis methods and limitations. Requests for queries shall be responded to within two business days and fulfilled within five business days of the queries. It is anticipated the need for querying will be approximately three to four requests per month.”
“Task 4. The Contractor shall develop, produce, and finalize two standard formatted reports about NQDW data. The first report should provide guidance on NQDW data analysis and data utilization for the purposes of quitline program monitoring and evaluation. The Contractor should draw on experience in analyzing and reporting quitline data, cessation data, data from tobacco education campaigns, and related tobacco control programmatic, policy, and individual-level tobacco use data. It should be submitted to OSH by March 30th. The second report should provide recommendations to improve the efficiency of NQDW data collection and processing and to maximize the quality, impact, and utility of the NQDW as a data source for researchers…”
“Task 5. The Contractor shall institute and maintain a system to transfer finalized data into the NQDW in an analytic file (SAS and Stata formats) no later than 4 months after requesting quitline data from states and territories (or their designees). For example, Q1 intake data requested by January 15th shall be transferred to CDC-OSH by May 15th. Additionally, the Contractor shall submit to CDC-OSH NQDW data that has been formatted for integration into OSH-Data and the STATE System on a bi-annual basis aligned with the collection of Services Survey data…”
“Task 6. The Contractor shall work in close collaboration with OSH to conduct analysis to support research and evaluation questions developed by OSH using NQDW data. This close collaboration includes preliminary exploratory analysis to inform research questions, design, and methodology used to develop OSH concept proposals, and final analysis to inform presentation and interpretation of the results. The contractor shall complete each preliminary analysis and submit analytic results, statistical code, and a draft written description of the analytic approach within two weeks of receiving the request from OSH…”
