This is an information collection
request for a revision for three years. NCI’s Contact Center, The
Cancer Information Service (CIS), currently collects demographic,
customer service and smoking cessation information from clients
contacting CIS by telephone, email and through LiveHelp (an online
instant messaging service). Information is collected in order to
properly plan, implement, and evaluate cancer education efforts and
to provide smoking cessation services tailored to the individual
client’s needs. Since its inception in 1976, the CIS has handled
more than 12 million calls from the public. The potential universe
of Cancer Information Service (CIS) clients almost 252 million
respondents based on the U.S. Census estimate for 2017 of adults
estimated to be 18 years and older.

Additionally, increasing the
survey to 100% would allow for removal of sampling bias, more
specifically inclusion of individuals in hard-to-reach groups who
may currently be omitted or underrepresented with the current
simple random sampling methodology. In this OMB Package, we are
also introducing Callbacks into our service provision (Appendix
1E). Callbacks allow for the assessment and delivery of additional,
tailored cancer and clinical trials information based on an
individuals’ changing information needs throughout their cancer
journey. These callbacks are aimed to provide the individual more
control over their information needs and increase overall
satisfaction with provided CIS services.
