Data were directly entered if the surveys were completed
online or otherwise entered via Teleform software
and were analyzed using SAS 9.2. ‘‘Strongly disagree’’ and
‘‘somewhat disagree’’ responses to questions were grouped
as ‘‘Disagree’’ due to few responses. ‘‘Strongly agree’’ and
‘‘somewhat agree’’ were retained as two distinct categories
because a large enough number of responses were obtained
for each category to allow examination of differences. Chi
square tests were used to assess statistical differences for
categorical variables and differences in responses by provider
types. The survey was determined to be public health
practice by CDC and was exempted from IRB review.
