Proposed Project: Health Status, Behaviors, and Health Service 
Perceptions of Non-College Educated and College Educated African 
American Women (Pilot Study)--NEW

    The Office of Minority and Women's Health (OMWH) in the Bureau of 
Primary Health Care (BPHC), Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA) awarded funding for a pilot study which will 
develop information about the design of a sample appropriate to 
determine the health status, behaviors, and health service perceptions 
of African American women who are: (1) College educated, and (2) low 
income, non-college educated. The pilot study will be used to evaluate 
the interview instrument and to discover the practical issues and 
feasibility of sampling low income African American women from the 
databases of community health centers in three test locations. The goal 
is to assess the instrument, the sample sources, the procedures, and 
the response rates and to determine the extent to which data can be 
collected in a systematic and comprehensive manner. The pilot study is 
the first step in a much larger nationwide effort to build a 
significant data set containing detailed information on health status, 
health indicators, and health behaviors of African American women.
    The burden estimate for the pilot study is as follows:
