DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Public Law 104-13), the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects
being developed for submission to OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995. To request more information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the data collection plans and draft instruments, call
the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Design for the Evaluation of the Maternal and Child
Health Bureau, Bright Futures for Women's Health and Wellness
Initiative and Preliminary Evaluation of Initial Products--New
The HRSA Office of Women's Health (OWH) is developing the Bright
Futures for Women's Health and Wellness (BFWHW) Initiative to help
expand the scope of women's preventive health activities, particularly
related to nutrition and physical activity. A pilot test of the BFWHW
health promotion tools and materials will be conducted in order to
improve the effectiveness of the tools themselves, and to gather
feedback on productive strategies for disseminating the tools for
appropriate use to training providers and community organizations.
Thus, the empirical findings from this pilot test will help shape the
final BFWHW tool development. This data collection effort will ensure
that the HRSA OWH develops targeted and effective tools for translating
health prevention recommendations into nutrition and physical activity
messages.
Toward this end, data will be collected from women patients,
providers, and representatives of community organizations. Women
patients ages 18 and over of various racial and ethnic backgrounds will
complete questionnaires at three health centers in different geographic
areas of the country. The health care providers at these same sites
will also be asked to complete a brief questionnaire. Telephone
interviews will be completed with representatives from community
organizations located in the service areas of these health centers. The
data collection period is estimated to last three weeks.
The estimated response burden is as follows:
