Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 498-1210. Send written
comments to CDC, Desk Officer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, New
Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503, or by fax
to (202) 395-6974. Written comments should be received within 30 days
of this notice.
Proposed Project: The Second Injury Control and Risk Survey (ICARIS
2) Phase 2--New--The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This project
will use data from a telephone survey to measure injury-related risk
factors and guide injury prevention and control priorities including
those identified as priorities in Healthy People 2010 objectives for
the nation. Injuries are a major cause of premature death and
disability with associated economic costs of over 150 billion dollars
in lifetime costs for persons injured each year. Healthy People 2010
objectives and the recent report from the Institute of Medicine,
Reducing the Burden of Injury, call for reducing this toll.
In addition to national efforts, NCIPC funds injury control
prevention programs at the state and local levels. These programs need
data both to establish their prevention priorities and monitor their
performance. The use of outcome data (e.g., fatal injuries) for
measuring program effectiveness is problematic because cause-specific
events are relatively rare and because data on critical risk factors
(e.g., was a helmet worn in a bike crash or was a smoke detector
present at a fatal fire?) are often missing. Because these risk factors
are early in the causal chain of injury, they are what injury control
programs target to prevent injuries. Accordingly, monitoring the level
of injury risk factors in a population can help programs set priorities
and evaluate interventions.
The first Injury Control and Risk Factor Survey (ICARIS), conducted
in 1994, was a random digit dial telephone survey that collected injury
risk factor and demographic data on 5,238 English- and Spanish-speaking
adults (greater than or equal to 18 years old) in the United States.
Proxy data were collected on 3,541 children <15 years old. More than a
dozen peer-reviewed scientific reports have been published from the
ICARIS data on subjects including dog bites, bicycle helmet use,
residential smoke detector usage and fire escape practices, attitudes
toward violence, suicidal ideation and behavior, and compliance with
pediatric injury prevention counseling.
ICARIS-2, a national telephone survey about injury, which began in
the summer of 2000, has collected data on more than 8,700 of the
targeted 10,200 respondents to date. The first phase of the survey was
initiated as a means for monitoring the injury risk factor status of
the nation at the start of the millennium. The second phase of the
survey is needed to expand knowledge in areas investigators could not
fully explore, previously. By using data collected in ICARIS as a
baseline, data collected in ICARIS-2 Phase-2 will be used along with
data currently being collected (ICARIS-2 Phase-1) to measure changes
and gauge the impact of injury prevention policies. The ICARIS-2
surveys may also serve as the only readily available source of data to
measure several of the Healthy People 2010 injury prevention
objectives. In order to more fully monitor injury risk factors and
selected year Healthy People 2010 injury objectives, as well as
evaluate the effectiveness of injury prevention programs, the second
phase (ICARIS-2 Phase-2) of the current national telephone survey on
injury risk is being implemented. The only cost to the respondents is
the time involved to complete the survey. The estimated annualized
burden is 1521.
