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 National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System--All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP) Special Study on Motor Vehicle
Safety--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of death in the U.S.
for people aged 1-34. In 2000, more than 40,000 people died as a result
of motor vehicle-related injuries. In addition, motor vehicle injuries
account for millions of emergency department visits annually, with many
victims suffering permanent disabilities. Our goal at the National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control is to reduce these deaths and
disabilities. A recent priority-setting process revealed several gaps
in our knowledge of motor vehicle safety that could be filled with
enhancements to the NEISS All-Injury Program data collection system.
Scientific knowledge is being advanced through an expansion of the
National Electronic Injury Surveillance System All Injury Program
(NEISS-AIP), a collaborative effort by CDC, National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC). The NEISS-AIP collects data about all types and
external causes of non-fatal injuries and poisonings treated in U.S.
hospital emergency departments (EDs). Currently, NEISS-AIP collects
information only on the most severe injury. CDC proposes to expand
NEISS-AIP by inserting a special screen study for one year, which will
be triggered by coding motor vehicle as the cause of the injury. This
special screen will permit us to collect all injury diagnoses and body
parts affected (up to five), as well as restraint use and blood alcohol
concentration for all motor vehicle occupants, when this information is
included in the medical chart. The study will identify within that
population, child occupants aged 0-12 years. A telephone follow-back
survey of parents and caregivers will then be conducted to collect
information about their child's seating position, restraint type, and
vehicle and crash characteristics. This project will provide vital
information about the type and number of injuries incurred in order to
improve upon existing interventions or develop new interventions. The
estimated annualized burden is 271 hours.
