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: Project DIRECT: Phase 2 Evaluation of Impact of
Multilevel Community Interventions--New--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Prevention and Control (CDC). Project DIRECT (Diabetes Intervention
Reaching and Educating Communities Together) is the first comprehensive
community based project in the United States to address the growing
burden of diabetes in African Americans. The goal
[[Page 3363]]
of the project is to use existing knowledge of diabetes risk factors
and complications to implement community level interventions to reduce
the prevalence and severity of diabetes in communities with large
African American populations. A community in Raleigh, North Carolina
was selected as the demonstration site for the project. An area in
Greensboro, North Carolina was identified as a suitable comparison
community. CDC, Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT) is collaborating
with the state of North Carolina to implement and evaluate public
health strategies for reducing the burden of diabetes in this
predominantly African American community.
Project DIRECT has three distinct intervention components--Health
Promotion, Outreach, and Diabetes Care. The goals of all three
interventions are to reduce or prevent diabetes and its complications,
but each has a different but complimentary approach. In 1996-1997,
Project DIRECT implemented a baseline population-based survey.
Interventions have been employed since then and continue to the
present. A follow-up study is now required to evaluate the impact of
the multilevel approach to diabetes prevention and control. Data from
this project will be critical to CDC on-going efforts to reduce the
burden of diabetes, and to determine whether a similar program could be
implemented successfully in other communities. A pre-post design was
selected for the evaluation to determine if any changes observed from
these outcomes might be attributed to the interventions used in Project
DIRECT by comparing changes in the intervention and comparison
communities. The baseline study for the pre-post evaluation was
conducted during 1996-1997.
In Phase 2, households in the Raleigh and Greensboro communities
will be selected at random using mailing lists. An interviewer will
verify the address and do an initial screening for eligible
participants in the household. Eligible participants will be asked to
participate in the study and will have to complete a consent form. All
participants will be asked to complete an interview on their health
status and lifestyle and will be measured for height and weight.
Participants who self-report a history of diabetes will be asked
additional questions (diabetes module) about their management of
diabetes and its complications and other related health conditions.
All participants who self-report a history of diabetes and a sub-
sample of those without diabetes will be invited to participate in a
household examination that will include blood pressure and waist
circumference measurement and a blood draw for laboratory analysis
including glucose and lipids concentrations. For quality control
purposes, a small sample of participants will be asked to do a short
telephone interview to verify information collected during the general
interview. The estimated annualized burden for this data collection is
3,946 hours.
