Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects.
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call 404-639-4766
and send comments to Seleda Perryman, CDC Assistant Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail
to [email protected].
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. Written comments should be received
within 60 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
The 2nd 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).
Background and Brief Description
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. The use of
outcome data (e.g., fatal injuries) for measuring program effectiveness
is problematic because cause-specific events are relatively rare and
data on critical risk factors (e.g., whether a helmet was worn in a
bike crash, whether a smoke detector was present at a fatal fire, etc.)
are often missing. Because these risk factors occur early in the causal
chain of injury, injury control programs generally target them 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 (18 years of age or older) in the United States. Proxy data were
collected on 3,541 children less than 15 years old. More than a dozen
peer-reviewed scientific reports have been published from the ICARIS
data on related subjects including dog bites, bicycle helmet use,
residential smoke detector usage, fire escape practices, attitudes
toward violence, suicidal ideation/behavior, and compliance with
pediatric injury prevention counseling.
ICARIS-2 is a national telephone survey focusing on injuries. The
survey process began in the summer of 2001 and was completed in early
2003. Analyses are currently being conducted on the data collected on
nearly 10,000 respondents. 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 2nd phase of ICARIS-2 is needed to expand knowledge in areas
investigators could not fully explore previously. By using data
collected in ICARIS as a baseline, the data collected in Phase-2 will
be used to measure changes and gauge the impact of injury prevention
policies. This current national telephone survey on injury risk is
being implemented to fully monitor injury risk factors and selected
year ``Healthy People 2010'' injury objectives, as well as evaluate the
effectiveness of injury prevention programs. There are no costs to
respondents except their time to participate in the survey.
