Proposed Project
Follow-up Survey of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Georgia--New--
Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases (CCID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is planning a follow-up study of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
in metropolitan, urban and rural communities in Georgia. This is in
response to Congressional recommendations that the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) utilize advanced surveillance
methodologies for CFS to examine its natural history and identify risk
factors and biomarkers.
In 2004, OMB approved the information collection, Survey of Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome and Chronic Unwellness in Georgia, under OMB Number
0920-0638, which provided baseline information on prolonged fatiguing
illness in metropolitan, urban, and rural regions in Georgia. Data from
the proposed Follow-up Study of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Georgia
will be used to describe the clinical course of CFS and evaluate
behavioral and biochemical factors associated with outcome. This
follow-up study will also determine access to and utilization of health
care by persons with CFS and measure direct and indirect economic
burden due to the illness. As part of a control strategy, the
information from this follow up study will be used in national and
pilot regional provider education programs.
The proposed study continues the Georgia survey using similar
methodology and data collection instruments. This follow-up study
begins with a detailed telephone interview to obtain additional data on
participant health status during the last twelve month period. Eligible
subjects will be asked to participate in clinical evaluations. There
will be no cost to respondents other than their time. The estimated
total annualized burden hours are 861.
