Proposed Project
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health Across the U.S.
(REACH U.S.) Management Information System--New--National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health Across the U.S.
(REACH U.S.) is a national, multi-level program that serves as the
cornerstone of CDC's efforts to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities
in health. Through REACH U.S., CDC currently supports forty local
coalitions to establish community-based programs and culturally-
appropriate interventions to eliminate racial and ethnic health
disparities. REACH U.S. serves communities with African American,
American Indian, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Pacific
Islander citizens.
The communities served by REACH U.S. are assessing the prevalence
of self-reported risk behaviors in the following key health priority
areas: Cardiovascular disease; diabetes mellitus; breast and cervical
cancer; adult/older adult immunizations, hepatitis B, and/or
tuberculosis; asthma; and infant mortality. Guided by logic models,
each community is required to articulate goals, objectives, and related
activities; track whether goals and objectives are met, ongoing, or
revised; and evaluate all program activities.
CDC requests OMB clearance for a new, customized, Internet-based
management information system, the REACH U.S. MIS, designed to replace
the current REACH Information Network (REACH IN, OMB 0920-
0603). The new REACH U.S. MIS will allow REACH grantees to perform
remote data entry and retrieval of data, create on-demand graphs and
reports of grantees' activities and accomplishments, monitor progress
toward the achievement of goals and objectives, and share and
synthesize information across grantees' activities. Both quantitative
and qualitative analyses can be performed. The REACH U.S. MIS will
collect new data elements needed to measure progress toward, or
achievement of, newly developed performance indicators, and will allow
CDC to monitor, and report on, grantee activities more efficiently. In
addition, data reported to CDC through the REACH U.S. MIS will be used
by CDC to identify training and technical assistance needs and to
obtain information needed to respond to Congressional and other
inquiries regarding program activities and effectiveness. Information
will be reported to CDC on a semi-annual schedule.
There are no costs to respondents except their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 120.
