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 404-639-5960 or
send comments to Maryam I. Daneshvar, CDC Acting Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail

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

Proposed Project
Exploratory Research with People Living with Lung Cancer--New--
Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Lung cancer is the most common cancer and leading cause of cancer
related mortality in the world. Each year, over 150,000 Americans are
diagnosed with lung cancer and a similar number die from the disease.
Due to the relatively low survival rate for individuals with lung
cancer (the five-year survival rate of all patients with lung cancer is
only 15%), the needs of individuals affected by lung cancer have
received less attention in health care research than the needs of
individuals with other types of cancer, resulting in a gap in knowledge
about a significant number of people living with the diagnosis of lung
cancer.
CDC proposes to conduct formative research to improve understanding
of the challenges and needs of individuals living with lung cancer.
Because smoking is one of the primary risk factors for lung cancer, the
research will include respondents with different types of smoking
history in order to explore the influence of smoking status on
individual experience with cancer diagnosis, stigma and discrimination,
and counseling and support services. For example, individuals who have
never smoked may face challenges in obtaining an initial diagnosis of
lung cancer, while current or former smokers may feel subject to
judgments or blame from others, including medical providers as well as
family and friends.
Information will be collected during in-depth interviews (IDIs)
with 27 respondents between the ages of 30 and 80 who have been
diagnosed with lung cancer. Three different types of respondents will
be recruited from partnering clinical practices in two U.S. cities:
Individuals who are Smokers (9), individuals who are Former Smokers
(9), and individuals who Never Smoked (9). Each telephone interview
will last approximately one hour.
The results of this exploratory research project will inform future
research activities and the development of health-related information
and services for the benefit of individuals living with lung cancer.
Project goals support the goals for cancer and communication described
in Healthy People 2010.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
