Proposed Project

    Evaluation of State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to 
Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases--Reinstatement--National 
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDHP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In order to prevent and control obesity and other chronic diseases, 
CDC established state-based nutrition and physical activity programs to 
support the development and implementation of nutrition and physical 
activity interventions, particularly through population-based 
strategies such as policy-level changes, environmental supports and the 
social marketing process. The overall programmatic goal is to promote 
population-based behavior change, such as increased physical activity 
and better dietary habits, thus leading to a reduction in the 
prevalence of obesity, and ultimately to a reduction in the prevalence 
of chronic diseases. CDC funding for state nutrition and physical 
activity programs may be used for capacity building, collaboration, 
planning, monitoring the burden of obesity, intervention, and 
evaluation.
    CDC has previously collected information to evaluate the State 
Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other 
Chronic Diseases (OMB no. 0920-0669, exp. date 01/31/2008). The 
evaluation was designed to focus on recipient activities as outlined in 
the original funding announcement.
    CDC proposes to reinstate the information collection with minor 
changes to the data collection instrument, in response to 
recommendations from the respondents, CDC staff, and the evaluation 
contractor. Changes are designed to streamline and clarify questions 
and response options. The project will continue to be conducted over a 
3-year period. Information will be collected twice per year via a web-
based data collection system.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The 
total estimated annualized burden hours are 672.

                                       Estimated Annualized Burden Hours:
