Proposed Project
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health across the U.S.
(REACH US) Evaluation--NEW--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Minority populations in the U.S. experience health disparities and
excess deaths due to the burden of disease. Analysis has shown that
more than eighty percent of excess deaths in minority populations are
accounted for by six disease areas: Cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
asthma, infant mortality, breast and cervical cancer, and diseases that
can be prevented through immunization. In response, CDC has funded a
national, multi-level community intervention program to eliminate
health disparities in specific priority areas, entitled ``Racial and
Ethnic Approaches to Community Health across the U.S. (REACH US).'' The
REACH US program will serve communities with African American, American
Indian, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Pacific Islander
citizens. The REACH US program extends previous CDC-funded efforts
funded through the related REACH 2010 program, and is part of the
Department of Health and Human Services' response to the President's
Race Initiative and to the Healthy People 2010 goal of eliminating
health disparities in the health status of racial and ethnic
minorities.
REACH US will help to continue assessing the prevalence of self-
reported risk behaviors associated with cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, health disparities in infant mortality, deficits in breast
and cervical cancer screening and management, and deficits in adult
immunizations. Annual surveys will be conducted in 29 REACH US
communities using Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI)
methodology. Information will be collected from 900 respondents in each
participating community. The REACH US questionnaire is modeled on the
questionnaire previously fielded through the REACH 2010 evaluation, and
contains questions that are standard public health performance measures
for each health priority area.
There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate
in the survey. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 9,875.
