Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-5960 or send an e-mail
to omb@cdc.gov. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-6974.
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
A Study of Primary and Secondary Prevention Behaviors Practiced
Among Five-Year Survivors of Colorectal Cancer--New--National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer and the
second leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the
United States. In 2004, there were an estimated 145,083 new cases of
colorectal cancer diagnosed and 53,580 deaths. However, the five-year
relative survival rates of patients diagnosed with CRC have been
steadily increasing since 1975 and there are now over one million CRC
survivors in the U.S.
Despite improved survival rates, CRC survivors are at an elevated
risk for cancer recurrence, second primary cancers, and other health
problems after being treated for cancer. Research evidence suggests
that these elevated risks can be mitigated by healthy lifestyle
practices and by undergoing regular medical follow-up and cancer
screenings, however, little is known about the factors that motivate or
hinder the adoption of recommended cancer prevention and screening
behaviors in this population.
CDC proposes to conduct a survey of five-year CRC survivors to
collect information about knowledge, attitudes, psychosocial factors,
health status and behaviors, and utilization of health care services
including screening services. Potential survey respondents will be
identified through California Cancer Registry records. Each physician
associated with one or more CRC patients will be responsible for
reviewing a customized list of names to identify patients who should
not be contacted for recruitment into the study. Following receipt of
physician permission to contact potential participants, and receipt of
participant consent, 1,000 respondents will complete a survey of health
behaviors. Approximately 900 respondents are expected to complete a
self-administered survey that will be delivered and returned by mail,
and 100 respondents are expected to complete the survey by computer-
assisted telephone interview, in response to a follow-up call from
study staff. OMB clearance is being requested for one year of data
collection.
Findings from this study will help guide future policies, programs,
and interventions developed to enhance and improve the long-term health
and well being of cancer survivors.
There are no costs to respondents except the time to complete the
survey. The total estimated burden hours are 1,095.
