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 [email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-5806.
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Improving the Quality and Delivery of CDC's Heart Disease and
Stroke Prevention Programs--New--Division for Heart Disease and Stroke
Prevention (DHDSP), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Heart disease and stroke are among the most widespread and costly
causes of death and disability in the U.S., but are also among the most
preventable health problems. In 2006, CDC created the Division of Heart
Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) to provide national leadership
for efforts to reduce the burden of disease, disability, and death from
heart disease and stroke.
Many heart disease and stroke prevention and control activities are
conducted through DHDSP-funded heart disease and stroke prevention
programs. The DHDSP's key partners include state and local health
departments, public health organizations, community organizations,
nonprofit organizations, and professional organizations. The DHDSP
supports partners by conducting trainings, providing scientific
guidance and technical assistance, and producing scientific information
and supporting tools. For example, the DHDSP provides training to
States on how to implement and evaluate their programs and provides
guidance on how to best apply evidence-based practices. In addition,
the DHDSP translates its scientific studies into informational
products, such as on-line reports and trend data.
The DHDSP requests OMB approval of a generic clearance to support a
variety of information collections needed to assess the relevance,
quality and impact of DHDSP trainings, technical assistance, and
products. The generic clearance will provide a common framework for
many of DHDSP's planning and evaluation activities and enhance DHDSP's
ability to coordinate information collection with product releases,
professional conferences, and other events. The information to be
collected will allow the DHDSP to identify new programmatic
opportunities and respond quickly to partners' concerns in a timely
manner. Whenever feasible, DHDSP will collect information
electronically to reduce burden. Information may also be collected
through in-person or telephone interviews or focus groups when web-
based surveys are impractical or when in-depth responses are required.
Respondents will be DHDSP's partners in State and local government
as well as partner organizations in the private sector. The DHDSP
estimates that it will collect information each year from approximately
506 respondents through web-based surveys, approximately 406
respondents through interviews, and approximately 64 respondents
through focus groups. No one type of respondent will be asked to
participate in more than two surveys, interviews, or focus groups
annually. The length of online surveys will be limited to 30 minutes
and in-person interviews and focus groups limited to one hour or less.
CDC requests OMB approval of the generic clearance for three years.
The initial generic information collection request describes plans to
conduct two specific surveys. An additional information collection
request, outlining purpose, respondents and methodology, will be
submitted to OMB for each subsequent information collection activity.
The information to be collected will be used to determine whether
DHDSP activities and products are reaching the intended audiences,
whether they are deemed to be useful by those audiences, and whether
DHDSP efforts improve public health practice.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 723.
