Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting System for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Control Programs--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Although chronic diseases are among the most common and costly
health problems, they are also among the most preventable. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works with states,
territories, tribal organizations, and the District of Columbia
(collectively referred to as ``state-based'' programs) to develop,
implement, manage, and evaluate chronic disease prevention and control
programs. Support and guidance for these programs have been provided
through cooperative agreement funding and technical assistance,
administered by CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). Partnerships and collaboration with
other Federal agencies, nongovernmental organizations, local
communities, public and private sector organizations, and major
voluntary associations have been critical to the success of these
efforts.
CDC seeks OMB approval for three years to collect progress and
activity information from health departments funded for four program
areas: Tobacco control, diabetes prevention and control, Healthy
Communities, and state-based behavioral risk factor surveillance.
Information will be collected electronically through a new, electronic
Management Information System (MIS). Information will be collected on
each program area's objectives, planning activities, resources,
partnerships, policy and environmental strategies for preventing or
controlling chronic diseases, and progress toward meeting goals. The
new MIS harmonizes the progress reporting framework for all program
areas and
[[Page 41207]]
will support the collection of accurate, reliable, uniform and timely
information. The MIS will generate a variety of routine and
customizable reports that will allow each State or program to summarize
its activities and progress. CDC will also have the capacity to
generate reports that describe activities across multiple States and/or
programs. The new MIS will replace two previously approved systems used
by tobacco control programs (OMB No. 0920-0601, exp. 5/31/2010) and
diabetes prevention and control programs (OMB No. 0920-0479, exp. 4/30/
2013), which are being phased out.
CDC will use the information collection to monitor each program's
progress and use of federal funds, to identify strengths and
weaknesses, to make adjustments in the type and level of technical
assistance provided to programs, and to respond to inquiries.
Respondents will use the information collection to manage and
coordinate their activities and to improve their efforts to prevent and
control chronic diseases.
The initial set of respondents will be health departments in all 50
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. All awardees will report on tobacco control, diabetes
prevention and control, behavioral risk factor surveillance, and
Healthy Communities, with the exception of the District of Columbia,
which is not currently participating in Healthy Communities.
Information will be collected electronically twice per year. There
are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 2,532.
