Proposed Project
Case Studies of Communities and States Funded under Community
Activities under the Communities Putting Prevention to Work
Initiative--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes are
among the leading causes of death and disability in the United States,
but are among the most preventable health problems. Adopting healthy
behaviors such as eating nutritious foods, being physically active and
avoiding tobacco use can prevent or control the devastating effects of
these diseases.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) allotted
$650 million to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to
support evidence-based prevention and wellness strategies. The
cornerstone of the initiative is the Communities Putting Prevention to
Work (CPPW) Community Program, administered by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). Through this program, all States and
territories, and 44 communities, have received cooperative agreement
funding to implement evidence-based community approaches to chronic
disease prevention over a 24-month period. In September 2010, the
initiative was expanded to include additional communities funded
through a $34 million allotment from the Affordable Care Act. The long-
term goals of the CPPW are to modify the environmental determinants of
risk factors for chronic diseases, prevent or delay chronic diseases,
promote wellness in children and adults, and provide positive,
sustainable health change in communities.
Grantees are working with partners such as local and State health
departments and agencies, health centers, schools, businesses,
community and faith-based organizations, academic institutions, health
care and mental health organizations, and others to create policies,
systems, and environments that promote improvements in physical
activity and nutrition, and decrease the prevalence of obesity and
tobacco use. Each grantee has selected strategies for implementing
change from five categories involving media, access, price, point of
purchase decision, and support services (MAPPS). These approaches were
selected from a reference set of evidence-based strategies provided by
CDC.
CDC proposes to collect information from a subset of CPPW States
and communities to gain insight into the factors that facilitate or
hinder implementation of the MAPPS strategies and effective creation of
the desired policy, system, and environmental changes. Intensive case
studies will be conducted with 24 sites: Six ARRA-funded CPPW States,
15 ARRA-funded CPPW communities, and three communities funded by the
Affordable Care Act. The case study sites will be selected to include a
mix of State or community characteristics related to population
density, geographic region, and targeted population.
Information will be collected during personal interviews with an
average of 20 respondents at each case study site. On average, each
site's respondents will consist of the program director and one
additional member of the site management team; four additional CPPW
staff members; a mix of seven Community Partners, Leadership Team
Members and implementers; and a mix of seven policy- and decision-
makers. To obtain a variety of perspectives, respondents will include
representatives of the private sector as well as representatives from
the State and local government sector. The length of the interview and
the questions asked will vary according to the type of respondent being
interviewed. Three Interview Guide instruments have been developed to
facilitate the case study interviews.
The interview scheduling process is also estimated to entail six
hours of burden per site. Each site's program director will take about
one hour to complete an Interview Planning Tool, and a CPPW staff
member will devote approximately five hours to coordinating interviews
and completing the final Worksheet for Scheduling Site Visit
Interviews.
Participation is required for each case study site, however,
participation in the interviews will be voluntary for individual
respondents.
The case study information to be collected will assist the Federal
government, State and local governments, and communities in planning
future strategies designed to promote sustainable policy, systems and
environmental changes that improve public health. As a result of the
CPPW program, powerful models of success are expected to emerge that
can be replicated in other States and communities.
OMB approval is requested for two years. Information will be
collected at the beginning of the CPPW funding period and again
approximately 18 months post-award. The total estimated annualized
burden to respondents is 678 hours. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
