Proposed Project
Tourette Syndrome National Education and Outreach Program--New--
National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities
(NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This program will collect program evaluation data from participants
of educational workshops and recipients of educational resources on
Tourette Syndrome (TS) conducted by the Tourette Syndrome Association
in a cooperative agreement with the CDC.
TS is an inherited, neurobiological movement disorder characterized
by involuntary motor and vocal tics that typically manifest during
childhood. The exact number of people with TS is unknown. Data from the
National Survey of Children's Health 2007 resulted in an estimate that
3 out of every 1,000 U.S. children (about 148,000) 6 through 17 years
of age had been diagnosed with TS. Higher prevalence estimates obtained
from community studies likely mean that there are a significant number
of individuals who have TS, but who have not been diagnosed. TS is
three to four times more common among males than females.
It is estimated that tens of thousands or Americans with TS either
go undiagnosed or the clinical care they do receive is inadequate.
There is no known cure. The disorder may express itself with mild
symptoms for some, and severe symptoms for others. Depending on the
severity and duration, tic symptoms may also be diagnosed as chronic
motor or vocal tic disorder, transient tic disorder, and tic disorder
not otherwise specified. TS is associated with a high rate of co-morbid
conditions.
There is a lack of accurate treatment information among the medical
community as well as the general public, and a limited number of expert
physicians--all resulting in significant under-diagnosis, misdiagnosis,
and inadequate treatment with scant follow-up care. Children also meet
with stigma and inadequate responses in educational settings, limiting
their educational and social success.
To address these issues, the Tourette Syndrome Association has
developed educational workshops and materials to improve the
recognition and awareness of TS diagnosis, treatment, co-occurring
conditions, and quality of life for those impacted by TS. Health
education programs have been developed for 3 groups of audiences:
Health professionals, education professionals, and people with TS and
their families. The format includes general education programs for the
3 groups, as well as two more in-depth medical training programs for
physicians on TS and on the Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for
Tics (CBIT) treatment. In addition, a range of professional health
education materials in various formats have been developed as
educational resources and will be disseminated.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect program evaluation information
from workshop participants and recipients of educational materials over
a three-year period. Participants of the workshops and recipients of
educational resources will be completing program evaluation forms to
provide information on whether the workshop or resource met the
educational goals. The information will be used to improve future
workshops.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
