Proposed Project
Use of Evidence-Based Practices for Comprehensive Cancer Control--
New--National Center on Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
There have been increasing calls in the fields of public health
generally and cancer control specifically for the dissemination,
adoption, and implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs). EBPs
are public health practices (interventions, programs, strategies,
policies, procedures, processes, and/or activities) that have been
tested or evaluated and shown to be effective. However, while the
development, review, and compilation of EBPs has steadily increased
over time, there is concern that the adoption and implementation of
those practices, including among cancer control planners and
practitioners, has not kept pace. Given the gap between the development
of EBPs and their use, public health and cancer control organizations
need to place greater emphasis on the promotion and dissemination of
these practices among those who can use them to improve population
health. While efforts to promote cancer control EBPs have increased,
questions remain whether these efforts will result in widespread
adoption and implementation of EBPs in the context of comprehensive
cancer control (CCC) in the states, Tribes, and U.S. Associated Pacific
Island Jurisdictions and territories. National Comprehensive Cancer
Control Program (NCCCP) grantees may face a number of challenges to
incorporating EBPs into CCC efforts in their jurisdictions. In order to
address these barriers effectively and better promote the use of EBPs
for cancer control, CDC would like to understand (1) how evidence-based
[[Page 68466]]
approaches are currently being used to develop CCC plans; (2) how CCC
programs identify EBPs; (3) what EBPs have been adopted by CCC
programs; and (4) what challenges and unintended consequences have been
encountered in their implementation.
The purpose of the proposed project is to examine CCC planners' use
of scientific and practice-based information to inform development of
CCC plans and to select evidence-based interventions. CDC will sponsor
two surveys among 66 key CCC stakeholders in the NCCCP-funded states,
Tribes, and U.S. Associated Pacific Island Jurisdictions and
territories. The first will be a survey with the 66 Directors of the
NCCCP-funded programs. The second will be a Web-based survey of key
program partners/collaborators identified by the Program Directors (on
average, two partners per Director, or 132 partners) as instrumental to
the selection and implementation of cancer control EBPs. The surveys
will identify technical assistance needs of the programs related to
selection and implementation of EBPs and will contribute to CDC's
efforts to build the capacities of states, Tribes, and Pacific Island
Jurisdictions and territories toward more effective efforts in cancer
prevention and control. In addition, the results may lead to new
insights and questions that can be addressed in future studies.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. OMB
approval is requested for one year. The total estimated burden hours
are 138.
