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 email to
[email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-
5806. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this
notice.
Proposed Project
Evaluation of Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core
VIPP)--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Injuries and their consequences, including unintentional and
violence-related injuries, are the leading cause of death for the first
four decades of life, regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic
status. More than 179,000 individuals in the United States die each
year as a result of unintentional injuries and violence, more than 29
million others suffer non-fatal injuries and over one-third of all
emergency department (ED) visits each year are due to injuries. In
2000, injuries and violence ultimately cost the United States $406
billion, with over $80 billion in medical costs and the remainder lost
in productivity.\1\ Most events that result in injury and/or death from
injury could be prevented if evidence-based public health strategies,
practices, and policies were used throughout the nation.
CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is
committed to working with their partners to promote action that reduces
injuries, violence, and disabilities by providing leadership in
identifying priorities, promoting tools, and monitoring effectiveness
of injury and violence prevention and to promote effective strategies
for the prevention of injury and violence, and their consequences. One
tool NCIPC will use to accomplish this is the Core Violence and Injury
Prevention Program (VIPP). This program funds state health departments
to build effective delivery systems for dissemination, implementation
and evaluation of evidence based/best practice programs and policies.
Core VIPP also focuses on the integration of unintentional injury
and violence prevention. Unintentional injury and violence prevention
have many common risk and protective factors for children. In an
endeavor to promote efforts to prevent child maltreatment, a NCIPC
priority, CDC is collaborating with the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) regarding the new Affordable Care Act (ACA)
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program. The state
health departments funded by the Core VIPP will be required to partner
with the state agency responsible for administration of the State Home
Visiting program.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect program evaluation data for
Core VIPP over a three-year period. Specifically, CDC will use the Safe
States Alliance State of the States (SOTS) survey as the template for
annual evaluation surveys and an annual follow-up telephone interview.
Both the SOTS and the telephone interviews will be conducted with state
Violence and Injury Prevention programs directors and staff. This
approach provides a means to collect standardized, systematic data from
the Core VIPP grantees for program evaluation and improvement. Topics
for data collection include: Program evaluation, state injury and
violence prevention program (IVP) infrastructure, IVP strategies and
partners, policy strategies, injury surveillance, quality of
surveillance, and regional network leaders. Part of the requirement for
receiving Core VIPP funding is for State Injury and Violence Programs
(SIVPs) to develop and maintain their own evaluation capacity and data
systems; thus, this data collection is not expected to entail
significant burdens to respondents.
Estimates of burden for the survey are based on previous experience
with evaluation data collections conducted by the evaluation staff. The
State of the States (SOTS) web-based survey assessment will be
completed by 28 Core Funded State Health Departments (SHDs) and 22 Non-
Funded SHDs, taking 3 hours to complete. The SOTS Financial Module will
also be completed by the 28 Core Funded and 22 Non-Funded SHD, taking 1
hour to complete. The telephone interviews will take 1.5 hours to
conclude and will be completed by the 28 Core Funded States. We expect
that each of the 28 Core Funded states will complete three web-based
surveys and three telephone interviews during the first three years of
Core funding. It is anticipated that up to 22 unfunded states will
complete three web-based surveys during the first three years of Core
funding.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annual burden hours are 242.
