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) 639-7570 or send an email to
[email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-5806.
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Impact Evaluation of CDC's Colorectal Cancer Control Program
(CRCCP)--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer
deaths in the U.S.; however, screening can effectively reduce CRC
incidence and mortality. CDC's Colorectal Cancer Control Program
(CRCCP) was established to increase population-level screening rates to
80 percent. Currently, 25 states and four tribal organizations receive
CDC funds to increase colorectal cancer screening rates. The CRCCP is
the first cancer prevention and control program funded by CDC
emphasizing both the direct provision of screening services and broader
screening promotion. CRCCP grantees are required to establish evidence-
based colorectal cancer screening delivery programs for persons
[[Page 45202]]
50-64 years of age, focusing on asymptomatic persons at average risk
for CRC with low incomes and inadequate or no health insurance coverage
for CRC screening. Approximately 33 percent of each grantee award may
be used to fund the provision of screening and diagnostic tests.
Additional program activities such as patient recruitment, patient
navigation, provider education, quality assurance, and data management
are also supported under this component of the program.
The CRCCP offers a unique and important opportunity to evaluate the
efficacy of this new public health model. CDC plans to conduct an
impact evaluation to determine whether CRCCP program activities
increase state-level colorectal cancer screening rates and other
proximal outcomes. The impact evaluation will use a quasi-experimental,
control group design with pre- and post-tests involving a total of six
states: three CRCCP grantee states (Alabama, Nebraska, and Washington)
represent the intervention programs and three non-CRCCP states
(Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin) represent the control states.
CDC plans to complete two cycles of information collection over a
three-year period. The first information collection will be initiated
in 2013 and the second information collection will be initiated in
2015. Three types of information will be collected at each time,
including: (1) A general population survey administered by telephone
with a state-based, representative, cross-sectional, random sample of
adults aged 50-75 (population survey); (2) a mail-back, written, survey
of a state-based, representative sample of primary care providers
(provider survey); and (3) qualitative case studies of program
implementation (case studies) based on interviews with Colorectal
Control Program staff, program evaluators, and state and local partners
in both grantee and non-grantee states. Information will be collected
from each site to identify interviewees and prepare for the site visit.
The general population survey includes questions related to
knowledge of and attitudes toward colorectal cancer, history of
colorectal cancer screening and intentions for future screening, and
barriers to screening. The estimated burden per response is 23 minutes.
The provider survey of primary care physicians includes questions
related to knowledge of colorectal cancer screening guidelines and
screening quality, office systems that support screening, and patterns
of referrals to screening. The estimated burden per response is 12
minutes. For the case studies, interview guides will be used to conduct
interviews with program staff and stakeholders to gather detailed
information about colorectal cancer screening provision and promotion
efforts. The estimated burden for each interview is one hour to one
hour and 15 minutes. Evaluation staff will also collect information
through document review and field observation.
The information to be collected will be used to assess the impact
of the CRCCP in improving proximal outcomes (e.g., provider knowledge,
population attitudes) and in increasing population-level CRC screening
rates. Results of the evaluation will be used to improve program
performance, plan future public health programs, and improve
efficiencies. OMB approval is requested for three years. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 2,425. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
