Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act
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
(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
Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting System (OMB 0920-0612, exp. 1/31/
2014)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The WISEWOMAN program (Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for
Women Across the Nation), administered by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), was established to examine ways to
improve the delivery of services for women who have limited access to
health care and elevated risk factors for cardio vascular disease
(CVD). The program focuses on reducing CVD risk factors and provides
screening services for selected risk factors such as elevated blood
cholesterol, hypertension, and abnormal blood glucose levels. The
program also provides women with referrals to lifestyle programs and
medical care. The WISEWOMAN program currently provides services to
approximately 45,000 women who are jointly enrolled in the National
Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), also
administered by CDC. CDC collects information from WISEWOMAN awardees
through the ``WISEWOMAN Reporting System'' (OMB No. 0920-0612, exp. 1/
31/2014).
New WISEWOMAN cooperative agreements were awarded in 2013 and CDC
seeks to continue information collection for three years, with
revisions. The new funding period will reflect an increased emphasis on
efficient oversight of program awardees and documenting program
outcomes. As a result, the WISEWOMAN information collection will be
revised to support updated program goals. Revisions to be implemented
include a reduction in the frequency of progress report submission--
from twice per year to once per year--and changes to the content of the
Minimum Data Element (MDE) submissions. This will result in an overall
net decrease in respondent burden. The first reports based on the
revised reporting requirements will be submitted to CDC in April 2014.
The hardcopy progress report provides a narrative summary of each
awardee's objectives and the activities undertaken to meet program
goals, including public education and outreach. The estimated burden
per response is 16 hours.
The MDE include information that describes risk factors for the
women served in each program and the number and type of lifestyle
program sessions they attend. MDE information has previously been
submitted to CDC in two electronic transmissions. The burden for
Screening and Assessment MDE was estimated at 16 hours per response and
the burden for Lifestyle Program MDE was estimated at 8 hours per
response.
Upon OMB approval of the proposed Revision, the MDE will be
submitted as a single electronic file with a combined estimated burden
per response of 24 hours. The total number of MDE variables will
increase from 66 to 85. The number of variables relating to Lifestyle
Programs will decrease and the number of variables relating to
Screening and Assessment will increase.
CDC will continue to use the information collected from WISEWOMAN
awardees to support continuous program monitoring and improvement
activities, evaluation, and assessment of program outcomes. The overall
program evaluation is designed to demonstrate how WISEWOMAN can obtain
more complete health data on vulnerable populations, promote public
education about disease incidence, cardiovascular disease risk-factors,
health promotion, to improve the availability of screening and
diagnostic services for under-served women, ensure the quality of
services provided to under-served women, and develop strategies for
improved interventions. Participation in this information collection is
required as a condition of cooperative agreement funding. There are no
costs to respondents other than their time.
The total annualized burden hours are 1,344.
