DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request: Community
Evaluation of the National Diabetes Education Program's Diabetes
HealthSense Web Site
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive
and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request
for review and approval of the information collection listed below.
This proposed information collection was previously published in the
Federal Register on August 5, 2013, pages 47326 and 47327 and allowed
60-days for public comment. There was one public comment. The comment
conveyed broad discontent with the government's use of money and the
department's involvement in diabetes prevention. An acknowledgement of
receipt and a statement of appreciation was sent in response to this
comment. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days
for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct
or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an
information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented
on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
Proposed Collection: Community Evaluation of the National Diabetes
Education Program's Diabetes HealthSense Web Site. 0925-NEW, National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This study will be a multi-
component 3-year evaluation of Diabetes HealthSense, an online
compendium of psychosocial and behavioral resources to support
lifestyle changes. The required forms will support the following
evaluation tasks: (1) Assessing community educators' experience and
satisfaction with NDEP resources such as the Diabetes HealthSense Web
site; (2) Assess the extent to which, through participation in Diabetes
HealthSense educational sessions, community educators can increase
their knowledge and ability to promote and use NDEP resources; and (3)
Assess the extent to which the Web site, with guided exploration, can
facilitate changes in lifestyle to help prevent or manage diabetes. The
data collected from this evaluation will provide NDEP with information
about how community educators use NDEP-created resources in their
communities and whether the Diabetes HealthSense resource has its
intended effect on participants. Such data will help inform NDEP's
future decisions about the Diabetes HealthSense Web site, including
whether to make changes to Diabetes HealthSense, and whether to invest
additional resources to support, promote, or expand this resource.
Frequency of Response: One time study. Affected Public: Adults with
diabetes or at risk of diabetes and educators. Type of Respondents:
Adult intervention participants and community educators. The annual
reporting burden is outlined in the table below, and the annualized
cost to respondents is estimated at: $6,597.15. There are no
maintenance or capital costs to respondents to report.
OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 310.
