Proposed Project
Evaluation of Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core
VIPP)--Revision--(0920-0916, Expiration 1/13/2014)--National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), 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.\1\ 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 actions that reduce
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 goal is through the use of the
Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core VIPP). This program
funds state health departments (SHDs) to build their capacity to
disseminate, implement, and evaluate evidence-based/best practice
programs and policies. This evaluation will consider the implementation
and outcomes of Core VIPP during the five-year funding period from
August 2011 to July 2016. The Core VIPP will support funded states in
building capacity and achieving health impact in their states. The key
components of violence and injury prevention (VIP) capacity for Core
Base Integration Component (BIC) VIPP are defined as: infrastructure,
evaluation, strategies, collaboration, and surveillance.
CDC requests OMB approval to continue to collect program evaluation
data for Core VIPP for an additional three-year period. The purpose of
the evaluation is to track states' progress toward: (1) Achieving the
Performance Measures identified in the Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA); (2) building and/or sustaining their VIP capacity; and (3)
achieving their focus area SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable,
Reasonable, and Time-bound) objectives. The ability of states to make
progress towards their SMART objectives will serve as a measure of Core
VIPP's impact on the burden of violence and injury related morbidity
and mortality in funded states.
The primary data collections methods will be used in the evaluation
include: (1) Interim and annual progress reports, (2) online surveys,
and (3) interviews. The progress reports will track states' performance
measures and the activities stated in the Core VIPP FOA and monitor
states' progress toward their focus area SMART objectives; the online
survey will be used to measure grantees' changes in VIP capacity.
Interviews will be used to provide more in-depth information about the
key facilitators and barriers states have encountered while
implementing their violence prevention programs.
The table below details the annualized number of respondents, the
average response burden per interview, and the total response burden
for the surveys and telephone interviews. 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 20 Core Funded
State Health Departments (SHDs) and will take 3 hours to complete. The
SOTS Financial Module will also be completed by the 20 BIC funded SHD
and will take 1 hour to complete. The supplemental SOTS Survey
Questions will be completed by 20 BIC funded SHDs and take 1.5 hours to
complete. The BIC telephone interviews will take 1.5 hours and will be
completed by the 20 Core funded SHDs.
[[Page 2675]]
The Regional Network Leader (RNL) surveys will be completed by the
5 RNL funded SHDs and will take 1 hour to complete a telephone
interview. The four Surveillance Quality Improvement (SQI) funded SHDs
will complete a one-hour telephone interview. The four Motor Vehicle
Child Injury Prevention Policy (MVP) SHDs will complete a telephone
interview that will take one hour to complete.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 163.
