Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted
the following information collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public
and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; (d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Written comments and/or
suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice should be
directed to the Attention: 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
Older Adult Safe Mobility Assessment Tool (OMB Control No. 0920-
1005, Discontinued 10/31/2014)--Reinstatement--National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC seeks to reinstate, with change, a previously approved
information collection entitled ``Older Adult Safe Mobility Assessment
Tool'' (OMB Control No. 0920-1005).
Within the NCIPC, preventing falls and ensuring safe transportation
for older adults are strategic priorities. The purpose of this
information collection is to evaluate whether the Mobility Planning
Tool is effective for promoting readiness to adopt mobility-protective
behaviors in older adults and 2) assess
[[Page 45978]]
potential strategies for dissemination of the MPT.
Information will be collected by surveying older adults, aged 60-74
years, who are living in the community (non-institutionalized), and
have good mobility. An initial survey will be administered to 1000
adults, half (500) will be sent the MPT, and then 900 adults will be
surveyed again.
Effectiveness of the tool will be assessed using two different
comparisons: (1) A comparison between individuals' attitudes and
behaviors related to protecting their mobility as they age before and
after receiving the MPT in the group that received the MPT, and (2) a
comparison of both mobility-related attitudes and behaviors and changes
between the group that received the MPT and the group that did not
receive the MPT.
Study findings will be used to identify areas of the MPT that may
need revision before it is disseminated publicly.
The previous data collection gathered older adults' impressions,
and based on their feedback, MPT tool has now been redesigned and
oriented toward mobility planning rather than mobility assessment. This
reinstatement request is to conduct a randomized controlled trial on
the revised tool to determine if the tool promotes readiness in older
adults to adopt mobility-protective behaviors, and appropriate ways to
disseminate the tool.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 734.
