Proposed Project
Community-based tick control for the prevention of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever in Hermosillo, Mexico--New--National Center for Emerging
and Zoonotic Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Rickettsial
Zoonoses Branch (RZB) requests approval of a public health intervention
assessment tool to demonstrate the efficacy and impact of public health
research related to the prevention of Rocky Mountain spotted fever
[RMSF] in Hermosillo, Mexico. These activities include monitoring
cases, conducting tick control interventions, and performing
participant surveys to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices
relating to tick control and prevention.
The information collection for which approval is sought is in
accordance with RZB's mission to reduce morbidity and mortality of
rickettsial diseases and decrease the burden of disease through control
and prevention methods. Authorizing Legislation comes from Section 301
of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241).
Approval of this data collection tool will allow RZB to collect
information related to risk of RMSF to improve and inform prevention
activities. Successful execution of RZB's public health mission
requires the use of data collection activities in collaboration with
multiple local and international partners. RZB proposes the use of pre/
posttests to evaluate the changes in knowledge, attitudes, and
practices relating to tick control as well as perceived impact of the
intervention project. The project will collect basic
[[Page 2868]]
household information to document consent to participate. Data
collection will be conducted in-person. Data will be recorded on paper
forms and then entered into an electronic database.
RZB estimates involvement of 1,300 respondents and a maximum of 701
hours of burden for research activities each year. The collected
information will not impose a cost burden on the respondents beyond
that associated with their time to provide the required data.
