Proposed Project
Qualitative Information Collection on Emerging Diseases among the
Foreign-born in the U.S. (OMB Control No. 0920-0987, Expires 09/30/
2016)--Extension--Division of Global Migration and Quarantine, National
Center for Emerging Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division
of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ), requests approval for an
extension of the current generic information collection Qualitative
Information Collection on Emerging Diseases among the Foreign-born in
the U.S. (OMB Control Number 0920-0987, expiration date 9/30/2016).
[[Page 32333]]
This qualitative data collection is needed by DGMQ because foreign-
born individuals are considered hard-to-reach populations and are often
missed by routine information collection systems in the United States.
As a consequence, limited information is available about the health
status, knowledge, attitudes, health beliefs and practices related to
communicable diseases and other emerging health issues (e.g.,
tuberculosis, parasitic diseases, lead poisoning, and mental health
issues) among foreign-born populations in the United States. Foreign-
born populations are very diverse in terms of countries of origin,
socio-demographic, cultural and linguistic characteristics and
geographic destinations in the U.S. Data is especially limited at the
local level.
The purpose of the extension is to continue efforts to improve the
agency's understanding of the health status, risk factors for disease,
and other health outcomes among foreign-born individuals in the United
States. Numerous types of data will be collected under the auspices of
this generic information collection. These include, but are not limited
to, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral intentions, practices,
behaviors, skills, self-efficacy, and health information needs and
sources.
For example, CDC recently used this generic to collect feedback on
Mexican-born audience's preferences for messaging and communication
about mosquito-borne diseases to develop effective prevention campaigns
as these diseases--especially Zika--pose an increasing threat to global
health security.
Under the terms of this generic, CDC will employ focus groups and
key informant interviews to collect information. Depending on the
specific purpose, the information collection may be conducted either
in-person, by telephone, on paper, or online. For each generic
information collection, CDC will submit to OMB the project summary and
information collection tools.
Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
This requests entails a total of 1,025 respondents and 825 burden
hours annually. The respondents to these information collections are
foreign born individuals in the United States. There is no cost to
respondents other than the time required to provide the information
requested.
