[60Day-16-1005; Docket No. CDC-2016-0055]
Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part
of its continuing efforts to reduce public burden and maximize the
utility of government information, invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on the ``Older Adult
Safe Mobility Assessment Tool Impact Evaluation and Developing a
Dissemination Plan'' extension for the previously approved information
collection designed to evaluate whether the Mobility Planning Tool is
effective for promoting readiness to adopt mobility-protective
behaviors in older adults.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 23, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire,
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Proposed Project
Older Adult Safe Mobility Assessment Tool Impact Evaluation and
Developing a Dissemination Plan (OMB Control No. 0920-1005, Exp. Date:
10-31-2016)--Extension--National Center for Injury Prevention and
Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC)
requests approval for 2 years, from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), for the extension of the previously information collection
approved under OMB Control No. 0920-1005 (Exp. Date: 10-31-2016). This
project is designed to evaluate whether the Mobility Planning Tool
(MPT) is effective for promoting readiness to adopt mobility-protective
behaviors in older adults and assess potential strategies for
dissemination of the Mobility Planning Tool.
The population of older adults in the U.S. is growing rapidly. By
2030, this segment of the population will increase to an estimated 72
million (20% of the U.S. population). A critical public health issue
for the older adult population is mobility--how well people are able to
get to places they need to go. The goals of this study are to evaluate
(1) whether the Mobility Planning Tool is effective for promoting
readiness to adopt mobility-protective behaviors in older adults and
(2) assess potential strategies for dissemination of the MPT.
Study data will be collected using telephone interviews.
Prospective respondents will answer a series of screening questions.
Individuals who meet the screening criteria and are willing to
participate will complete a baseline and follow-up interview each
lasting approximately 10 minutes. The study population is community-
living older adults ages 60-74 with no known mobility limitations. A
total of 1,000 individuals will participate in the study. Data will be
analyzed using descriptive statistics and a series of t-tests, chi-
square analyses, and Mann-Whitney U-tests. Multivariate analyses will
include a series of repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and
logistic regressions.
The data collected from this study will help CDC identify what
further revisions to the MPT might be necessary before it is
disseminated publicly. Selected study findings may eventually be
presented in oral and poster presentations and published in a peer-
reviewed journal. Without this information collection, CDC will not
know whether the MPT is an effective tool for promoting readiness to
adopt mobility-protective behaviors in older adults and will not know
whether additional revisions to the tool are necessary before the MPT
is disseminated publicly. Also, without this study CDC will have
limited information about what strategies are most likely to be
effective for disseminating the MPT publicly to the target audience.
The total estimated annual burden hours are 733.
