Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting System for the Prescription Drug Overdose
Prevention for States Cooperative agreement--New--National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Drug overdose is the leading cause of injury death in the United
States. Opioid-prescribing behaviors are associated with an increased
risk for morbidity and mortality. While opioid pain relievers can play
an important role in the management of some types of pain, the
overprescribing of these powerful drugs has fueled a national epidemic
of prescription drug abuse and overdose. To reverse this complex
epidemic and prevent future overdose, abuse, and misuse, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides support to states to
improve surveillance. Support and guidance for these programs have been
provided through cooperative agreement funding and technical assistance
administered by CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC).
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks new OMB
approval to collect information from awardees funded under the
Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States (CDC-RFA-CE15-1501)
cooperative agreement, for program monitoring and improvement among
funded state health departments. Awardees will report progress and
activity information to CDC on an annual schedule using an Excel-based
fillable electronic templates, pre-populated to the extent possible by
CDC staff. In Year 1, each awardee will have additional burden related
to initial collection of the reporting tools. After completing the
initial population of the tools, pertinent information only needs to be
updated for each annual report. The same instruments will be used for
all information collection and reporting.
CDC will use the information collected to monitor each awardee's
progress and to identify facilitators and challenges to program
implementation and achievement of outcomes. Monitoring allows CDC to
determine whether an awardee is meeting performance and budget goals
and to make adjustments in the type and level of technical assistance
provided to them, as needed, to support attainment of their performance
measures.
The total estimated annualized burden for this collection is 812
hours. OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in the
information collection is required as a condition of funding. There are
no costs to respondents other than their time.
