Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a
list of information collection requests under review, in compliance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a
copy of these requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance Office on (404)
639-7090.
The following request have been submitted for review since the last
publication date on March 21, 1996.
Proposed Project
1. Phase 2, 1996 National Health Interview Survey, Basic Module
(0920-0214). The annual National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a
basic source of general statistics on the health of the U.S.
population. Due to the integration of health surveys in the Department
of Health and Human Services, the NHIS also has become the sampling
frame and first stage of data collection for other major surveys,
including the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, the National Survey of
Family Growth, and the National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey. By linking to the NHIS, the analysis potential of these surveys
increases. The NHIS has long been used by government, university, and
private researchers to evaluate both general health and specific
issues, such as cancer, AIDS, and childhood immunizations. Journalists
use its data to inform the general public. It will continue to be a
leading source of data for the Congressionally-mandated ``Health US''
and related publications, as well as the single most important source
of statistics to track progress toward the National Health Promotion
and Disease Prevention Objectives, ``Healthy People 2,000.''
Because of survey integration and changes in the health and health
care of the U.S. population, demands on the NHIS have changed and
increased, leading to a major redesign. Improved information technology
is planned, especially computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI.)
This clearance is for a one-time data collection, to introduce, test,
and evaluate the redesigned NHIS data system. This data collection,
planned for July-December 1996, is also expected to produce data of
sufficient quality to allow publication of national estimates and
release of public use micro data files. The resulting new NHIS data
system is expected to be in the field for at least 10 years, beginning
in January, 1997. Separate clearance will be requested for the post-
1996 period.

2. Ethnographic Study of Tuberculosis Outreach Worker Activities -
New - This data collection will generate descriptive data from those
directly involved and responsible for providing outreach to identified
TB patients to gain an understanding of outreach activities, how they
occur, and their level of effectiveness. Three interview guides have
been developed for use with TB outreach workers, their supervisor and a
small number of outreach patients. This effort will result in a more
comprehensive picture of effective and efficient TB outreach
activities. The major product of this effort will be a descriptive
analytical report detailing the ``lessons learned''.
