VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:44 Oct 08, 2015 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 61211 Background and Brief Description Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the United States. Quitlines are telephone-based services that provide callers with information, counseling, and referrals to support tobacco cessation. Quitlines overcome many of the barriers to tobacco cessation classes and traditional clinics because they are free and available at the caller’s convenience. CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) has provided funding and technical assistance to 53 Quitlines in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Callers may call state-specific numbers or contact Quitlines through a nationally branded portal (1–800–QUIT–NOW) and are then routed to the Quitline managed by their state or territory. Although Quitline services and operations vary across states and territories, some activities are based on common protocols that provide a framework for program monitoring and evaluation. During the most recent approved information collection period, all 53 Quitlines reported information to CDC’s National Quitline Data Warehouse (NQDW). Data collection consisted of de-identified caller intake information based on a minimum data set (MDS) developed collaboratively by the Quitlines and stakeholders including professional organizations and the CDC. In addition, all 53 Quitlines reported deidentified information on a subset of callers who participated in a voluntary, seven-month follow-up interview. Finally, the Tobacco Control Manager for each state- or territory-based Quitline submitted a quarterly services report to CDC which summarized its services, call volume, and caller characteristics. These reports have been used to quantify changes in service provision and improvements in the capacity of the Quitlines to assist tobacco users over time. Based on NQDW data, the average time to complete the NQDW Quitline Services Online Survey is 20 minutes. The majority of these data are submitted through the web-based survey although CDC will accept other electronic means as needed (i.e., email, PDF, fax). In 2015, CDC provided funding to expand services through the Asian Smokers’ Quitline (ASQ). The ASQ offers tobacco cessation support services to callers who speak Chinese, Korean, or Vietnamese. Callers may be routed to the ASQ from any state or territory currently participating in the NQDW. E:\FR\FM\09OCN1.SGM 09OCN1 61212 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 196 / Friday, October 9, 2015 / Notices CDC requests OMB approval to revise information collection for the NQDW as follows. The ASQ will become an additional respondent providing data to the NQDW using the NQDW Intake Questionnaire, NQDW (ASQ) Seven-Month Follow-up Questionnaire, and NQDW Quitline Services Survey. This increases the number of participating Quitlines from 53 to 54. Five questions will be added to the NQDW Intake Questionnaire to collect information about pregnancy, insurance status, type of health insurance, mental health, and language of service. The estimated burden per response for a complete intake interview is 10 minutes. The complete intake interview is only administered to callers who request information or assistance for themselves. A short version of the intake interview will be administered to any caller who contacts a quitline on behalf of another person. The short version of the intake interview consists of a subset of four questions. The estimated burden per response for these callers is one minute. The Seven-Month Follow-up Questionnaire will be discontinued for all callers except those who receive services through the ASQ. Individual-level data (intake and 7month follow-up) are submitted to CDC electronically through a secure FTP server or via U.S. mail. The burden table for the NQDW includes allocations for the caller intake and follow-up interviews, and an allocation for quitlines to prepare and submit the deidentified aggregate files. The information collected in the NQDW will be used to determine the role Quitlines play in promoting tobacco use cessation, measure the number of tobacco users being served by state quitlines, determine reach of Quitlines to high-risk populations (e.g., racial and ethnic minorities and the medically underserved), measure the number using each state quitline who quit, determine whether some combinations of services contribute to higher quit rates than others, and improve the timeliness, access to, and quality of data collected by quitlines. OMB approval is requested for three years. During this period there is a net reduction in total estimated annualized burden hours due to adjustments in the estimated number of Quitline callers. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 80,708.

Proposed Project

    National Quitline Data Warehouse (OMB No. 0920-0856, exp. 10/31/
2015)--Revision--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of disease and 
death in the United States. Quitlines are telephone-based services that 
provide callers with information, counseling, and referrals to support 
tobacco cessation. Quitlines overcome many of the barriers to tobacco 
cessation classes and traditional clinics because they are free and 
available at the caller's convenience.
    CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) has provided funding and 
technical assistance to 53 Quitlines in all 50 states, the District of 
Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Callers may call state-specific 
numbers or contact Quitlines through a nationally branded portal (1-
800-QUIT-NOW) and are then routed to the Quitline managed by their 
state or territory. Although Quitline services and operations vary 
across states and territories, some activities are based on common 
protocols that provide a framework for program monitoring and 
evaluation.
    During the most recent approved information collection period, all 
53 Quitlines reported information to CDC's National Quitline Data 
Warehouse (NQDW). Data collection consisted of de-identified caller 
intake information based on a minimum data set (MDS) developed 
collaboratively by the Quitlines and stakeholders including 
professional organizations and the CDC. In addition, all 53 Quitlines 
reported de-identified information on a subset of callers who 
participated in a voluntary, seven-month follow-up interview. Finally, 
the Tobacco Control Manager for each state- or territory-based Quitline 
submitted a quarterly services report to CDC which summarized its 
services, call volume, and caller characteristics. These reports have 
been used to quantify changes in service provision and improvements in 
the capacity of the Quitlines to assist tobacco users over time. Based 
on NQDW data, the average time to complete the NQDW Quitline Services 
Online Survey is 20 minutes. The majority of these data are submitted 
through the web-based survey although CDC will accept other electronic 
means as needed (i.e., email, PDF, fax).
    In 2015, CDC provided funding to expand services through the Asian 
Smokers' Quitline (ASQ). The ASQ offers tobacco cessation support 
services to callers who speak Chinese, Korean, or Vietnamese. Callers 
may be routed to the ASQ from any state or territory currently 
participating in the NQDW.

    CDC requests OMB approval to revise information collection for the 
NQDW as follows.
    The ASQ will become an additional respondent providing data to the 
NQDW using the NQDW Intake Questionnaire, NQDW (ASQ) Seven-Month 
Follow-up Questionnaire, and NQDW Quitline Services Survey. This 
increases the number of participating Quitlines from 53 to 54.
    Five questions will be added to the NQDW Intake Questionnaire to 
collect information about pregnancy, insurance status, type of health 
insurance, mental health, and language of service. The estimated burden 
per response for a complete intake interview is 10 minutes. The 
complete intake interview is only administered to callers who request 
information or assistance for themselves. A short version of the intake 
interview will be administered to any caller who contacts a quitline on 
behalf of another person. The short version of the intake interview 
consists of a subset of four questions. The estimated burden per 
response for these callers is one minute.
    The Seven-Month Follow-up Questionnaire will be discontinued for 
all callers except those who receive services through the ASQ.
    Individual-level data (intake and 7-month follow-up) are submitted 
to CDC electronically through a secure FTP server or via U.S. mail. The 
burden table for the NQDW includes allocations for the caller intake 
and follow-up interviews, and an allocation for quitlines to prepare 
and submit the de-identified aggregate files.
    The information collected in the NQDW will be used to determine the 
role Quitlines play in promoting tobacco use cessation, measure the 
number of tobacco users being served by state quitlines, determine 
reach of Quitlines to high-risk populations (e.g., racial and ethnic 
minorities and the medically underserved), measure the number using 
each state quitline who quit, determine whether some combinations of 
services contribute to higher quit rates than others, and improve the 
timeliness, access to, and quality of data collected by quitlines.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. During this period there 
is a net reduction in total estimated annualized burden hours due to 
adjustments in the estimated number of Quitline callers. There are no 
costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 80,708.
