training, is based on the TeamSTEPPS
2.0 instructional materials and will be
delivered online to 3,000 participants.
The training will cover the core
TeamSTEPPS tools and strategies,
coaching, organizational change, and
implementation science.
2. TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online PostTraining Survey. This online instrument
will be administered to all participants
who complete the TeamSTEPPS 2.0
Online Master Training. The survey will
be administered 6 months after
participants complete the training
program.
This data collection is for the purpose
of conducting an evaluation of the
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer
program which was last approved by
OMB on November 14, 2014 (OMB
Control Number is 0935–0224), and will
expire November 30, 2017. The
evaluation is primarily formative in
nature as AHRQ seeks information to
improve the delivery of the training.
This is a new data collection for the
purpose of conducting an evaluation of
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer
program. The evaluation will be
primarily formative in nature as AHRQ
seeks information to improve the
delivery of the training.
The OMB Control Number for the
MEPS–HC and MPC is 0935–0118,
which was last approved by OMB on
December 20, 2012, and will expire on
December 31, 2015.
To conduct the evaluation, the
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Post-Training
Survey will be administered to all
individuals who completed the
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer
program, 6 months after completing
training. The purpose of the survey is to
assess the degree to which participants
felt prepared by the training and what
they did to implement TeamSTEPPS.
Specifically, participants will be asked
about their reasons for participating in
the program; the degree to which they
feel the training prepared them to train
others in and use TeamSTEPPS; what
tools they have implemented in their
organizations; and resulting changes
they have observed in the delivery of
care.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondent’s time to participate in the
study. The TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online
Post-Training Survey will be completed
by approximately 3,000 individuals. We
estimate that each respondent will
require 20 minutes to complete the
survey. The total annualized burden is
estimated to be 1,000 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden based on the
respondents’ time to participate in the
study. The total cost burden is estimated
to be $45,320.

Proposed Project
Backyard Integrated Tick Management
Project—Existing Collection in Use
without an OMB Number—National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The combined number of confirmed
and probable Lyme disease cases has
exceeded 30,000 in all years since 2008,
and recent estimates suggest that the
true number of Lyme disease cases may
be 10-fold higher. There is no Lyme
disease vaccine for use in humans and
prevention of infection is therefore
completely reliant on personal
protective measures (avoiding tick
habitat, use of repellent, tick checks or
prompt tick removal, etc.), and methods
to suppress vector ticks in the
environment.
The primary goal of this project is to
evaluate the effectiveness of specific
tick/pathogen control methods used on
single versus multiple adjacent
properties on the risk of human
exposure to ticks. The secondary goal is
to better understand human landscape
use patterns and tick exposure
locations. The project was initiated in
direct response to knowledge gaps,
identified by CDC Subject Matter
Experts, for the use of integrated tick
vector/rodent reservoir management to
reduce human risk of exposure to Ixodes
scapularis ticks, the sole vector of Lyme
disease in the Northeast.
Resulting data is intended to be used
to provide suggestions for improving
tick/pathogen control methods used in
the environment.
Information will be collected, under
protocols approved by the Institutional
Review Boards (IRBs) at Western
Connecticut State University (WCSU)
and the University of Rhode Island
(URI), from inhabitants of residential
properties to (i) compare the
effectiveness of an integrated tick
management approach at single-treated
residential properties vs. contiguouslytreated residential properties to reduce
human tick bites, and (ii) increase the
understanding of where people
encounter ticks, both near their homes
and in other outdoor settings.
Another potential positive outcome of
the information collection is more
effective targeting of tick control efforts
to high-risk areas, minimizing pesticide
use. Not collecting the information
would lead to inadequate evaluation of
the implemented integrated tick
management program (solely focusing
on host-seeking ticks collected from the
vegetation), as well as the unacceptable
status quo for detailed knowledge of
where people encounter ticks within
their residential properties and on the
residential properties versus elsewhere.
Information will be collected by
WCSU and URI researchers from
inhabitants (adults and children) of
participating residential properties
(freestanding homes with tick habitat on
the property) located in Connecticut and
Rhode Island. Consenting participants
will complete one introductory survey
by telephone, projected to last no more
than 15 minutes. In May–August of
Years 1–4, participants will also
complete an emailed monthly tick
encounter survey about the number of
ticks found on each member of the
household and each household
member’s tick-borne disease status,
projected to take no more than 10
minutes per month to complete. An
end-of-season survey will also be
administered in March/April each year,
projected to take no more than 10
minutes to complete.
In addition, participants will be asked
to record location of daily activity on
behalf of themselves and household
members each day over the first week of
June in a single year via emailed daily
surveys, projected to take 70 minutes
over the week of participation. Lastly,
an end-of-study survey will be
administered in September 2020,
projected to take no more than 15
minutes. In total, we expect
approximately two hours or less of total
time spent on surveys by consented
participants in each year of the study.
All survey instruments have also been
approved by the IRBs at WCSU and URI.
The collection of information is
conducted by WCSU, and its
subcontractor, URI, as part of a
Cooperative Agreement with the CDC
(1U01CK0004912–01). The Cooperative
Agreement was established based on
WCSU competing successfully for CDC
RFA–CK–16–002 (Spatially Scalable
Integrated Tick Vector/Rodent Reservoir
Management to Reduce Human Risk of
Exposure to Ixodes scapularis Ticks
Infected with Lyme Disease
Spirochetes).
This study is authorized by Section
301 of the Public Health Service Act (42
U.S.C. 241).
There is no cost to respondents other
than the time to participate. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 557.

Zika Postpartum Emergency Response
Survey (ZPER), Puerto Rico, 2017—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In December 2015, the Puerto Rico
Department of Health (PRDH) reported
the first locally acquired (index) case of
Zika virus disease in the United States.
Since then, 38,733 cases have been
confirmed in Puerto Rico, including
3,076 among pregnant women. Because
the most common mosquito vector of
Zika virus, Aedes aegypti, is present
throughout Puerto Rico, Zika virus
transmission is ongoing. The island has
been designated at the highest level of
risk according to a 3-tiered Zika virus
infection risk scale developed by CDC’s
Emergency Operations Center.
While pregnant women do not differ
from the general population in terms of
susceptibility to Zika virus infection or
severity of disease, they are at risk for
adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes
associated with Zika virus infection
during pregnancy. After review of the
available evidence, CDC concluded that
Zika virus infection during pregnancy is
a cause of microcephaly and other brain
defects.
Given the adverse pregnancy and
birth outcomes associated with Zika
virus infection during pregnancy, it is

more important than ever to understand
the Zika-related concerns of pregnant
women, interactions regarding Zika
between pregnant women and their
health care providers, sources of
information that pregnant women
consult regarding Zika virus, and use of
recommended precautions by pregnant
women to reduce the risk of exposure to
Zika virus. This information was
successfully collected for the first time
in a hospital-based survey of women
24–48 hours after delivery by the Puerto
Rico Department of Health in the fall of
2016 (Emergency OMB approval,
Control #0920–1127), and has been
critical for informing clinical guidance,
developing communication messages,
and providing resources for pregnant
women.
The currently proposed data
collection includes three components to
follow-up on the initial effort. The first
component is a telephone follow-back
survey among a subset of the original
participants. This component would be
the first population-based sample of
postpartum women who were pregnant
during the early period of the Zika
outbreak, and would provide
information on the accessibility and
utilization of postpartum and newborn
services, and continued adherence to
Zika prevention behaviors. The second
component would be to repeat the
hospital-based survey of pregnant
women to assess the effectiveness of
emergency response efforts and to
determine where there is a need for
further refinement of efforts and
outstanding resource gaps; as with the
first hospital-based survey, there would
be subsequent telephone follow-up
survey with a subset of the participants.
The third and final component is the
addition of a separate hospital-based
survey for fathers of the infants born to
surveyed mothers. This component
would assess father’s concerns about
Zika related birth defects and
contribution to prevention efforts.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time to participate.
