Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call (404) 371–5976 or
send comments to Sandi Gambescia,
CDC Assistant Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74,
Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov.
CDC is requesting approval of a pilot
test to better understand the barriers to
increased physical activity and the
potential impact of modest financial
incentives to promote walking among
sedentary adults aged 50 years and
older. The Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System (BRFSS) data
reveal that Americans in general and
older adults in particular do not meet
minimum recommendations for levels
of physical activity. Moderate increases
in physical activity would decrease the
incidence of diseases promoted by
inactivity, including several types of
cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
However, strategies that effectively
motivate sedentary people to increase
and maintain levels of regular physical
activity have yet to be identified. CDC
proposes to use this effort to investigate
the impact of one type of intervention
(financial incentives) on levels of
physical activity.
CDC will conduct a stated preference
(SP) survey to identify the barriers to
leisure time physical activity and the
size of the incentives necessary to
overcome these barriers among
sedentary adults age 50 and older. A
pilot test of the impact of specific
amounts of financial incentives on
levels of walking among this population
will also be conducted via a reveled
preference (RP) survey in the Raleigh,
North Carolina, metropolitan area.
The SP survey will be a one-time
effort in which respondents belonging to
an online survey panel will complete a
computer survey over the Internet. In
the RP portion of the project, a local
sample of respondents will complete an
identical survey on paper. The RP
respondents will also wear a pedometer
for 4 weeks and record the number of
steps walked in a diary. Data will be
collected from the diaries and from the
7-day history in each pedometer unit.
Respondents will receive a modest
incentive payment for the number of
steps they walk above a predetermined
floor and below a predetermined
ceiling.
The results of the survey will be used
to gauge the size of the incentives
necessary to motivate behavior change
in a real world setting. The results of the
pilot test will provide initial evidence of
the magnitude of the incentives
necessary to increase levels of physical
activity among a specific sample of
older adults. The total costs and
effectiveness (changes in physical
activity) can then be compared to
similar data emanating from other
interventions designed to increase levels
of physical activity. Statistical analysis
of the SP survey and RP data will be
used. Since neither form of data
collection is based on a random sample,
conclusions will be preliminary and not
generalizable. The analysis will be used
to evaluate whether further
comprehensive research on this subject
should be undertaken. There are no
costs to respondents except their time to
participate in the survey.

Proposed Project
Comprehensive Cancer Control:
Implementation Case Study—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background
While much has been learned about
the development of Comprehensive
Cancer Control (CCC) plans, little is
known about CCC grantee activities,
organizational capacity, or essential
elements of implementing CCC plans.
CDC, through a contractor will evaluate
the necessary components of the CCC
Program. The evaluation consists of: (1)
The design of a plan to evaluate the CCC
Program; (2) an evaluation of grantee
activities; (3) a nationwide assessment
of capacity to plan, implement and
evaluate CCC programs; and (4) a study
of selected grantees’ experiences
implementing CCC plans. This project
will focus on the fourth component of
the evaluation.
Implementation case studies provide
the opportunity to follow the
relationships among needs identified in
the planning process, goals and
objectives established in the plan
(priorities for action), and implemented
activities. The goals of the proposed
data collection are to document the
process and activities CCC programs
undertake to implement a CCC plan,
and to document measures CCC
programs use to assess how well a CCC
plan is implemented.
The data will be collected via inperson interviews with key personnel in
the implementation of CCC plans. Key
personnel will include: Program
directors, program staff in health
departments and partner organizations,
partner organization decision-makers,
program evaluators, and representatives
from non-partner organizations.
Interviews will take place during one 3to 4-day site visit to 10 sites. The
program directors will also complete a
packet of background information in
preparation for the site visits. The only
cost to respondents is their time. The
total annual burden for this data
collection is 145 hours.
