National Institutes of Health
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; The National Diabetes
Education Program Survey of the
Public
SUMMARY: Under provisions of Section
3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and
Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection
listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on September 9,
2003, pages 53176–53177, and allowed
60 days for public comment. No public
comments were received. The purpose
of this notice is to allow an additional
30 days for public comment. The
National Institutes of Health may not
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent
is not required to respond to, an
information collection that has been
extended, revised, or implemented on or
after October 1, 1995, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: The
National Diabetes Educations Program
Survey of the Public. Type of
Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
The National Diabetes Education
Program (NDEP) is a partnership of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and more than 200
public and private organizations. The
long-term goals of the NDEP are to
improve the treatment and health
outcomes of people with diabetes, to
promote early diagnosis, and,
ultimately, to prevent the onset of
PO 00000
Frm 00050

diabetes. The NDEP objectives are: (1)
To increase awareness of the
seriousness of diabetes, its risk factors,
and strategies for preventing diabetes
and its complications among people at
risk for diabetes; (2) to improve
understanding about diabetes and its
control and to promote better selfmanagement behaviors among people
with diabetes; (3) to improve health care
providers’ understanding of diabetes
and its control and to promote an
integrated approach to care; (4) to
promote health care policies that
improve the quality of and access to
diabetes care.
Multiple strategies have been devised
to address the NDEP objectives. These
have been described in the NDEP
Strategic Plan and include: (1) Creating
partnerships with other organizations
concerned about diabetes; (2)
developing and implementing
awareness and education activities with
special emphasis on reaching the racial
and ethnic populations
disproportionately affected by diabetes;
(3) identifying, developing, and
disseminating educational tools and
resources for the program’s diverse
audiences; (4) promoting policies and
activities to improve the quality of and
access to diabetes care.
The NDEP evaluation will document
the extent to which the NDEP program
has been implemented, and how
successful it has been in meeting
program objectives. The evaluation
relies heavily on data gathered from
existing national surveys such as
National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES), the
National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS), the Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System (BRFSS), among
others for this information. This
clearance request is for the collection of
additional primary data from NDEP
target audiences on some key process
and impact measures that are necessary
to effectively evaluate the program.
Approval is requested for survey of the
public including people at risk for
diabetes, people with diabetes and their
families.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households. Type of Respondents:
Adults. The annual reporting burden is
as follows: Estimated Number of
Respondents: 1600; Estimated Number
of Responses per Respondent: 1;
Average Burden Hours per Response:
.25; and Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours Requested: 400. The annualized
cost to respondents is estimated at:
$8,000.00. There are no Capital Costs to
report. There are no Operating or
Maintenance Costs to report.
