Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, New Every day more than 6,000 calls about poison emergencies are placed to poison control centers (PCCs) throughout the United States. Although PCCs clearly save lives and reduce healthcare costs, the system that delivers care and prevents poisoning is comprised of more than 131 telephone numbers and thousands of disjointed local prevention efforts. As a result a national media campaign was launched to establish a national toll-free helpline entitled Poison Help (1–800–222–1222) that the general public, health professionals, and others can use to access poison emergency services and prevention information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Poison Help campaign is the only national and regional media effort to promote awareness and use of the national toll-free number. The prospective audience for the Poison Help campaign is very broad—any person at any time is a potential user. To evaluate the campaign’s current performance a General Population Survey will be conducted with 2,500 households in the United States. The General Population Survey supplies unique and essential information that provides CDC and HRSA with data on variations in awareness and use of the national toll-free number. These data will also suggest which campaign messages about poison prevention or available PCC services have resonated most strongly with various audiences. Results will be used to make comparisons with future evaluation activities and to make improvements to future campaign efforts. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.

Diagnostics Development of Real-Time PCR Assay for Detection of Pneumococcal DNA and Diagnosis of Pneumococcal Disease The ability to diagnose pneumococcal pneumonia is limited by the lack of a sensitive, specific, and accurate laboratory assay. Using the PsaA (pneumococcal protein A) protein gene, CDC researchers have designed unique primers and probes and developed a real-time PCR assay for detection of pneumococcal DNA in serum and other sterile site body fluids for the diagnosis of pneumococcal disease. The PCR assay provides a tool for accurate diagnosis by clinicians, and for determination of the effectiveness (efficacy) of newly licensed pneumococcal polysaccharide-conjugate E:\FR\FM\21SEN1.SGM 21SEN1

Proposed Project

    Evaluation of the Poison HELP Campaign--to Enhance Public Awareness 
of the National Poison Toll-Free Number, Poison Center Access and 
Poison Prevention--New--The National Center for Injury Prevention and 
Control (NCIPC).

Background and Brief Description

    Every day more than 6,000 calls about poison emergencies are placed 
to poison control centers (PCCs) throughout the United States. Although 
PCCs clearly save lives and reduce healthcare costs, the system that 
delivers care and prevents poisoning is comprised of more than 131 
telephone numbers and thousands of disjointed local prevention efforts.
    As a result a national media campaign was launched to establish a 
national toll-free helpline entitled Poison Help (1-800-222-1222) that 
the general public, health professionals, and others can use to access 
poison emergency services and prevention information 24 hours a day, 
seven days a week. The Poison Help campaign is the only national and 
regional media effort to promote awareness and use of the national 
toll-free number. The prospective audience for the Poison Help campaign 
is very broad--any person at any time is a potential user.
    To evaluate the campaign's current performance a General Population 
Survey will be conducted with 2,500 households in the United States. 
The General Population Survey supplies unique and essential information 
that provides CDC and HRSA with data on variations in awareness and use 
of the national toll-free number. These data will also suggest which 
campaign messages about poison prevention or available PCC services 
have resonated most strongly with various audiences. Results will be 
used to make comparisons with future evaluation activities and to make 
improvements to future campaign efforts. There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time. The total annualized estimated 
burden hours are 382.
