Proposed Project
Understanding the Determinants of
Health Disparities within the National
Breast and Cervical Cancer Early
Detection Program (NBCCEDP)—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCDDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of the project is to better
understand the determinants of
disparities in screening, follow-up, and
diagnosis rates among white, black, and
Hispanic patients served by the National
Breast and Cervical Cancer Early
Detection Program. Specifically, the
project will examine what structural
and system factors contribute to these
disparities. Using key informant
interviews with staff of selected
NBCCEDPs and with local provider
representatives (within selected
NBCCEDP locations) who are involved
in identifying, scheduling, or securing
diagnostic and treatment resources for
program clients, the project will answer
two research questions: (1) How do
NBCCEDP programs with a low
percentage of disparities and programs
with a high percentage of disparities
differ in their completeness of follow-up
diagnosis with white, black, and
Hispanic women for both breast and
cervical cancer, and (2) How do
NBCCEDP programs with a low
percentage of disparities and programs
with a high percentage of disparities
differ in their timing between screening
and diagnosis with white, black, and
Hispanic women for both breast and
cervical cancer. In addition,
recommendations that may serve to
enhance technical assistance efforts to
NBCCEDPs and local providers will be
developed.

A total of 80 phone key informant
interviews will be conducted across 8
program sites with 10 interviews being
conducted per program. NBCCEDP
programs were selected utilizing a
systematic process based on (1)
Measures of interest (completeness of
follow-up diagnosis for both breast and
cervical cancer and time between
screening and diagnosis for both breast
and cervical cancer; (2) racial/ethnic
and age segmentation of women (i.e.
comparing white vs. black and white vs.
Hispanic; breast cancer age range: 18–
64, cervical cancer age range: 50–64); (3)
percent of minorities served by the
program; and (4) disparate screening,
follow-up, and diagnosis rates.
NBCCEDP Program Directors of the 8
chosen programs were contacted to
obtain the names and contact
information for the individuals who will
be the key informants within the
NBCCEDP programs. The data will be
collected via telephone interviews with
these informants who include: two highlevel management staff (including the
program director) with knowledge of
structural and system factors that may
contribute to the disparate rates, four
mid-level staff within the BCCEDP
program whose work involves
interactions within the clinics who may
have insight on clinical and staff factors
that may contribute to the disparate
rates, and four local-level staff within
the BCCEDP program whose work
involves working directly with patients
and may have insight on patient factors
that may contribute to the disparate
screening, follow-up, and diagnosis
rates among white, black, and Hispanic
patients. Interviews will last
approximately forty-five minutes each.
There are no costs to respondents
except other than their time to
participate in the survey.

Background and Brief Description
The Federal Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970, section 501, enables
NIOSH to carry out research relevant to
the health and safety of workers. NIOSH
is conducting a two year study of
airborne clouds of particles or droplets
called ‘‘aerosols’’. Some diseases like
influenza and Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (SARS) can be spread when
people produce infectious aerosols by
coughing or sneezing. Aerosol
transmission of infectious diseases is
especially important to health-care
workers and emergency responders,
who face a much greater risk of
exposure to these hazards than does the
general public. Cough-generated
aerosols are of particular concern
because coughing is one of the most
common symptoms of respiratory
infections. However, substantial gaps
exist in our understanding about the
generation of aerosols during coughing.
This lack of information hampers the
ability of health scientists to model and
predict the generation of infectious
aerosols by coughing and to understand
whether or not cough-generated aerosols
are likely to be an important means of
transmission of particular diseases.
The purpose of this study is to gain
a better understanding of the production
of aerosols by coughing. The results of
this research will give scientists and
health professionals’ greater insight into

the airborne transmission of disease and
allow them to better assess the potential
effectiveness of preventive measures.
The first part of this study will
measure the quantity and size
distribution of aerosol produced during
human coughs. To accomplish this,
volunteers will cough into a spirometer,
which is a commonly used piston-like
medical device that measures the
volume of air exhaled by a patient. After
the volunteer coughs into the
spirometer, the air in the spirometer
will be drawn into a commercial aerosol
measurement device. These experiments
will also provide information on how
much cough aerosols vary over time for
individuals and how much aerosol
generation varies between individuals.
The second part of this study will
determine how effectively surgical
masks and N95 respirators block coughgenerated aerosols. N95 respirators are
dust masks that are certified to filter out
at least 95% of airborne material during
normal breathing. N95 respirators are
known to be more effective than surgical
masks at filtering out airborne particles
during inhalation, but it is not known
whether masks or respirators are more
effective at blocking cough-generated
aerosols. For this work, masks and
respirators will be placed in a special
holder with a disposable mouthpiece,
and human subjects will cough into the
mouthpiece and through the mask. The
aerosol produced by each subject will be
analyzed before and after flowing
through the mask. These experiments
will determine how effective each mask
or respirator is at preventing the release
of cough-generated aerosols.
Volunteers from part 1 may also
participate in part 2 if they wish. There
will be no costs to study participants
other than their time.
