Proposed Collection: Title: Actigraph
Accelerometer Validation Study. Type
of Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
The NCI is collaborating with other NIH
Institutes on a proposed longitudinal
study of Hispanic subpopulations in the
United States referred to as the Hispanic
Community Health Study. The Hispanic
population is now the largest minority
population in the U.S. with a projected
three-fold growth by 2050. Hispanic
subgroups are influenced by a number
of chronic disease risk factors associated
with immigration from different cultural
settings and environments. These
factors include diet, physical activity,
community support, working
conditions, and access to health care.
Hispanic groups have higher rates of
obesity and diabetes than non-Hispanic
groups, but have lower coronary disease
and cancer (all sites) mortality. There
are also observed differences in health
outcomes between Hispanic subgroups.
For example, Puerto Ricans have a fourfold higher asthma prevalence than
Mexican-Americans. Hispanic
populations are understudied with
respect to many diseases and risk
factors. Their projected population
growth underscores the need for
accurate evaluation of their disease
burden and risk. A vast amount of
research suggests that the level of
physical activity influences many of the
chronic diseases and conditions of
interest, including obesity, diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, and cancer. To
better understand the relationship
between physical activity and chronic
disease, and to make specific activity
prescriptions, it is necessary to be able
to accurately assess levels and types of
activity. In particular, better methods
are needed to improve the validity and
reliability of physical activity

assessment instruments to better assess
the frequency, duration, and intensity of
physical activity. For that reason, NCI
plans to evaluate the use of a new type
of accelerometer, a small device worn
on a belt at the waist that measures and
records movement, capturing movement
intensity and duration and associating it
with clock-time. This new
accelerometer will be used in the
Hispanic Community Health Study and
will allow examination of levels as well
as patterns of activity. Physical activity
was measured with accelerometers in
the nationally representative 2003–2006
National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) (OMB#:
0920–0237, October 15, 2004, Vol 69,
pp. 61253–61254). NHANES provides
estimates for Mexican-American, but
not other Hispanic subgroups. Between
the time of the NHANES and the
Hispanic Community Health Study,
there has been a change in the
technology of the accelerometer used in
NHANES. To allow comparison of the
physical activity data that will be
collected from the four Hispanic
subgroups in the Hispanic Community
Study to the data collected with the
previous technology used in NHANES,
a cross-validation study is needed. The
proposed study, the ActiGraph
Accelerometer Validation Study, will
serve this purpose. It is a crossvalidation study comparing the two
ActiGraph accelerometer models under
different circumstances of walking or
jogging in differing age groups and for
both genders. Frequency of response:
One-time study. Affected Public:
Individuals. Type of Respondents:
Healthy adults between the ages of 18–
74 years. The annual reporting burden
is as follows: Estimated Number of
Respondents: 144; Estimated Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1; Average
Burden Hours per Response: 1.5; and
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours
Requested: 186. The annualized cost to
respondents is estimated at: $3,288.

Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Collection of Demographic
and Smoking/Tobacco Use Information
From NCI Cancer Information Service
Clients
SUMMARY: 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
National Cancer Institute (NCI), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) will
publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection: Title: Collection
of Demographic and Smoking/Tobacco
Use Information from NCI Cancer
Information Service Clients. Type of
Information Collection Request:
Revision of OMB no. 0925–0208
expiration date 11/30/2006. Need and
Use of Information Collection: The
NCI’s Cancer Information Service (CIS)
provides accurate and up-to-date cancer
information to the public through a tollfree telephone number (1–800–4–
CANCER) and LiveHelp, an online
instant messaging service. In addition,
CIS provides smoking cessation
assistance through a telephone quitline
(accessed through 1–800–44U–QUIT or
1–800–QUITNOW). Characterizing CIS
clients is essential to customer service,
program planning, and promotion.
Currently CIS conducts a brief survey of
a sample of telephone and LiveHelp
clients at the end of usual service (OMB
no. 0925–0208 expiration date 11/30/
2006); the survey includes three
customer service and five demographic
questions (age, sex, race, ethnicity,
education). This request is to
supplement the current data collection
activity by adding (1) four demographic
questions related to income, health
insurance coverage, and regular source
of health care; and (2) a set of 20
smoking/tobacco use questions for
individuals seeking smoking cessation

assistance. The demographic questions
will allow CIS to better measure the
program’s reach to underserved
populations and program impacts on
these populations. The smoking/tobacco
use questions are necessary as part of
the intake and needs assessment process
for smoking cessation clients. The
information collected about clients’
smoking history, previous quit attempts,
and motivations to quit smoking will
enable Information Specialists to
provide effective individualized
counseling. Consistent with the current
data collection, the proposed
demographic and smoking intake
questions will be asked of clients who
are cancer patients, family members and
friends of patients, and the general
public. Also consistent with the current
data collection, 25% of telephone and
quitline clients will be sampled for the
proposed demographic questions. If the
call is the result of a special promotion,
50% of callers will be surveyed. Overall,
it is estimated that 36% of telephone
and quitline clients will be sampled for
the demographic questions for an
estimated annual total of 40,700
telephone clients and 2,400 quitline
clients. Also consistent with the current
data collection, the demographic
questions will be asked of 50% of
LiveHelp clients for an estimated annual
total of 2,000 online clients. The higher
sampling rate for LiveHelp clients is
necessary due to the lower response rate
among online clients. The proposed
smoking intake questions will be asked
of 100% of quitline clients for an annual
total of approximately 6,700 clients. The
combined total to be surveyed each year
is approximately 49,400 CIS clients for
a total of 2,478 annual burden hours.
Frequency of Response: Single time.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households. Type of Respondents:
Cancer patients, family members and
friends of cancer patients, and general
public who contact CIS via telephone or
online. The annual reporting burden is
as follows:
