Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Empowerment and capacity building
have been promoted by the Bamako
Initiative as integral steps in making
Primary Health Care (PHC) services
universally available. Health Sector
Reform programs since the early 1990s
have built on the Bamako Initiative,
drawing attention to the potential for
community engagement in health
services and health governance through
mechanisms such as Community Health
Funds. In many contexts communityfocused approaches have been used to
promote maternal and infant health, and
community well-being.
In Tanzania, a community-based
approach to improve maternal and
newborn health (MNH) and reduce
preventable maternal and perinatal
deaths was implemented by CARE with
CDC support from 1997–2002. This
approach used a community-based
surveillance system to identify
preventable deaths during pregnancy
potential to inform community-focused
programs and research in every context.
Assessment of sustainability is critical
for promoting community mobilization
within the health care sector in resource
poor settings such as northwestern
Tanzania and potentially other such
places where CARE and other
organizations work.
The primary purpose of this proposal
is an assessment of a program called the
Community Based Reproductive Health
Program (CBRHP). Of particular interest
are the acceptance, relevance and
sustainability of: (a) Volunteer village
health workers efforts; (b) communitybased maternal and peri-natal
surveillance system; and (c) emergency
medical transport systems in resource
poor settings—some of the initiatives
that were implemented in the first phase
of the CBRHP managed by CARE during
1997–2002. Qualitative and quantitative
methods will be used to conduct this
assessment.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey.
and during the perinatal and newborn
period, and developed a community
mobilization program utilizing
community volunteers to assist women
and families with obstetrical
emergencies to get to functioning health
facilities. Specifically the initiative
focused on increasing capacity for
community members to identify and
participate in decisions and strategies
for providing health care services, and
supporting prevention and health
education through village health
workers (VHWs).
Evaluation of this effort showed that
the community members used the
services successfully and supported
their volunteers, but only a handful of
these communities had programs in
place that were functional at the end of
the project in 2002. Since the end of
project activities, the long-term
sustainability of community-level efforts
has not been assessed. Therefore, this
proposed initiative presents a unique
opportunity to examine long-term
legacies of community-based programs,
which is seldom done, but has the

Online Surveys to Measure
Awareness of Chronic Fatigue

Campaign—New—National Center for

Background and Brief Description
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a
serious illness that affects many
Americans. With as many as 900,000
cases, many of which are misdiagnosed
or left undiagnosed, the need for a CFS

public education and awareness
campaign is crucial.
Research shows that 80 to 90 percent
of patients have not been diagnosed and
are not receiving proper medical care.
Lack of awareness and information
among health care providers about CFS
as a serious and treatable illness has
created significant barriers to diagnosing
and treating those who suffer from CFS.
Congress recognized the need to
change this scenario, as reported in the
Committee Reports for the Senate
Appropriations Committee (Senate
Report 108–345—To accompany S. 2810
Sept. 15, 2004) when the committee
stated:
Further, the Committee encourages CDC to
better inform the public about this condition,
its severity and magnitude and to use
heightened awareness to create a registry of
CFS patients to aid research in this field.
During the next three years, CDC, in
partnership with the Chronic Fatigue
and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome

(CFIDS) Association of America, will
build the case that chronic fatigue
syndrome should be diagnosed quickly
to ensure the best possible health
outcomes.
To do so, a public education and
awareness campaign will be launched to
bring about changes in beliefs and social
norms among target audiences (women
aged 40–60, healthcare practitioners,
and the general public) that CFS is a
diagnosable and treatable physical
illness.
Although considerable research will
be done to ensure that campaign
themes, messages, and materials are
effective, there is no way to test the
impact of the campaign on the target
audience other than to conduct baseline
and follow-up surveys. These surveys
will measure not only the level of
awareness created by the campaign, but
will measure change in key knowledge,
attitudes and beliefs about CFS among
the target audiences.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
88.
