Proposed Project
Home Medkit Evaluation Study
(HoME Study)—New—Coordinating
Office for Terrorism Preparedness and
Emergency Response (COTPER), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
The Coordinating Office for Terrorism
Preparedness and Emergency Response
(COTPER), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) proposes to
conduct a one-time-only study called
the Home Medkit Evaluation Study
(HoME Study). This pilot study will be
conducted with selected St. Louis,
Missouri area households who
volunteer. Volunteers would receive in
their homes FDA-approved medicines
that are to be reserved for emergency
use in the event of specific public health
emergency conditions resulting from a
bioterrorist threat.
individual MedKits—cardboard
notebook blister packs with doses for
each household member and patient
instructions, including FDA-approved
crushing instructions for administration
of emergency pediatric doses.
The information collected from this
study will be used to: (1) Assess the
ability of volunteers from select
populations to store and maintain
household MedKits as directed and to
refrain from inappropriate use; (2)
explore attitudes, perceptions, and other
social and psychological factors that
influence participant behavior in
relation to the MedKit; and (3) inform
policy makers and national planners
about the acceptability, safety,
durability, and usefulness of the
household MedKit strategy and
supporting documentation.
There are no previous or existing
studies to provide the specific
information to answer the research
questions proposed in the HoME Study.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
annualized burden hours are 7,253.
The proposed study will provide data
on the extent to which people with
diverse backgrounds are able to follow
instructions concerning appropriate
storage and to reserve the medicine for
emergency use only.
Approximately, 5,000 volunteer
households will be recruited in the St.
Louis, Missouri metropolitan area, and
divided among three cohorts: (a) Public
health emergency responders and their
household members, (b) employees of a
large corporate operation and their
household members, and (c) clients of
publicly-funded primary healthcare
centers, their households, and
surrounding community households.
All will be medically screened for
eligibility to receive a home MedKit
and, if eligible, they will be recruited
and enrolled for study participation
with informed consent. After an initial
in-person baseline interview, they will
receive a MedKit bag with an antibiotic
enclosed. The MedKit bag will consist
of a transparent mylar, tamper-evident
sealed bag with FDA-approved patient
instructions affixed to the outside and

Proposed Project
Preventive Cardiac Health Care
Knowledge, Beliefs, and Behaviors in
Female Carriers of Duchenne/Becker
Muscular Dystrophy—New—National
Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Duchenne/Becker Muscular
Dystrophy (DBMD) is the most common
form of fatal muscular dystrophy in
children. It affects about 1 in 3,500 boys.
Although almost all cases of DBMD are
diagnosed in young males, the genetic
condition that causes DBMD is carried
by females. Today, there are about
40,000 female DBMD carriers in the
United States. Females who carry this
genetic condition generally do not have
symptoms, but some may experience
muscle weakness and fatigue.
Sometimes, they may also develop heart
problems that are characterized by
shortness of breath or an inability to do
moderate exercise. The chance that a
female carrier will develop heart
problems is unknown, but these heart
problems are serious and can be life
threatening. To learn more about the
heart health behaviors of adult female
DBMD carriers, National Center on Birth
Defects and Developmental Disabilities
(NCBDDD), CDC proposes to conduct a
national survey.
This one-time survey will be mailed
to about 7,000 women who are on
mailing lists maintained by DBMD
advocacy groups (Group 1) or are known
by someone on one of the lists (Group
2). The data will be treated in a
confidential manner. Women will be
eligible to complete the survey if they
are at least 19 years old and have given
birth to a son with DBMD or been told
that they definitely or probably carry a
genetic change for DBMD. To comply
with requests from the advocacy
community, the questionnaire will be
provided to friends, relatives, and
acquaintances of women on the above
mailing lists who meet all study
eligibility criteria and personally initiate
contact with the study office about
possible participation (Group 2). All
study materials, including the
questionnaire, will be available in
English and Spanish. Respondents will
also be able to complete an electronic
version of the survey accessed via the
World Wide Web. It will take each
participant about 5 minutes to read the
survey cover letter and about 30
minutes to complete the survey. Group
2 women will also need to complete a
5-minute telephone interview to provide
their mailing address to the study office.
Prior to receiving the survey, Group 1
women will receive an initial approach
letter that will take about 5 minutes to
read. We expect that 80% of the women
who receive a questionnaire will
complete the survey, for a total of 5,600
respondents.
Survey participants will be asked
about social and psychological aspects
of their genetic carrier status, their
sources of social support, their
awareness and knowledge of the link
between carrier status and heart health,
issues about access to specialized
cardiac health care, and sources of
health information that they find
trustworthy, accessible, and
understandable. Postage and a return
envelope will be provided for
participants who choose to complete
and return their survey by mail. There
are no costs to the respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 3,968.
