The proposed study will test the
effectiveness of a nationally distributed
decision aid developed by CDC, and
extend the existing literature on
informed decision making. No past
trials of prostate cancer screening
decision aids have evaluated the role of
primary care provider practice style.
The proposed study results may inform
the national discussion about informed
decision-making and prostate cancer
screening, and influence the clinical
guidelines and primary care provider
practices on prostate cancer screening.
Moreover, the data may inform revisions
to the current line of prostate cancer
screening educational materials and
influence the development of new
materials.
The randomized control trial (RCT)
will recruit 400 men between the ages
of 50–70 years reporting for health
maintenance exams with primary care
providers. The intervention being tested
in this project will be the decision aid
entitled, Prostate Cancer Screening: A
Decision Guide, used to assess the main
and interactive effects of primary care
provider practice style and exposure to
the decision aid on prostate cancer
screening.
In 2005, CDC conducted a replicated
measures validation study (OMB# 0920–
0651); Expiration date: 11/30/07, in
which measures were validated with the
target audiences to both versions of the
decision aid: (1) men eligible for
screening in the general population
(N=200) and (2) African American men
eligible for screening (N=200). The
estimate of burden for the instrument is
based on results from this study.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
210.

Background and Brief Description
Section 2(a) of Public Law 102–493
(known as the Fertility Clinic Success
Rate and Certification Act of 1992
(FCSRCA), 42 U.S.C. 263a–1(a)) requires
that each assisted reproductive
technology (ART) program shall
annually report to the Secretary through
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention—(1) pregnancy success rates
achieved by such ART program, and (2)
the identity of each embryo laboratory
used by such ART program and whether
the laboratory is certified or has applied
for such certification under this act.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is seeking a 3 year
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval for a revision of a
reporting system for the Assisted
Reproductive Technology (ART)
Program. This reporting system has been
designed by Westat for CDC to comply
with the requirements of the FCSRCA.
The reporting system includes all ART
cycles initiated by any of the
approximately 400 ART programs in the
United States, and covers the pregnancy
outcome of each cycle, as well as a
number of data items deemed important
to explain variability in success rates
across ART programs and across
individuals. (An ART cycle is
considered to begin when a woman

or starts ovarian monitoring with the
intent of having embryos transferred.
The data file is organized with one
record per cycle.) Data is to be collected
through Web-based data collection
system developed by Westat in
consultation with CDC.
In developing the definition of
pregnancy success rates and the list of
data items to be reported, CDC has
consulted with representatives of the
Society for Assisted Reproductive
Technology (SART), the American
Society for Reproductive Medicine, and
RESOLVE, the National Infertility
Association (a national, nonprofit
consumer organization), as well as a
variety of individuals with expertise
and interest in this field.
Approximately 400 ART programs
reported data in 2002. The average
number of ART cycles (responses) per
ART program was 288. Using these
numbers as a baseline, approximately
10% of the ART programs will be
selected for data validation. An average
of 50 ART cycles per ART program will
be selected for full validation. In
addition, an average of 33 ART cycles
per selected ART program that resulted
in a live birth will be selected for an
abbreviated validation.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are

Proposed Project
Survey of Illness and Injury Among
Backcountry Users in Yellowstone
National Park—New—National Center
for Infectious Diseases (NCID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
There are few data on the risk factors
for illness and injury among persons
who travel into the backcountry in the
United States. The backcountry
encompasses primitive or wilderness
areas that lack most facilities and
services and that are reached primarily
by hiking, boating, or horseback. In
general, backcountry users must bring in
their own supplies (such as shelter,
food, water, or water treatment
supplies). As many as 68% to 82% of
long-distance hikers and backpackers
have reported experiencing illnesses or

Jkt 208001
injuries during their time in the
backcountry. For example, 4% to 56%
have reported gastrointestinal illness
and 41% to 62% have reported
musculoskeletal injuries.
Such a high burden of disease has
significant medical and economic
implications given the increasing
popularity of backcountry use. In 1994–
95, almost 8% of Americans age 16
years and older (about 15 million
persons) went backpacking in the
previous 12 months, which involved
camping for one or more nights along a
trail and carrying food, shelter, and
utensils with them. In the same period
of time, about 14% (or 28 million
persons) camped in primitive settings
that usually lacked restrooms, hookups,
and most facilities and services. In fact,
camping in backcountry areas grew by
about 72% from 1982–83 to 1994–95.
While people can travel in the
backcountry in many locations and on
both private and public lands, many
travelers hike, backpack, and camp in
the backcountry in national parks. In
2003, there were over 266 million
recreational visits to national parks with
over 1.8 million overnight stays in the
backcountry. Yellowstone National Park
alone had almost 19,690 persons visit
the backcountry in 2003, accounting for
over 46,000 overnight stays.
Because little is known about the
health outcomes for visitors who use the
backcountry areas of our nation’s parks,
advice to park managers and the public
is currently general in nature, based
only on standard disease prevention
principles. Furthermore, some outdoor
use groups have recently questioned
some of this standard advice, such as
the universal need for careful filtration
and disinfection of backcountry
drinking water. This study will
investigate behavioral and
environmental risk factors that may be
associated with illness and injury
among persons who require park
permits to travel into backcountry areas
in Yellowstone National Park during the
backcountry season from May 1–Oct. 31,
2006. The data collected will be used to
provide an estimate of the burden of
illness and injury among backcountry

users and will also provide information
about a variety of risk factors for illness
and injury in the backcountry, including
the risks associated with drinking
untreated water from lakes and streams.
With this information, the National Park
Service (NPS) will be able to address
many of the questions raised by outdoor
users and public health officials, and
improve and strengthen evidence-based
NPS guidelines for backcountry health
and sanitation practices. To gather this
information, consent to contact after the
conclusion of the backcountry trip will
be requested from an estimated 12,906
backcountry users when they present to
the Yellowstone National Park’s permit
offices prior to entering the
backcountry. Approximately 10,325 of
these backcountry users will be adults
who are eligible to participate in the
survey. A questionnaire (in either
Internet-based or paper-based format)
will then be offered to an estimated
5,276 adult backcountry users who
consent to be contacted. Participants
will be asked about their health (before,
during and after backcountry travel),
water consumption, water preparation
habits, food consumption, food
preparation habits, sanitation practices,
recreational water use, animal exposure,
and demographics.
This study is the beginning of what
will be an on-going effort to improve the
science-basis of the NPS
recommendations and policies related
to protecting human health in the
backcountry. This effort seeks to begin
to identify disease transmission
pathways and assess disease and injury
risks associated with specific activities,
choices, and behaviors of backcountry
visitors, such as water purification,
sanitation practices, and hygiene.
Thoroughly understanding transmission
pathways and the interactions of agent,
environment, and host will enable the
NPS to effectively and efficiently
improve visitor protection efforts. There
will be no cost to respondents.
Participation is voluntary and will not
affect the application process for the
backcountry use permit. The total
estimated annualized hours requested
are 1,803.
