Proposed Project Follow-up Study of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Georgia—Reinstatement– 0920–0638—Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases (CCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC is planning a follow-up study of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in metropolitan, urban and rural communities in Georgia. This is in response to Congressional recommendations that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sustain efforts to identify biomarkers for CFS, educate health care providers national and pilot regional provider education programs designed to teach health care providers how to evaluate, diagnose and manage patients with CFS. The proposed study builds on information from the Georgia survey with the objective of collecting clinical information that will help in the treatment of CFS and will help to interpret results obtained from testing biologic specimens (i.e., identify biomarkers of CFS). This follow-up study begins with a detailed telephone interview of persons who participated in the earlier survey and volunteered to be contacted again. The interview is similar (with minor modifications) to the original interview and is intended to obtain additional data on participant health status during the last twelvemonth period. Eligible subjects with CFS, other fatiguing illnesses, and well controls will be asked to participate in clinical evaluations. about the diagnosis and treatment of CFS, and better inform the public about it to aid early detection and improve patient care. In 2004, OMB approved the information collection, Survey of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Chronic Unwellness in Georgia, under OMB Number 0920–0638. This study provided baseline information on CFS and other unexplained fatiguing illness in metropolitan, urban, and rural regions in Georgia. Data from the proposed Follow-up Study of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Georgia will be used to describe the clinical course of CFS and evaluate behavioral and biochemical factors associated with outcome. This follow-up study will also determine access to and utilization of health care by persons with CFS and measure direct and indirect economic burden due to the illness. As part of a control strategy, the information from this follow-up study will be used in ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Respondents Number responses per respondent Average burden per response (in hours) Total burden hours Telephone interview .........................................................................................
