leadership survey will be sent to the
clinic directors in each of the 43 clinics
that participated in the DDI across the
10 locations to obtain information on
the cost of delivering the medical
services required in diabetes screening
and diagnosis; and (3) a patient survey
will be administered to a sample of 600
patients at the 43 participating clinics to
obtain information regarding patient
out-of-pocket medical and non-medical
direct health care costs and the
perceived economic benefits of diabetes
screening. The results of the study will
also provide information needed for
conducting a more complete costeffectiveness analysis of screening for
undiagnosed diabetes.
The local implementation team
survey will be mailed to the local DDI
implementation team leader in each of
the 10 regions to collect information
regarding the staff time and other
resources used to implement the DDI
program (including the staff time and
resources used by community-based
organizations that participated in the
DDI implementation). These planning
and implementation activities include
participating in meetings and
conference calls, recruiting clinics and
community-based organizations to
participate in the DDI, distributing risk
tests, organizing health fairs and other
community events, and designing media
campaigns to promote the DDI.
The health clinic leadership survey
will be mailed to the clinic director at
each of the 43 clinics across the 10
locations that participated in the DDI
implementation. The survey will collect
information regarding the costs
associated with the clinic’s participation
in the DDI. These will include the
medical costs of providing care to
patients who visited the clinic as a
result of the DDI, staff time associated
with DDI planning and implementation,
and any staff time that was devoted to
performing finger stick tests at locations
other than the health clinic (e.g., health
fairs, shopping malls, work sites,
housing complexes). Of the 43 clinics to
be surveyed, we expect that 30 (70%)
will complete the survey.
A computer-assisted in-person patient
survey will be administered to a sample
of 600 clinic patients at the 43 clinics
that participated in the DDI. The survey
will collect background information,
out-of-pocket medical and non-medical
direct health care costs (e.g., copayments, transportation costs, value of
patients’ time associated with the clinic
visit), and preferred features of a
diabetes screening program. There are
no costs to respondents other than their
time.

the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

Background and Brief Description
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to
Community Health (REACH) currently
funds forty local coalitions to establish
community based programs and
culturally appropriate interventions to
eliminate racial and ethnic health
disparities. Communities served by
REACH include: African American,
American Indian, Hispanic American,
Asian American, and Pacific Islander.
These communities select among infant
mortality, deficits in breast and cervical
cancer screening and management,
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, HIV/
AIDS, and deficits in childhood and
adult immunizations to focus their
interventions. Guided by logic models,
each community articulates goals,
objectives, and related activities; tracks
whether goals and objectives are met,
ongoing, or revised; and evaluates all
program activities. This information
will then be entered into the REACH
Management Information System
(REACH MIS). REACH MIS is a
customized internet-based support
system that allows REACH grantees to
perform remote data entry and retrieval
of data. The contract for our current
Information Network (REACH IN), OMB

control number 0920–0603, (Expires 02/
28/2010) is expected to end and since
we will not be renewing the contract
CDC is developing its own system.
This support system is designed to
create on-demand graphs and reports of
grantees’ activities and
accomplishments, monitor progress
toward the achievement of goals and
objectives, and share and synthesize
information across grantees’ activities.
Both quantitative and qualitative
analyses can be performed.
The REACH Management Information
System will collect in electronic format:
(a) Data needed to measure progress
toward, or achievement of, newly
developed performance indicators, (b)
information on REACH grantees that is
currently being reported in hard-copy
documents. An Internet-based
management information system will
allow CDC to monitor, and report on,
grantee activities more efficiently. Data
reported to CDC through the REACH
management information system will be
used by CDC to identify training and
technical assistance needs, monitor
compliance with cooperative agreement
requirements, evaluate the progress
made in achieving center-specific goals,
and obtain information needed to
respond to Congressional and other
inquiries regarding program activities
and effectiveness.
The annualized estimated burden is
based on 40 respondents. It is estimated
that they each will use the system four
times a year to enter data, each data
entry taking about 45 minutes.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
