BILLING CODE 4163–18–P
ATSDR considers evaluation to be a
critical component for enhancing
program effectiveness and improving
resource management. ATSDR’s
mandate under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERLCA), as amended, is to help
prevent or reduce further exposures at
hazardous waste sites and the illnesses
that result from such exposures. A
standardized methodology to monitor
outcomes associated with agency
intervention will provide the data
needed for demonstrating effectiveness
and efficiency as well as identifying
areas for improvement.
ATSDR, in cooperation with our
cooperative agreement partners, is
developing a series of survey modules
designed to measure individual
attitudes, knowledge and behaviors, as
well as mental and physical health selfassessments, that may be influenced by
health education and health promotion
efforts conducted by the agency at
hazardous waste sites. These modules
will be used to determine knowledge
improvements, attitude shifts, and
behavior change following specific
ATSDR program efforts and activities.

of modules(s) used at a site will vary
depending on the contaminant(s) of
concern and education/health
promotion actions undertaken. In
addition, the timing of the data
collection will vary depending on
whether this is a new site or one that
has been underway for some time. In
general, for new sites or existing sites
with new intervention efforts, we would
aim for two data collections, baseline
and post-intervention. At existing sites
where ATSDR interventions have been
completed, we would collect data once,
post-intervention.
Health education and promotion
activities are conducted at
approximately 250 sites annually. We
estimate that 90% will have total
exposed or potentially exposed
populations of 10,000 or less, and we
expect to survey up to 150 respondents
at each site. At sites with exposed or
potentially exposed populations of more
than 10,000, we expect to survey up to
500 respondents at each site.
Using a standardized methodology
and survey instrument to assess
outcomes related to targeted
intervention activities at hazardous
waste sites will provide the agency with
important feedback for program
improvement. There will be no costs to
respondents except for their time to
participate in the survey. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
27,250.
