Download as PDF 34692 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 121 / Monday, June 25, 2007 / Notices of screening to improve outcomes for women exposed to IPV. Based on the recommendations of a recent expert panel, in order to provide this evidence we are proposing to conduct a randomized controlled trial. The trial will recruit 3680 women in a public obstetrics, gynecology, and family planning clinic. Women attending this clinic tend to be African American and of lower socioeconomic status. For this study (the Main Study), women will be randomly allocated to one of three arms: (1) Screened for IPV, and if disclosing IPV, provided information on available IPV services; (2) not screened and all receiving information on available IPV services; or (3) a control group that will not be screened nor receive information on available IPV services. All three arms will be assessed with a self-report measure for mental health, disability, and quality of life at baseline utilizing an audio-computer-assisted structured interview (A–CASI) and at a 12-month follow-up utilizing a computerizedassisted telephone interview (CATI). A pretest with 196 women in this same clinic will be conducted to test the enrollment, randomization, interview, and follow-up procedures; provide estimates for outcome measures and a potential mediator of outcomes (contact of IPV services); and establish the concordance between measures used at baseline (in the clinic) and at a oneweek follow-up over the phone. The study arms of the Pretest, which vary slightly from those of the Main Study, are designed to accomplish these intermediate objectives. The results will be used to refine the measures, procedures, and sample size requirements for the Main Study. The results from the Main Study, the Randomized Controlled Trial, will guide CDC as well as other governmental agencies, professional and health care organizations, and women’s advocate groups in formulating its recommendations and policies regarding routine screening. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate in the survey. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 717.7.
