Number of respondents Type of report Responses per respondent HRSA collects data in the UDS which is used to ensure compliance with legislative mandates and to report to Congress and policy makers on program accomplishments. To meet these objectives, BPHC requires a core set of data collected annually that is appropriate for monitoring and evaluating performance and reporting on annual trends. The 2008 calendar year UDS will be revised in several ways. Certain UDS tables are being proposed for elimination or modification to streamline data collection and reporting.

Proposed Project

    Conduct a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Registry Pilot Test (Bibb 
County, Georgia)--New--National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID) 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is tasked with establishing a registry of chronic fatigue 
syndrome (CFS) and other fatiguing illnesses. The objective of the 
registry is to identify persons with unexplained fatiguing illnesses, 
including CFS, who access the healthcare system because of their 
symptoms. Patients will be between the ages of 12 and 59, inclusive.
    Specific aims of the registry are; (1) Identify and enroll patients 
with CFS and other unexplained fatiguing illnesses who are receiving 
medical and ancillary medical care and describe their epidemiologic and 
clinical characteristics; (2) follow CFS patients and patients with 
other fatiguing illnesses over time to characterize the natural history 
of CFS and other unexplained fatiguing illnesses; (3) assess and 
monitor health care providers' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs 
concerning CFS; (4) and to identify well-characterized CFS patients for 
clinical studies and intervention trials. These specific aims require 
inclusion of subjects in early stages of CFS (i.e., ill less than one 
year duration) who can be followed longitudinally to assess changes in 
their CFS symptoms. Data on persons with CFS in the general population 
has been collected in a separate study and is not an objective of this 
Registry.
    In order to determine the most effective and cost-efficient design 
for achieving the objective and specific aims, CDC will conduct a pilot 
test of the Registry of CFS and other fatiguing illnesses in Bibb 
County, Georgia. The CFS Registry Pilot Test will assess two Registry 
designs for efficacy and efficiency in identifying adult and adolescent 
subjects with CFS who are

receiving medical and ancillary medical care. Specifically, the CFS 
Registry Pilot Test will evaluate surveillance of patients with CFS 
identified through physician practices and a surveillance of CFS 
patients identified by physicians and other health care providers.
    The proposed study will begin when a provider refers a patient to 
the registry. Patients who consent to be contacted for the registry 
will be asked to complete a detailed telephone interview that screens 
for medical and psychiatric eligibility. Eligible subjects will be 
invited to have a clinical evaluation that comprises a physical 
examination; collection of blood, urine, and saliva specimens; a mental 
health interview; and self-administered questionnaires.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time. Patients who 
are clinically evaluated will be reimbursed for their time and effort. 
The total annualized burden hours are 2,557.
