Childhood lead poisoning, while on
the decline, remains a threat to the
health and well-being of young children
across the United States. In accordance
with the Healthy People 2010 goal to
‘‘eliminate elevated blood lead levels in
children,’’ there is a need for primary
prevention of childhood lead poisoning.
Primary prevention is the removal of
lead hazards from a child’s environment
before the child is exposed. Ensuring
compliance with the Lead Disclosure
Rule is one component of a primary
prevention strategy.
As part of this evaluation effort, CDC
is interested in the perception of the
Lead Disclosure Rule by sectors of the
property owner population that have
been targeted less often for enforcement
of the rule. This survey of small and
medium-sized rental property owners
(owning fewer than 50 rental units) is
the first effort of its kind to capture this
particular population’s self-reported
awareness of and compliance with the
Lead Disclosure Rule.
Approval was granted for the
information collection request, set to
The population surveyed using this
questionnaire are small and medium
property owners who rent housing units
to tenants. These owners may not
consider themselves to be in business or
may not have leasing offices. Regardless,
they are technically small business
owners. They have been identified by
publicly-available tax assessor records.
A sample of 3,000 such owners will be
surveyed, with a likely response from
approximately 1,000 small and medium
property owners. We believe this is a
good use of public burden because this
particular population has never been
surveyed as to their awareness of and
compliance with the Lead Disclosure
Rule. The anticipated burden per
respondent has been kept to a minimum
by asking only a small number of
essential questions. Additionally, the
questionnaire is anonymous so that no
individual property owner or small
business can be identified. There is no
cost to the respondents other than their
time.
expire 01/31/2008. However, due to
unforeseeable and unavoidable delays
in coordinating the interventions, an
extension of the approved information
request is required to complete data
collection. An extension of 2 years is
requested to allow for further
unavoidable delays. There are no
proposed changes to the survey design
or questionnaire.
The survey was to be administered
twice in four U.S. cities during 2005 and
2006. Two of the cities are involved in
a compliance assistance and
enforcement intervention by HUD. The
other two cities are control cities
(without such an intervention). For all
four cities, CDC is conducting a crosssectional, ‘‘before and after’’ study
design. Each respondent is surveyed
only once, and participation is
voluntary. Respondents are asked to
complete a brief written survey and
return the survey anonymously via the
addressed, stamped envelope CDC will
provide. There is no cost to respondents
except the time to complete the survey.

Background and Brief Description
Currently, there is scientific debate
about the value of lung cancer
screening. For people in whom lung
cancer is found and treated at an early,
localized stage, the five-year survival
rate is roughly 49%. However, only 16%
of people with lung cancer are
diagnosed at this early, localized stage.
Screening for lung cancer using chest
x-rays (CXR) was widely practiced, but
studies have shown that CXR with or
without sputum cytology does not
reduce mortality from lung cancer.
Studies are currently underway to
provide more information about the
effectiveness of other types of screening
tests, such as computed tomography
(CT) scans and spiral CT scans.
The purpose of this project is to
conduct formative research to gather
information from adult consumers and
primary care physicians about
experiences and practices related to
lung cancer screening and testing as
well as their knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors related to preventive cancer

screenings overall. Of particular interest
are adults aged 40–70 years of various
races and ethnicities who are at high
risk for lung cancer (i.e., long-term
heavy smokers).
The proposed project will use focus
groups to gather information about the
target audiences’ experiences and
practices related to lung cancer
screening and testing. If warranted from
focus group data with adult consumers,
follow-up personal interviews will be
conducted with selected focus group
participants, especially those reporting
experience with screening tests, such as
spiral computed tomography (CT).
physicians. The American Medical
Association Physician Masterfile list
will be used to recruit a random sample
of physicians for participation in the
focus groups. Potential participants
(physicians) will be mailed a screening
packet to complete and return. Each of
the four focus groups will include
approximately eight participants and
last 75 minutes.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey.
A total of 16 focus groups will be
conducted at professional focus group
facilities with long term heavy smokers
aged 40–70. The data will be collected
from a convenience sample of adults
who will be screened and recruited
using lists maintained by the focus
group facilities. Each focus group will
include approximately nine participants
and last two hours. If warranted, onehour telephone follow-up interviews
will be conducted with up to 16
participants within one month of the
focus groups.
Four telephone focus groups will be
conducted with primary care
