Proposed Data Collection; Comment
Request; National Physician Survey of
Practices on Diet, Physical Activity,
and Weight Control
SUMMARY: Under the provision of
section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), National
Cancer Institute (NCI), has submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection
listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on June 28, 2007,
page 43609 and allowed 60-days for
public comment. One public comment
was received asking about the
possibility of doing studies of autism
rather than the proposed survey. The
comment was out of the scope of this
current project. The purpose of this
notice is to allow an additional 30 days
for public comment. The National
Institutes of Health may not conduct or
sponsor, and the respondent is not
required to respond to, an information
collection that has been extended,
revised, or implemented on or after
October 1, 1995, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection
Title: Physician Survey of Practices on
Diet, Physical Activity, and Weight
Control.
Type of Information Collection
Request: NEW.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: This study will obtain
current, national data on primary care
physicians’ knowledge, attitudes, and
practices related to diet, physical
activity, and weight control. Obesity,
poor diet, and lack of physical activity
are becoming recognized as major
public health problems in the United
States, and have been linked to
increased risk, adverse prognosis, and
poor quality of life for cancer and many
Estimated
number
respondents
Type of respondent
other chronic diseases. The data
collected in this study will support and
further NCI work in monitoring and
evaluating providers’ cancer prevention
knowledge, attitudes, and practices and
their impact on pupulation health, as
well as enable monitoring of progress
toward major cancer control goals. Data
from the survey will be used to profile
existing physician practice, understand
barriers to counseling and referral, and
to inform methods for improving the
utilization of these services for adults
and children. Two questionnaires, one
sent to physicians and one sent to their
practice administrators, will be
administered by mail or telephone to a
randomly-selected national sample of
2,000 physicians belonging to primary
care specialties. Study participants will
be 2,000 practicing physicians who are
family practitioners, general internists,
pediatricians, and obstetrician/
gynecologists and 2,000 practice
administrators.
The annual reporting burden is as
follows: Estimated Number of
Respondents: 4,000; Estimated Number
of Responses per Respondent: 1;
Average Burden Hours Per Response:
.333; and Estimated Total Annual
Burden Hours, Requested: 1,332. The
annualized cost to respondents is
estimated at: $65,048. There are no
Capital Costs to report. There are no
Operating or Maintenance Costs to
report.

Proposed Project: National
Methamphetamine Use Prevention
Initiative—NEW
Prevention of Methamphetamine
Abuse grants are authorized under
section 519E of the Public Health
Service Act, as amended. This program
addresses the growing problem of
methamphetamine abuse and addiction
by assisting localities to expand
prevention interventions that are
effective and evidence-based and/or to
increase capacity through infrastructure
development. According to the 2005
National Survey on Drug Use and
Health, 10.4 million Americans age 12
and older had tried methamphetamine
at least once in their lifetime. In
addition, the number of
methamphetamine users who were
dependent on or abused some kind of
illicit drug rose significantly from
164,000 in 2002 to 257,000 in 2005. The
goal of the Methamphetamine Abuse
Prevention grants is to intervene
effectively to prevent, reduce, or delay
the use and/or spread of
methamphetamine abuse.

Proposed Methamphetamine
Prevention and Abuse grants will focus
on conducting community-based
prevention programs targeting those
populations within the community that
are most at risk for methamphetamine
abuse and addiction. In addition, grants
may be used for assisting local
government entities to conduct
appropriate methamphetamine
prevention activities in rural and urban
areas that are experiencing increases in
methamphetamine abuse and addiction.
This can be documented by local and
specific epidemiological, health service
use, judicial and/or environmental data.
Activities may include: training and
educating state and local law
enforcement officials, prevention and
education officials, members of
community anti-drug coalitions, and
parents on the signs of
methamphetamine abuse and addiction
and the options for prevention;
planning, administration, and
educational activities related to the
prevention of methamphetamine abuse
and addiction; monitoring and
evaluating of methamphetamine
prevention activities, and reporting and
disseminating resulting information to
the public; or conducting and evaluating
targeted pilot programs.
The grantees will be collecting data
on Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) No. 0930–0230 approved
National Outcomes Measures (NOMs)
and program specific questions on
youth and adult methamphetamine use.
There are two questionnaire forms: one
for adults ages 18 and older and another
for youths under the age of 18. The
adult and youth questionnaires contain
40 and 42 questions, respectively, with
the first 12 questions covering the OMB
approved NOMs questions. The focus
areas for the adult questionnaires
comprise attitudes toward tobacco,
alcohol, and other substances; attitudes
and experiences; family relationships,
relationships with those around you;
future goals; thoughts, beliefs, and
experiences related to
methamphetamines; and thoughts on
possible effects of methamphetamine
use. The youth survey focus areas
include: general information; attitudes
toward tobacco, alcohol, and other
substances; attitudes and experiences;
family relationships; school
experiences; perceived probability to try
substances; where they receive
substance abuse information; thoughts,
beliefs, and experiences relating to
methamphetamine; effects of
methamphetamine use; and how
comfortable they were with answering
the survey questions. Additional non-
