Background and Brief Description REACH U.S. is an effort to meet the Healthy People 2010 goal of eliminating health disparities in the health status of racial and ethnic minorities. After initial review of the national data, a study approach was adopted on the statistical techniques of ‘‘excess deaths’’ to define the difference in minority health in relation to non-minority health. The analysis of excess deaths revealed that several specific health areas accounted for the majority of the higher annual proportion of minority deaths. Because of these sobering statistics, and the overarching goals of Healthy People 2010, REACH U.S. is being launched as a national multi-level community intervention program that serves communities with African American, PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 American Indian, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Pacific Islander citizens. The REACH U.S. program supports community coalitions in designing, implementing, and evaluating community-driven strategies to eliminate health disparities in several priority areas: Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, asthma, infant mortality, breast and cervical cancer screening and management, and adult immunization. As part of the evaluation of the REACH U.S. initiative, CDC proposes to conduct risk factor surveys by computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) in 29 communities participating in REACH U.S. activities. Surveys will be available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Khmer, and Mandarin Chinese. The target number of surveys for each community is 900 adults, aged 18 and older, who belong to the racial/ ethnic group served by the communitybased program intervention. In communities that focus on breast and cervical cancer interventions, approximately 250 of the 900 interviews will involve women aged 40–64 years. Respondents will be identified through list-assisted random-digit dialing methods. The surveys will help to assess the prevalence of various risk factors associated with chronic diseases, deficits in breast and cervical cancer screening and management, and deficits in adult immunizations. The surveys will also assess progress towards the national goal of eliminating health disparities within the communities. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
