testing will be conducted to obtain
qualitative data that will be gathered
through a series of six focus groups of
public health workers, one in each
participating state. The focus groups
will consist of 12 participants and will
be about 11⁄2 hours in length. The focus
group testing will assess attitudes,
knowledge and emotional responses. Of
particular interest will be how the
participants might react to radiological
concepts pertaining to their roles as
public health workers and scenarios that
will be included in the messages.
Quantitative data will be obtained
through a one-time written electronic
survey to randomly selected public
health workers in the six states. The
participants who will be participating in
the electronic survey will not be
included in the focus group testing.
CDC proposes to use this information
to develop a final set of communication
messages. The intent is for the messages
to be disseminated using various
methods and to provide a more
consistent platform for states to respond
to radiological emergencies. This
research will help refine messages that
have the ability to increase the
percentage of workers who present to
deliver services in a radiological
emergency. Also, as a result of the
study, CDC will have a set of tested
public health messages that can allow
public health workers to speak with one
voice to the general public in a
radiological emergency. In addition, the
development of these messages will
foster collaboration among the states
and CDC.
Therefore, CDC requests approval to
test one set of five messages among
public health workers using focus group
testing and electronic surveys. The
surveys and focus groups will include
questions about how believable the
messages are, what would make them
more believable, the need for additional
information for a clearer understanding
of the messages, how and if the
messages help them to feel safe, and
what would make them easier to
understand.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
782 hours.

Maternal prenatal alcohol use is one
of the leading, preventable, causes of
birth defects and developmental
disabilities. Children exposed to alcohol
during fetal development can suffer a
wide array of disorders, from subtle
changes in I.Q. and behaviors to
profound mental retardation. These
conditions are known as fetal alcohol
spectrum disorders (FASDs). The most
severe condition within the spectrum is
fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), which
involves disorders of the brain, growth
retardation, and facial malformations.
Physicians and other health
practitioners play a vital role in
diagnosing FAS and in screening
women of child-bearing age for alcohol
consumption and drinking during
pregnancy. In Diekman’s, et al (2000)
study of obstetricians and gynecologists,
only one fifth of doctors surveyed
reported abstinence to be the safest way
to avoid the adverse outcomes
associated with fetal alcohol exposure.
Importantly, 13% of doctors surveyed
were not sure of levels of alcohol
consumption associated with adverse
outcomes. One of CDC’s multifaceted
initiatives in combating alcohol-exposed

pregnancies is the education and
reeducation of medical and allied health
students and practitioners.
In fiscal year 2002, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
received a congressional mandate to
develop guidelines for the diagnosis of
FAS and other conditions resulting from
prenatal alcohol exposure; and to
incorporate these guidelines into
curricula for medical and allied health
students and practitioners [Public
Health Service Act Section 317K (247b–
12) b and c].
In response to the second
congressional mandate listed above,
CDC proposed five national surveys of
health providers. In August of 2005,
OMB approved these five surveys under
control number 0920–0692. The
purposes of the surveys are to assess,
among various health care provider
groups, their knowledge, attitudes, and
practices regarding the prevention,
identification, and treatment of FASDs.
These health care provider groups are
pediatricians, obstetrician-gynecologists
(OB–GYNs), psychiatrists, family
physicians, and allied health
professionals.
The results of the surveys will help to
inform further development of model
FASD curricula to disseminate among
medical and allied health students and
professionals nation wide using a
variety of formats including computer
interactive learning applications,

workshops and conferences, Continuing
Medical Education credit courses, and
medical and allied health school grand
rounds and clerkships. Consistent with
OMB’s previous terms of clearance, CDC
does not expect the results to be
generalizable to the larger populations
of the professional organizations from
which the samples were drawn. Instead,
the survey results will provide
necessary information to further
develop and refine educational
materials for medical and allied health
students and practitioners and to
evaluate their effectiveness. No gifts or
compensation will be given to
respondents who complete the survey.
An average of one survey per year will
be conducted.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
375.

The Centers for Disease Control,
Division for Heart Disease and Stroke
Prevention (DHDSP) currently funds
Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention
Programs (HDSPP) in 33 states and the
District of Columbia. HDSP programs
are population-based, State public
health programs that design, implement,
and evaluate public health prevention
and control strategies to reduce disease,
disability and death related to heart
disease and stroke, and to reach those
populations with disparities related to
cardiovascular disease. Support for
these programs is a cornerstone of
DHDSP efforts to reduce the burden of
cardiovascular disease throughout the
nation.
Recipients of HDSPP funding are
required to submit semi-annual progress
reports to CDC via an electronic
management information system (OMB

resources; identify the strengths and
weaknesses of individual programs; and
disseminate information related to
successful public health interventions.
The DHDSP also provides funding for
15 WISEWOMAN projects in 14 states.
The WISEWOMAN program offers
screening tests for chronic diseases, and
lifestyle interventions designed to
change behavioral risk factors for
chronic diseases. Recipients of
WISEWOMAN funding include 13 State
health departments and 2 Tribal
organizations.
With this Revision, questions specific
to the WISEWOMAN program will be
incorporated into the Cardiovascular
Health Branch MIS, and recipients of
WISEWOMAN funding will be added as
new respondents. In addition, the name
of the MIS will be changed from the
Cardiovascular Health Branch MIS to
the Division for Heart Disease and
Stroke Prevention MIS, to reflect
organizational changes within CDC.
