Proposed Project Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health across the U.S. (REACH US) Evaluation—NEW— National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Minority populations in the U.S. experience health disparities and excess deaths due to the burden of disease. Analysis has shown that more than eighty percent of excess deaths in minority populations are accounted for by six disease areas: Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, asthma, infant mortality, breast and cervical cancer, and diseases that can be prevented through immunization. In response, CDC has funded a national, multi-level community intervention program to eliminate health disparities in specific priority areas, entitled ‘‘Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health across the U.S. (REACH US).’’ The REACH US program will serve communities with African American, American Indian, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Pacific Islander citizens. The REACH US program extends previous CDC-funded efforts Total burden hours 4007 funded through the related REACH 2010 program, and is part of the Department of Health and Human Services’ response to the President’s Race Initiative and to the Healthy People 2010 goal of eliminating health disparities in the health status of racial and ethnic minorities. REACH US will help to continue assessing the prevalence of self-reported risk behaviors associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, health disparities in infant mortality, deficits in breast and cervical cancer screening and management, and deficits in adult immunizations. Annual surveys will be conducted in 29 REACH US communities using Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) methodology. Information will be collected from 900 respondents in each participating community. The REACH US questionnaire is modeled on the questionnaire previously fielded through the REACH 2010 evaluation, and contains questions that are standard public health performance measures for each health priority area. There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the survey. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 9,875.

Background and Brief Description In FY 2004, Congress directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct formative research on the attitudes of children and parents regarding nutrition behavior and the characteristics of effective marketing of foods to children to promote healthy food choices. In response, CDC will work with a contractor to conduct focus groups to explore barriers and motivations to the adoption and maintenance of healthy food choices among children at different developmental stages. Current literature and opinion-leaders both strongly suggest that ‘‘tweens’’ (ages 9–12) greatly influence their parents’ and younger siblings’ nutritional decisions. The focus groups will also explore the topic of family interactions around decision-making about food choices. The information gathered will be used to develop, refine, and modify messages and strategies to increase healthy food choices by children and parents. A total of 90 focus groups will be conducted in three phases: Phase 1 will address tweens and parents of tweens; Phase 2 will focus on children 5–8 years old and their parents; and Phase 3 focus groups will be conducted with parents of children ages 1–4 years old. Thirtysix focus groups will be conducted in Phase 1; 36 focus groups will be conducted in Phase 2; and 18 focus groups will be conducted in Phase 3. All focus groups will incorporate appropriate representation of diverse ethnic groups, and the groups will be held in several cities to ensure broad geographic representation. Participants will be recruited by focus group facilities utilizing their database to solicit and screen interested parties. Each focus group discussion will be limited to no more than two hours.

CDC is proposing a new electronic information collection which will include information elements that will be integrated into the existing nationally notifiable STDs. These new information elements are beyond the scope of the OMB-approved collection called Weekly and Annual Morbidity and Mortality Reports (MMWR, OMB #0920–0007). The new collection will be epidemiologically superior to the existing system and will provide evidence to better define STD distribution and epidemiology in the United States. The proposed surveillance system will modify several data elements currently included in the MMWR collection and add others to produce a new set of sensitive indicators. This new surveillance will provide the evidence to enhance our understanding of STDs, develop intervention strategies, and evaluate the impact of ongoing control efforts.
