Proposed Project
Evaluation of the National Youth
Violence Prevention Resource Center
(NYVPRC)—New—National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The origin of the National Youth
Violence Prevention Resource Center
(NYVPRC) is woven into the federal
response to the Columbine High School
shootings in 1999. As the Nation took a
broad look at the issue of violence
occurring in school settings, it became
clear that violence among adolescents
stretched far beyond the walls of
educational institutions and presented a
complex threatening public health
concern requiring a comprehensive
response. To that end, the White House
established the Council on Youth
Violence in October 1999 to coordinate
youth violence prevention activities of
all federal agencies. The Council, in
collaboration with CDC and other
federal agencies, directed the
development of NYVPRC to serve as a
user-friendly, single point of entry to
potentially life-saving information about
youth violence prevention.
Since 1999, a substantial body of
evidence has evolved to support the
belief that youth violence can be
prevented through the comprehensive,
systematic application of effective
approaches. A better understanding of
the key influencers on the prevention of
youth violence has emerged.1 2 3 Armed

with this greater understanding, the
NYVPRC’s role has been refocused to
better position it to respond to emerging
needs.
This project will evaluate a pilot
implementation of the revised NYVPRC
Web site. The revised Web site will
target local government and community
leaders with youth violence-related
online training, information resources
and community workspace to build and
sustain comprehensive, communitywide prevention efforts. The objectives
of the NYVPRC pilot project are to
determine (1) the usefulness and
favorability of the online training,
information resources and community
workspaces, (2) the reach of targeted
promotional efforts, and (3) progress
made on short term outcomes. Four data
collection tools will be used to measure
these objectives: (1) User feedback
surveys, (2) training surveys, (3)
implementation interviews and (4)
coalition capacity surveys.
User feedback surveys will elicit
responses from users at various points
on the NYVPRC Web site by inviting
them via a pop-up window to complete
an online survey that will take 5
minutes to complete. All questions will
be closed-ended and intended to gather
feedback on customer satisfaction
regarding the various Web site
functions. It is expected that each set of
data will be collected from up to 15
different groups of individuals over a
three year period. For each group, the
response period will continue until a
pre-determined number of surveys has
been met therefore an 80 percent
response rate is not a goal. The sample
will not be representative of the entire
population.
The training surveys will be
conducted during the online training
available through the Web site to assess
satisfaction with and knowledge gained
from the training. The training survey
questions will be woven into three
training modules that will be hosted on
the Web site. Data will be collected
electronically and, in total, the survey
will take 15 minutes to complete.
Implementation interviews and
coalition capacity surveys will be
required as a criteria for participation in
the pilot. The implementation
interviews will be conducted with all
coalition leaders invited to participate

in the pilot project. Interviews will be
conducted by phone using open-ended
questions to determine coalition
strengths, weaknesses, and barriers to
coalition building and strategic
planning efforts. Each interview will
take 30 minutes. The capacity building
surveys will be conducted with all
members of the pilot project coalitions.
These surveys will determine changes
in the capacity of partner organizations
associated with pilot coalitions and are
expected to take 30 minutes to
supporting the development of
community-wide youth violence
prevention coalitions and subsequent
strategic planning.
The pre-post research design of the
evaluation will aid CDC in assessing the

resource capacity associated with the

surveys.

interviews and coalition capacity
surveys will be conducted at the
beginning of the pilot period as a
baseline measure and again at the end
of the 12-month pilot period. The
baseline information will assist CDC in
tailoring technical assistance that might
be required by the pilot communities.
The evaluation will then utilize these
baseline measures along with the
information collected during the pilot to
assess the Web site’s success at

The National Hospital Ambulatory
Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) has
been conducted annually since 1992.
The purpose of NHAMCS is to meet the
needs and demands for statistical
information about the provision of
ambulatory medical care services in the
United States. Ambulatory services are
rendered in a wide variety of settings,
including physicians’ offices and
hospital outpatient and emergency
departments. The target of the NHAMCS
to date has been in-person visits made
to outpatient departments (OPDs) and
emergency departments (EDs) of nonFederal, short stay hospitals (hospitals
with an average length of stay of less
than 30 days) or those whose specialty
is general (medical or surgical) or
children’s general.
This revision is to transfer data
gathering from the previously
conducted National Survey of
Ambulatory Surgery (NSAS) (OMB No.
0920–0334) to NHAMCS. After the
1994–1996 NSAS, funds were not
available to gather this important, and
much sought after, data until 2006. Due
to a lack of funds it has not been
possible to conduct an independent
NSAS since that time and so, for 2009,

NCHS proposes to begin the expansion
of NHAMCS data gathering to include
hospital-based ambulatory surgery
centers (ASCs). Beginning in 2010,
NCHS plans to seek OMB approval to
expand NHAMCS to also include freestanding ASCs. The objective of this
new collection will be to collect data
about ambulatory surgery centers, the
patients they serve, and the services
they deliver. It will remain the principal
source of data on ambulatory surgery
center services in the United States. It
has been the benchmark against which
special programmatic data sources are
compared. NHAMCS ASC data that will
be collected include patient
characteristics, diagnoses, surgical and
nonsurgical procedures, provider and
type of anesthesia, time in and out of
surgery and postoperative care, and
discharge disposition.
Users of NHAMCS data include, but
are not limited to, congressional offices,
Federal agencies, state and local
governments, schools of public health,
colleges and universities, private
industry, nonprofit foundations,
professional associations, clinicians,
researchers, administrators, and health
planners. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 9,186.
