connect the potential data source. To
collect this information, a series of
questionnaires in an Excel spreadsheet
have been designed. Data collection will
take place during and after on-site visits
by BioSense personnel and contractors.
We estimate that such data will be
collected from 20 new entities (each
representing many facilities or clinics)
each year.
A second requirement is that
electronic data records be transmitted to
the BioSense system. Currently, data are
transmitted from 35 entities, including 8
detailed emergency department data
(e.g., vital signs, triage notes,
medications). All are submitted via
electronic record transmission,
generally using a software program
called PHIN-MS. A large number of
electronic records are transmitted from
each entity each year; however, once the
automated interfaces are set up for
transmission, there is no human burden
for record transmission.
There are no costs to prospective data
sources other than their time.

hospitals/hospital groups (which
collectively transmit data from 460
hospitals); the Department of Veterans
Affairs (which transmits data from 820
facilities), the Department of Defense
(which transmits data from 320
facilities), 2 national laboratories, and
one pharmacy claims system (which
transmits data from >30,000
pharmacies). The data may include
foundational data (e.g., demographics,
chief complaint, diagnosis), laboratory
data, pharmacy data, radiology data, or

In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 or send
comments to Maryam I. Daneshvar, CDC
Acting Reports Clearance Officer, 1600

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.
Proposed Project
Testing and Development of Materials
Promoting Prevention and Control of
Traumatic Brain Injury in Schools—
New—, Division of Injury Response
(DIR), National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, an estimated 1.4 million
Americans sustain a traumatic brain
injury (TBI). A TBI is caused by a bump,
blow, or jolt to the head or a penetrating
head injury that disrupts the normal
function of the brain.
Children ages 0 to 4 years and
adolescents ages 15–19 are at the
greatest risk of sustaining a TBI, as they
often sustain TBIs from a host of
mechanisms including falls (down stairs
or from heights such as counter tops or
beds), direct impacts (e.g. getting hit in
the head with a ball), and motor vehicle
crashes.
In order to address this important
public health problem among young
children and adolescents, CDC plans to
conduct a national TBI educational
initiative aimed at school nurses, school
counselors, school psychologists, and
school administrators. As part of the
initiative, CDC will develop educational
materials and messages for these
audiences, as well as tools for partners,
to help improve the prevention,
recognition, and management of TBI
among school-aged children and
adolescents.
School nurses, school counselors,
school psychologists, and school
administrators are important audiences
for this initiative, as they are well
positioned to address short- and longterm issues related to TBI. These
audiences play an important role in
addressing the needs of students and
working collaboratively with educators
and parents. School nurses need
current, reliable, and easy to use
materials about TBI, to keep them up-todate on the issue and assist them in
educating and caring for students who
come to them with a suspected TBI.
Nurses, counselors and administrators
can promote prevention of TBI in the
school setting and inform educators and
parents about TBI prevention and
recognition in the classroom, on the
playground and on the field. They can
also work with schools to institute TBI
specific back-to-school and return-toplay plans.
As part of this research, school
nurses, counselors, psychologists, and
administrators will participate in
professionally moderated individual indepth interviews. Information will be
collected concerning respondents’
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about
traumatic brain injury and where and
how they get health information.

The goal of these interviews with
school professionals is to understand
needs of school professionals (including
school nurses, school counselors, school
psychologists, and school
administrators) for materials or tools
related to TBI. The materials will
provide guidance on how to prevent and
recognize TBI in students. The content
discussed in these interviews will be
used to refine materials and develop
future materials. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
The National Survey of Family
Growth (NSFG)–(0920–0314)—
Revision—National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on ‘‘family formation, growth,
and dissolution,’’ as well as
‘‘determinants of health’’ and
‘‘utilization of health care’’ in the
United States. This three-year clearance
request includes the data collection in
2010–2012 for the continuous NSFG.
The National Survey of Family
Growth (NSFG) was conducted
periodically between 1973 and 2002,
and continuously since 2006, by the
National Center for Health Statistics,
CDC. Each year, about 14,000
households are screened, with about
5,000 participants interviewed annually.
Participation in the NSFG is completely
voluntary and confidential. Interviews
average 60 minutes for males and 80
minutes for females. The response rate
since 2006 is about 75 percent for both
males and females.
The NSFG programs produces
descriptive statistics which measure
factors associated with birth and
pregnancy rates, including
contraception, infertility, marriage,
divorce, and sexual activity, in the U.S.
population 15–44; and on behaviors that
affect the risk of sexually transmitted
diseases (STD), including HIV, and the
medical care associated with
contraception, infertility, and pregnancy
and childbirth.
NSFG data users include the DHHS
programs that fund it, including CDC/
NCHS and seven others (The Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute for
Child Health and Human Development
(NIH/NICHD); the Office of Population
Affairs (DHHS/OPA); the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (DHHS/OASPE); the
Children’s Bureau (DHHS/ACF/CB); the
CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention
(CDC/DHAP); the CDC’s Division of STD
Prevention (CDC/DSTD); and the CDC’s
Division of Reproductive Health (CDC/
DRH). The NSFG is also used by state
and local governments; private research
and action organizations focused on
men’s and women’s health, child wellbeing, and marriage and the family;
academic researchers in the social and
public health sciences; journalists, and
many others.
This submission requests approval for
three years. No questionnaire changes
are requested in the first 18 months of
this clearance (July 2009–December
2010); some limited changes may be
requested after that, to be responsive to
emerging public policy issues.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
