Proposed Project
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
Among Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) Workers: A NEISS-Work
Telephone Interview Survey—New—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Studies have reported that EMS
workers have higher rates of non-fatal
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
injuries and illnesses as compared to the
general worker population. As EMS
professionals are tasked with protecting
the health of the public and treating
urgent medical needs, it follows that
understanding and preventing injuries
and illnesses among EMS workers will
have a benefit reaching beyond the
workers to the general public.
As mandated in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L.
91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to
conduct research and investigations on
occupational safety and health. Related
to this mission, the purpose of this
project is to conduct research that will
provide a detailed description of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses
incurred by EMS workers. This project
will bridge a gap of limited existing
EMS worker injury and illness
surveillance identified in a 2007
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, (NHTSA) report. The
project will use two related data
sources. The first source is data
abstracted from medical records of EMS
workers treated in a nationally stratified
sample of emergency departments.
These data are routinely collected by the
occupational supplement to the
National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System (NEISS-Work). The second data
source, for which NIOSH is seeking
OMB approval, is responses to
telephone interview surveys of the
injured and ill EMS workers identified
within NEISS-Work.
The proposed telephone interview
surveys will supplement NEISS-Work
data with an extensive description of
EMS worker injuries and illnesses,
including worker characteristics, injury
types, injury circumstances, injury
outcomes, and use of personal
protective equipment. Previous reports
describing occupational injuries and
illnesses to EMS workers provide
limited details on specific regions or
sub-segments of the population and
many are outdated. As compared to
these earlier studies, the scope of the
telephone interview data will be broader
as it includes sampled cases nationwide
and has no limitations in regards to type
of employment (i.e., volunteer versus
career). Results from the telephone
interviews will be weighted and
reported as national estimates.
The sample size for the telephone
interview survey is estimated to be
approximately 175 EMS workers
annually for the proposed four year
duration of the study. This estimate is
based on the number of EMS workers
identified in previous years of NEISSWork data and a 50% response rate that
is comparable to the rate of previously
conducted National Electronic Injury

Surveillance System telephone
interview studies. Each telephone
interview will take approximately 20
minutes to complete, resulting in an
annualized burden estimate of 58 hours.
Using the routine NEISS-Work data, an
analysis of all identified EMS workers
will be performed to determine if there
are any differences between the
telephone interview responder and nonresponder groups.
This project is a collaborative effort
between the Division of Safety Research
in the NIOSH and the Office of
Emergency Medical Services in the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. Both agencies have a
strong interest in improving
surveillance of EMS worker injuries and
illnesses to provide the information
necessary for effectively targeting and
implementing prevention efforts and,
consequently, reducing occupational
injuries and illnesses among EMS
workers. The Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) will also contribute
to this project as they are responsible for
coordinating the collection of all NEISSWork data and for overseeing the
collection of all telephone interview
data.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
Formative Research on Lung Cancer
Screening—New—Division of Cancer
The value of screening for lung cancer
is a topic of scientific debate with
important medical and economic
consequences. Although chest x-rays
(CXR) have been widely used for lung
cancer screening, studies have shown
that CXR with or without sputum
cytology does not reduce mortality from
lung cancer. Studies are currently
underway to provide more information
about the effectiveness of other types of
screening tests, such as computed
tomography (CT) scans and spiral CT
scans.
CDC proposes to conduct formative
research to gather information from
adult health care consumers and
primary care physicians about
experiences and practices related to
lung cancer screening. Information will
be collected over a two-year period. Of
particular interest are long-term heavy
smokers aged 40–70 who are considered
high-risk for lung cancer. Information to
be collected concerns their knowledge,
attitudes, and behaviors related to
preventive lung cancer screening and
testing. Eight in-person focus groups
involving an average of nine health care

consumers will be conducted in each
year of the study. In addition, in-depth
follow-up interviews will be conducted
by telephone with a limited subset of
health care consumers who report
experience with screening tests such as
spiral computed tomography (CT).
Information will also be collected
through focus groups composed of
primary care physicians. Potential
respondents will indicate their interest
in participating by completing and
returning a mailed screening form.
Focus groups involving physicians will
be conducted by telephone and will also
collect information about knowledge,
attitudes, and behaviors related to
preventive cancer screening and testing.
Four focus groups involving physicians
will be conducted in each year of the
study with an average of six
respondents participating in each focus
group. Two alternates will be recruited
for each physician focus group in order
to assure the participation of the
targeted number of physician
respondents.
The results of this formative research
project will be used to inform future
research and educational efforts and to
develop lung cancer screening and
testing interventions.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 193.
