SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose of Meeting: Every 10 years,
through the Healthy People initiative,
HHS leverages scientific insights and
lessons from the past decade, along with
the new knowledge of current data,
trends, and innovations to develop the
next iteration of national health
promotion and disease prevention
objectives. Healthy People provides
science-based, 10-year national
objectives for promoting health and
preventing disease. Since 1979, Healthy
People has set and monitored national
health objectives to meet a broad range
of health needs, encourage
collaborations across sectors, guide
individuals toward making informed
health decisions, and measure the
impact of our prevention and health
promotion activities. Healthy People
2020 will reflect assessments of major
risks to health and wellness, changing
public health priorities, and emerging
issues related to our nation’s health
preparedness and prevention.
Public Participation at Meeting:
Members of the public are invited to
listen to the online Advisory Committee
meeting. There will be no opportunity
for oral public comments during the
online Secretary’s Advisory Committee
on National Health Promotion and
Disease Prevention Objectives for 2020

Proposed Project
State/Territorial Healthcare
Situational Awareness and Rapid
Survey Capability Data Call—New—
National Center for Preparedness,
Detection, and Control of Infectious
Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
During public health emergencies, the
ability of the nation’s healthcare system
to deliver care needs to be rapidly
assessed to inform response decisions.
Currently, there is no automated system
to collect and analyze information at the
federal level, and the capability to
achieve situational awareness at the
state and regional levels varies across
the nation—some states have robust
systems while others have none. The
that specific and standard information is
collected from all states and territories.
This data collection will consist of
two phases. In the first phase, CDC will
verify the contact information of the
state/territorial public health
preparedness contact. In the second
phase, the state/ territory situational
awareness data call will be distributed
to these individuals; the responses
provided will be analyzed to develop
the most effective and efficient federal
situational awareness capability.
This proposed project supports CDC’s
Preparedness Goal of ‘‘People Prepared
for Emerging Health Threats,’’
specifically the objective to ‘‘Integrate
and enhance existing surveillance
systems at the local, state, national, and
international levels to detect, monitor,
report, and evaluate public health
threats.’’
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time to complete the
data collection.
gap in the ability to collect and analyze
information during a public health
emergency across existing systems and
from jurisdictions without situational
awareness capabilities limits the
response capabilities at all levels; the
essential decision-making information is
not available at the federal level, and the
state and local response agencies will be
bombarded with multiple inquiries in
the midst of a public health emergency.
Work over the past two years has
identified significant requirements for
the development of this capability;
through collaboration with stakeholder
representatives, the foundation has been
laid to rapidly progress into the areas of
content and system development. In
order for the development to continue,
the technical characteristics of state and
territory-based systems need to be
identified so that situational awareness
capabilities at the federal level can be
designed to work in coordination with
those existing systems. It is essential

Background and Brief Description
Chlamydia (CT) is among the leading
causes of pelvic inflammatory disease
(PID), which can lead to infertility,
ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic
pain. Most cases of CT are
asymptomatic so infected girls and
women are unaware of their infections.
CDC estimates that in 2006, young
women aged 15 to 19 years had the
highest CT rate (2,862 cases per 100,000
females), followed by women aged 20 to
24 (2,797 cases per 100,000 females).
These rates are likely to be
underestimates, because many infected
persons do not seek medical care and
testing. Data at CDC suggests that CT
develops into PID in up to 40% of
untreated women and that 12% of
women are infertile after their first
experience with PID.
CDC plans to obtain public
preferences that will guide the
development of health communication
messages/materials about CT with
