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

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

Prevention (DSTDP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
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

groups will be conducted at local predetermined focus group facilities, and
surveys will be conducted online and in
malls. Women ages 18–25 years, both
employed and working full-time, will be
recruited by phone through professional
recruitment vendors for focus groups;
and in malls and on social networking
sites for surveys. Girls ages 15–17 years,
who do and do not attend school fulltime, will be recruited by phone through
professional recruitment vendors for
focus groups, once parental consent is
obtained; and in malls and through
social networking sites (without
parental consent) for surveys. The

Youth Advice & Feedback to Inform
Choose Respect Implementation
(New)—National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCIPC seeks to obtain, over a five year
period, advice and feedback from
tweens/teens (aged 11–14) regarding
message development/placement,
creative executions, appropriate
partners, and other similar issues, to
inform ongoing implementation and
evaluation of the Choose Respect
campaign (OMB#0920–0687), an
initiative intended to promote youth
awareness of and participation in
healthy peer relationships.
Communication research indicates that
campaign planning implementation
must employ a consumer-oriented
approach to ensure that program

messages/materials, and their
placement, can successfully gain the
attention of and resonate with the
intended audience. To that end, the
NCIPC proposes conducting further
planning, implementation, and
evaluation research that enlists the
involvement and support of youth,
parents and other influencers and
measures the effect of the campaign on
the target audiences. The evaluation
will provide interim and ongoing
feedback to campaign planners
regarding the implementation and
progress of the campaign.
The proposed data collection will
enlist geographically, culturally/
racially/ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse groups of young
people to complete: (1) Ten-minute
online surveys, with 200 respondents,
four times per year; and (2) 12 in-person
focus groups, with 12 participants each,
twice per year. Online surveys will
reduce the potential burden for young
people as web-based formats are
convenient and consistent with the way
they communicate and spend their
leisure time. Online surveys—Each webbased survey will involve a different
group of 200 tweens/teens. In-person
focus groups—First and second focus
groups will involve different groups of
young people. The following focus
groups will be segmented by age and
gender, as indicated. The total
annualized estimated burden hours are
1,354.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
