impart information prior to testing, and
satisfaction with the testing process.
As part of the development of a model
questionnaire for inclusion in the
toolkit, three health care settings (a
hospital emergency department, a
private primary care practice and a
public primary care practice) will be
selected to pilot test the questionnaire.
In each health care site, 150 patients
will be asked to voluntarily complete a
brief computer assisted self interview
regarding their experience with the HIV
testing process during their health care
visit.
Collection of data will include
information on patient demographics
and current behaviors that may facilitate
HIV transmission; perceptions regarding
pressure to take the test; confidentiality
and privacy during testing; and patient
satisfaction and acceptance of opt-out
HIV testing. For persons who refused
HIV testing during their visit,
information about refusal will be
collected.
Results from the pilot will be assessed
to understand issues of feasibility of the
model questionnaire and validity of the
included items and scales. The findings
will be used to improve the
7067
questionnaire and protocols included in
the evaluation models toolkit.
CDC is requesting approval for a 1year clearance for data collection. CDC
estimates that 188 patients will be asked
to participate at each site and that 80%
will accept, resulting in approximately
450 new survey respondents across all
sites. The estimated average duration of
the survey is 20 minutes. Participation
is voluntary.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.
The total estimated annual burden
hours are 150.

Proposed Project
Management Information System for
Comprehensive Cancer Control
Programs—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 1994, the CDC, the American
Cancer Society, the National Cancer
Institute, the American College of
Surgeons, the North American
Association of Central Cancer Registries,
and other public health leaders at the
state and national levels began
promoting a comprehensive approach to
cancer control that would coordinate
and integrate cancer prevention and
control programs across specific cancer
funding boundaries. In 1998, the CDC
provided funding to Colorado,
Massachusetts, Michigan, North
Carolina, Texas, and the Northwest
Portland Area Indian Health Board as a
pilot to assist with implementation of
their existing comprehensive cancer
control plans. This pilot provided the
foundation for the National
Comprehensive Cancer Control Program
(NCCCP), which has since grown from

six programs to 65. Currently, all 50
states, the District of Columbia, seven
tribes/tribal organizations, and seven
territories/U.S. Pacific Island
jurisdictions receive funding to
implement cancer control plans.
Awards to individual applicants are
made for a five-year budget period. All
funded programs are required to submit
continuation applications and semiannual progress reports consistent with
federal requirements that all agencies, in
response to the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993,
prepare performance plans and collect
program-specific performance measures.
These data items are listed in the
Funding Opportunity Announcement.
The data are collected on templates
which serve as a guide, but do not
standardize the information to be
collected. This non-standardized
approach to progress reporting results in
comprehensive cancer control program
reports that vary in content and detail.
Because the data are stored as
attachments rather than in a database,
information cannot be sorted or
aggregated electronically to produce
summary reports.
CDC’s Comprehensive Cancer Control
Branch (CCCB), which manages the
NCCCP, proposes to develop a databasedriven Management Information System
(MIS), which will achieve two
objectives. First, the MIS will provide
an organized source of information
about the activities and
accomplishments of all funded NCCCP
programs. Secondly, the MIS will
provide an efficient mechanism for
generating state, regional, and national

level summary reports to monitor each
program’s progress in accomplishing
goals, and achieving program evaluation
and population-based outcomes.
OMB approval for the MIS will be
requested for a three-year period. Data
reported to CDC through the MIS will be
used by CDC to identify training and
Data will be collected electronically

is expected to decrease after
respondents become experienced with

other than their time.
