Proposed Project: Audience Profiling for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Status—New—National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Coordinating Center for Environmental Health and Injury Prevention (CCEHIP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dated: February 9, 2009. Charles E. Johnson, Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. E9–3837 Filed 2–24–09; 8:45 am] Background and Brief Description BILLING CODE 4160–90–M DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [30Day–09–08BP] Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of information collection requests under Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the leading causes of poison-related deaths in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year approximately 500 people die of unintentional, nonfire-related CO exposure, and another 15,000 individuals visit emergency rooms for treatment from exposure to CO gas. Despite our current knowledge of scenarios and products that lead to CO poisoning, questions remain about when and how individuals use CO-emitting products, why they engage in certain risk behaviors, how best to inform them about the CO poisoning, and how receptive they are to existing prevention materials. This study aims to address these questions through assessing the basis for current audience knowledge, attitudes, and practices and, ultimately, strengthen educational materials about CO poisoning prevention. The study will employ the use of qualitative methods during three phases of data collection. Phase I will consist of eight in-person focus groups among home furnace owners and portable generator owners (n = 64) as well as four telephone interviews with organizations that serve populations at risk for CO poisoning (n = 4). Phase II will consist of analyzing previously collected data on consumer media usage and preferences. Phase III will consist of 16 in-person triad interviews (3 individuals per interview) with home furnace owners and portable generator owners (n = 48) to pretest CO poisoning educational materials. NCEH will identify individuals for the focus groups and triad interviews using recruiting firms that specialize in the two at-risk populations: (1) Home furnace owners and (2) portable generator owners. Individuals in these two groups will be screened over the telephone by the recruiting firms, and if they meet the eligibility criteria, will be invited to participate in the study. At the end of each focus group and triad interview, NCEH will ask participants to complete a brief exit questionnaire on demographics and media usage. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total estimated burden hours are 276.

CDC has contracted with RTI International to develop and field a survey instrument to measure the QoL impacts of child maltreatment. RTI will develop the instrument based on standardized QoL methods, existing instruments, a literature review of CM outcomes, and qualitative research techniques. The final instrument will be fielded to a national sample and data analyzed to measure the impacts of CM. Survey development will include interviews with both clinician proxies for adolescent survivors and CM survivors, as well as focus groups with same-sex adult CM survivors. The instrument will be pretested to an online national sample of all U.S. adults. After pretesting, the final survey will be fielded to a nationallyrepresentative sample of 2000 U.S. adults. The survey will focus on QoL measures of preferences and contain limited questions on past CM exposure to identify possible CM survivors. The national sample will be representative of the U.S. population and include a significant number of CM survivors so that preferences can be estimated separately based on past CM exposure. Final results will provide an estimate of the quality-of-life burden of child maltreatment in the United States. Analysis and results of the survey data will be used to inform the public health community of the impact of CM, and to evaluate and compare CM intervention programs. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. 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.

To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call 404–639–5960 and send comments to Maryam I.

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) Measuring Preferences for Quality of Life for Child Maltreatment—New— National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Division of Violence Prevention (DVP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The CDC requests approval of a study and subsequent survey fielding to measure the quality-of-life (QoL) impacts resulting from child maltreatment (CM) using a quantitative, preference-based approach. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, among many others, has identified child maltreatment as a serious U.S. public health problem with substantial long-term physical and psychological consequences. Despite considerable research on the consequences of CM in adult survivors, few studies have utilized standard QoL techniques and none have quantified childhood QoL impacts. This gap in the literature means the full QoL burden of CM has not been measured inhibiting the evaluation and comparison of CM intervention programs.

Prevention Status--New--National Center for Environmental Health 
(NCEH), Coordinating Center for Environmental Health and Injury 
Prevention (CCEHIP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the leading causes of poison-related 
deaths in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year approximately 500 people die 
of unintentional, nonfire-related CO exposure, and another 15,000 
individuals visit emergency rooms for treatment from exposure to CO 
gas.
    Despite our current knowledge of scenarios and products that lead 
to CO poisoning, questions remain about when and how individuals use 
CO-emitting products, why they engage in certain risk behaviors, how 
best to inform them about the CO poisoning, and how receptive they are 
to existing prevention materials. This study aims to address these 
questions through assessing the basis for current audience knowledge, 
attitudes, and practices and, ultimately, strengthen educational 
materials about CO poisoning prevention.
    The study will employ the use of qualitative methods during three 
phases of data collection. Phase I will consist of eight in-person 
focus groups among home furnace owners and portable generator owners (n 
= 64) as well as four telephone interviews with organizations that 
serve populations at risk for CO poisoning (n = 4). Phase II will 
consist of analyzing previously collected data on consumer media usage 
and preferences. Phase III will consist of 16 in-person triad 
interviews (3 individuals per interview) with home furnace owners and 
portable generator owners (n = 48) to pretest CO poisoning educational 
materials.
    NCEH will identify individuals for the focus groups and triad 
interviews using recruiting firms that specialize in the two at-risk 
populations: (1) Home furnace owners and (2) portable generator owners. 
Individuals in these two groups will be screened over the telephone by 
the recruiting firms, and if they meet the eligibility criteria, will 
be invited to participate in the study. At the end of each focus group 
and triad interview, NCEH will ask participants to complete a brief 
exit questionnaire on demographics and media usage.
