Proposed Project
CDC Cervical Cancer Study (CX3)—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Breast and Cervical
Cancer Early Detection Program
(NBCCEDP) is the only organized
national screening program in the
United States that offers breast and
cervical cancer screening to
underserved women. Screening policies
for cervical cancer in the program
include an annual Pap test until a
woman has had three consecutive
normal Pap tests. However, human
papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing is
not currently a reimbursable expense
under NBCCEDP guidelines, therefore
adopting HPV DNA testing along with
Pap testing in women over 30 could
help the program better utilize resources
by extending the screening interval of
women who are cytology negative and
HPV test negative, which is estimated to
be 80–90% of women.
CDC proposes to conduct a pilot study
at 18 clinics in the state of Illinois in
order to assess the feasibility,
acceptability and barriers to use the
HPV DNA test in conjunction with Pap

test screening. Clinics will be assigned
to an intervention group or a control
group, matched on clinic attributes such
as geographical location (urban, rural),
HPV policy, and hospital versus nonhospital status, provider specialty mix,
patient volume, and racial/ethnic
characteristics of the patient population.
Clinics in the intervention group will
receive HPV DNA tests to administer to
eligible patients presenting for a routine
Pap test, as well as a multi-component
educational intervention involving both
health care providers and patients.
Clinics in the control group will receive
the HPV tests for eligible patients but
will not receive the educational
interventions involving health care
providers and patients.
OMB approval is requested for the
first three years of a planned five-year
study period. Information will be
collected primarily from clinical care
providers, clinic coordinators, and a
sample of women between the ages of
35 and 60 who visit one of the
participating clinics for routine cervical
cancer screening.
The results of this study will provide
information about knowledge, attitudes,
beliefs, and cervical cancer screening
practices involving low-income,
underserved women. The findings will
help inform policy regarding the HPV
DNA test on a national level for cervical
cancer screening in the NBCCEDP.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
1,006.

Cost and Follow-up Assessment of
Administration on Aging (AoA)—
Funded Fall Prevention Programs for
Older Adults—New—National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
VerDate Nov<24>2008
Proposed Project
NCIPC seeks to examine cost of
implementing each of the three AoAfunded fall prevention programs for
older adults (Stepping On, Moving for
Better Balance and Matter of Balance)
and to assess the maintenance of fall
prevention behaviors among
participants six months after completing
the Matter of Balance program. To
assess the maintenance of fall
prevention behaviors, CDC will conduct
telephone interviews of 425 Matter of
Balance program participants six
months after they have completed the
program. The interview will assess their
knowledge and self-efficacy related to
falls as taught in the course, their
activity and exercise levels, and their
reported falls both before and after the
program. The results of the follow-up
assessment will determine the extent to
which preventive behaviors learned
during the Matter of Balance program
are maintained and can continue to

reduce fall risk. The cost assessment
will calculate the lifecycle cost of the
Stepping On, Moving for Better Balance,
and Matter of Balance programs. It will
also include calculating the investment
costs required to implement each
program, as well as the ongoing
operational costs associated with each
program. These costs will be allocated
over a defined period of time depending
on the average or standard amount of
time these programs continue to operate
(standard lifecycle analysis ranges from
five to 10 years). As part of the lifecycle
cost calculation, these data will allow us
to compare program costs and to
identify specific cost drivers, cost risks,
and unique financial attributes of each
program. Local program coordinators for
the 200 sites in each of the AoA-funded
states will collect the cost data using
lifecycle cost spreadsheets that will be
returned to CDC for analysis. The results
of these studies will support the
replication and dissemination of these
fall prevention programs and enable
them to reach more older adults. The
Survey Screen takes 3 minutes, the
survey instrument takes forty five
minutes, and the cost tool takes two
hours to complete. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
The total annual burden is 744 hours.
