Proposed Project
Audience Analysis for Environmental
Health Issues—New—National Center
for Environmental Health/Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(NCEH/ATSDR), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The health effects associated with
climate change include injuries and
fatalities related to severe weather
events and heat waves, infectious
diseases related to changes in vector
biology, water and food contamination,
and respiratory illness due to increased
allergen production. Despite these
potentially devastating public health
consequences, few in the general public
connect climate change with health
effects. In general, the majority of
Americans associate climate change
with nonhuman impacts and
environmental problems rather than
health effects. They are more likely to be
concerned about climate change impacts
on plant and animal extinctions rather
than on human health. Thus, it is not
surprising that few in the general public
are well prepared to deal with climate
change health effects. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is
interested in developing communication
materials to increase the public’s
awareness and knowledge, and prepare
for the potential health effects
associated with climate change. To this
end, focus groups will be conducted
with members of a local California
community to understand motivations
and factors influencing target audience’s
decision process. There will also be an
emphasis on the health effects, framing
devices, and channels that might be
most effective for disseminating public
health messages and having them
motivate the intended audiences. With
that in hand it will be possible to
identify the most valuable information
and optimal strategies for
communicating with target audiences.
Focus groups will be conducted with
the residents of Santa Rosa, California.
During phase one, three exploratory
focus groups will be conducted to
develop messaging strategies. Results
from the exploratory focus groups will
be used in the development of
preliminary messaging strategies and
draft materials. This material will be
tested with the target audience during
the second phase of research. The
second phase will include three
materials testing focus groups to
determine which materials and
messages are most attractive and
compelling in terms of educating the
public about health effects and
promoting preparedness behaviors.
Participants will be recruited via
standard focus group recruitment
methods. Most will come from an
existing database (or list) of potential
participants maintained by the focus
group facility or recruited through local
newspapers. There is no cost to
respondents.
The total estimated annual burden
hours are 117.

Background and Brief Description
Section 301 of the Public Health

existing regulations governing the
foreign quarantine activities (42 CFR 71)
authorize quarantine officers and other
personnel to inspect and undertake
necessary control measures with respect
to conveyances, persons, and shipments
of animals and etiologic agents entering
the United States from foreign ports in
order to protect the public’s health.
Under the foreign quarantine
regulations, the master of a ship or
captain of an airplane entering the
United States from a foreign port is
required by public health law to report
certain illnesses among passengers (42
CFR 71.21(b)). In addition to the
aforementioned list of illnesses which
must be reported to CDC, the master of
a ship or captain of an airplane must
also report (1) Hemorrhagic Fever
Syndrome (persistent fever
accompanied by abnormal bleeding
from any site); or (2) acute respiratory
syndrome (severe cough or severe
respiratory disease of less than 3 weeks
in duration); or (3) acute onset of fever

stiff neck or change in level of
consciousness. CDC has the authority to
collect personal health information to
protect the health of the public under
the authority of section 301 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.).
This information collection request
also includes the Passenger Locator
Information Form. The Passenger
Locator Information Form is used to
collect reliable information that assists
quarantine officers in locating, in a
timely manner, those passengers and
crew who are exposed to communicable
diseases of public health significance
introduction and spread of
communicable diseases into the United
States with a minimum of
recordkeeping and reporting as well as
a minimum of interference with trade
and travel.
Respondents include airline pilots,
ships’ captains, importers, and travelers.
The nature of the quarantine response
dictates which forms are completed by
whom. There are no costs to
respondents except for their time to
complete the forms.
The total annualized burden for this
information collection request is
225,761 hours.

delegates authority to CDC to conduct
quarantine control measures. Currently,
with the exception of rodent inspections
and the cruise ship sanitation program,
inspections are performed only on those
vessels and aircraft which report illness
prior to arrival or when illness is
discovered upon arrival. Other
inspection agencies assist quarantine
officers in public health screening of
persons, pets, and other importations of
public health significance and make
referrals to the Public Health Service
when indicated. These practices and

Proposed Project
Improving the Quality and Delivery of
CDC’s Heart Disease and Stroke
Prevention Programs—New—Division
for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention
(DHDSP), National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Heart disease and stroke are among
the most widespread and costly causes
of death and disability in the U.S., but
are also among the most preventable
health problems. In 2006, CDC created
the Division of Heart Disease and Stroke
Prevention (DHDSP) to provide national
leadership for efforts to reduce the
burden of disease, disability, and death
from heart disease and stroke.
Many heart disease and stroke
prevention and control activities are
conducted through DHDSP-funded heart
disease and stroke prevention programs.
The DHDSP’s key partners include State
and local health departments, public
health organizations, community
organizations, nonprofit organizations,
and professional organizations. The
DHDSP supports partners by conducting
trainings, providing scientific guidance
and technical assistance, and producing
scientific information and supporting

tools. For example, the DHDSP provides
training to States on how to implement
and evaluate their programs and
provides guidance on how to best apply
evidence-based practices. In addition
the DHDSP translates its scientific
studies into informational products,
such as on-line reports and trend data.
Over the next three years, DHDSP
plans to conduct a series of information
collections based on a reference set of
questions that address relevance, quality
and impact of DHDSP services and
guidance. A generic clearance is
requested in order to provide flexibility
in the content and timing of specific
information collections. Surveys
tailored to specific public health
partners, services, or other
programmatic initiatives will be
developed from the reference set of preapproved questions. A small number of
demographic and descriptive questions
may be included in specific surveys to
assess the extent to which perceptions
and use of DHDSP services vary across
types of respondents. Whenever
feasible, information will be collected
electronically to reduce burden on
respondents. In addition, information
may be collected through in-person or
telephone interviews or focus groups
when Web-based surveys are
