Proposed Project
The Study to Explore Early
Development, [OMB# 0920–0741 Exp.
6/30/2010]—Revision—National Center
on Birth Defects and Developmental
Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The Children’s Health Act of 2000
mandated CDC to establish autism
surveillance and research programs to
address the number, incidence,
correlates, and causes of autism and
related disabilities. Under the
provisions of this act, CDC funded 5
Centers for Autism and Developmental
Disabilities Research and Epidemiology
(CADDRE) including the California
Department of Health and Human
Services, Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment, Johns Hopkins
University, the University of
Pennsylvania, and the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill. CDC
National Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities participates
as the 6th CADDRE site. The SEED
multi-site, collaborative project is an
epidemiological investigation of
possible causes for the autism spectrum
disorders.
Study participants are to be selected
from children born in and residing in
the following six areas: Atlanta
metropolitan area, San Francisco Bay
area, Denver metropolitan area,
Baltimore metropolitan area,
Philadelphia metropolitan area, and
Central North Carolina. Children with
autism spectrum disorders are
compared to children with other
developmental problems, referred to as
the neurodevelopmentally impaired
group (NIC), as well as children who do
not have developmental problems,
referred to as the subcohort.
Data collection methods consist of the
following: (1) Medical record review of
the child participant; (2) medical record
review of the biological mother of the
child participant; (3) packets sent to the
participants with self-administered
questionnaires and a buccal swab kit; (4)
a telephone interview focusing on
pregnancy-related events and early life
history (biological mother and/or
primary caregiver interview); (5) a child
development evaluation (more
comprehensive for case participants
than for the control group participants);
(6) parent child development interview
(for case participants only) administered
over the telephone or in-person; (7) a
physical exam of the child participant;
(8) biological sampling of the child
participant (blood and hair); and, (9)
biological sampling of the biological
parents of the child participant (blood
only). Minor changes to some of the self
administered questionnaires and the
telephone interview include
clarification of instructions to the
respondent and clarifying specific
questions to make the instruments
easier to complete and further improve
data quality.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Project: Adult Treatment Drug Court
Cross-Site Evaluation for the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA)—NEW
SAMHSA’s Center for Substance
Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is responsible
for collecting data from 20 recently
funded Adult Treatment Drug Court
grantees and clients being served by
expansion and/or enhancement grants.
The main evaluation question is
whether the addition of substance abuse
treatment resources increases the
positive results of drug courts.
SAMHSA’s CSAT-funded grantees are
required to participate in a cross-site
evaluation as a contingency of their
award. Data on each drug court and
their processes will be collected during
three annual site visits. Some data will
be obtained through courtroom
observations; no questionnaire will be
administered to collect observational
data. Additional data will be collected
through interviews with drug court
personnel and focus groups and
interviews with drug court clients.
CSAT requests approval for
administering questionnaires to drug
court personnel. CSAT also requests
approval for conducting focus groups
with drug court clients and
administering questionnaires at 6months post-discharge from the drug
court.
