data/information from state asthma
control programs: (1) Information that is
currently collected as part of interim
(semi-annual) and end-of-year progress
reporting, (2) Aggregate level reports of
surveillance data on long-term program
outcomes, and (3) Specific data
indicative of progress made on:
Partnerships, surveillance,
interventions, and evaluation.
Currently, data is collected on an
interim (semi-annual) basis from state
asthma control programs as part of
regular reporting of cooperative
agreement activities. Programs report
information such as progress to date on
accomplishing intended objectives,
programmatic changes, changes to
staffing or management, and budgetary
information. Regularly reporting this
information is a requirement of the cooperative agreement mechanism utilized
to fund state asthma control programs.
Information in this section will be
consistent with previous reporting by
states through Grants.gov. States will be
required to submit interim (semiannual) and year-end progress report
information into AIRS, thus this type of
National and state asthma
surveillance data provide information
useful to examining progress on longterm outcomes of state asthma
programs. To identify appropriate
indicators of program implementation
and short-term outcomes, CDC
convened and facilitated workgroups
comprised of state asthma control
program representatives over the course
of two years. In collaboration with these
workgroups, the CDC generated specific
questions (qualitative and quantitative
in nature) intended to collect data on
key features of state asthma control
programs: Partnerships, surveillance,
interventions, and evaluation. States
will be asked to provide answers to
these questions once per year in
conjunction with the end of year
reporting of activities and objectives,
described above. These data will be
used to foster a continuous learning
environment about what is working in
state asthma programs and to identify
potential areas for improvement.
There will be no cost for grantees to
participate in AIRS.
programmatic information on activities
and objectives will be collected twice
per year (interim report and end-of-year
report).
The National Asthma Control Program
at CDC has access to and analyzes
national-level asthma surveillance data
(https://www.cdc.gov/asthma/
asthmadata.htm). With the exception of
data from the Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System (BRFSS), analyses
cannot be conducted at the level of the
state. Therefore, as part of AIRS, state
asthma control programs will be asked
to submit aggregate surveillance data to
allow calculation of state asthma
surveillance indicators across all funded
states (where data is available) in a
standardized manner. Data likely to be
requested through this system include:
Hospital discharges (with asthma as first
listed diagnosis), and emergency
department visits (with asthma as first
listed diagnosis). States will be required
to submit this information into AIRS
once per year, in conjunction with the
end of year reporting of activities and
objectives, described above.

Proposed Project
Calibration of the Short Strengths and
Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) in the
National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS)—New—National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States. Section 520 [42
U.S.C. 290bb-31] of the Public Health

Service Act, establishes the Center for
Mental Health Services (CMHS),
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA),
and authorizes the CMHS to conduct
surveys with respect to mental health.
To monitor the prevalence of children
and youth with mental health problems,
CMHS and the National Institute of
Mental Health (NIMH), through a
reimbursable agreement with the NCHS
have funded questions on children’s
mental health on the National Health
Interview Survey (NHIS).
One component of the NHIS is the
short Strengths and Difficulties
Questionnaire (short SDQ), a module
that has obtained data on the mental
health of children aged 4–17 years since
2001. As part of its mission, CMHS has
undertaken the task of improving its
methods for providing national
suitable control group of parents and
children. One part of this voluntary
study will investigate the use of
incentives which may be paid to all
parents, and another incentive may be
paid to all parents who complete the
clinical interview. A 24 month
clearance is being sought to conduct this
study.
Data collected in the follow-up
interviews will then be used to calibrate
the short SDQ as it is used in the NHIS.
Data will not be used to produce
national estimates.
This study includes a pilot study of
36 children and 50 parents to test the
procedures and methods, including the
necessity of an incentive, followed by a
full survey of approximately 400 parents
and 300 children.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
estimates related to child mental health,
specifically by conducting studies that
determine validity and appropriate cutpoints for measuring serious
psychological distress in adults. To
ensure that the short SDQ is a valid
measure of child mental health, the
proposed study calibrates the SDQ on
the NHIS to a standard psychiatric
measure. Highly trained clinical
interviewers will administer, via
telephone, the Child and Adolescent
Psychiatric Assessment (CAPA) or the
Pre-School Age Psychiatric Assessment
(PAPA) to the parents of a sample of
children aged 4–17 years identified in
the NHIS as having mental health
problems. Children aged 9–17 will also
be interviewed using Child and
Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment
(CAPA). Clinical interviewers will also
administer these assessments to a
