Proposed Project
Asthma Information Reporting System
(AIRS)—New—Air Pollution and
Respiratory Health Branch (APRHB),
National Center for Environmental
Health (NCEH, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)).
Background and Brief Description
In 1999, the CDC began developing its
National Asthma Control Program, a
population-based, public health
approach to addressing the burden of
asthma. The program supports the goals
and objectives of ‘‘Healthy People 2010’’
for asthma and is based on the public
health principles of surveillance,
partnerships, and interventions. This
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
data collection request will provide
NCEH with routine information,
through a semi-annual Management
Information System, AIRS, about the
activities and performance of the state
and territorial grantees funded under
the National Asthma Control Program.
The primary purpose of the National
Asthma Control Program is to develop
program capacity to address asthma
from a public health perspective to
bring about: (1) A focus on asthmarelated activity within states; (2) an
increased understanding of asthmarelated data and its application to
program planning and evaluation
through the development and
maintenance of an ongoing asthma
surveillance system; (3) an increased
recognition, within the public health
structure of states, of the potential to use
a public health approach to reduce the
burden of asthma; (4) linkages of state
health agencies to other agencies and
organizations addressing asthma in the
population; and (5) implementation of
interventions to achieve positive health
impacts, such as reducing the number of
deaths, hospitalizations, emergency
department visits, school or work days
missed, and limitations on activity due
to asthma.
The proposed AIRS management
information system will be comprised of
multiple components that enable the
electronic reporting of three types of
E:\FR\FM\11SEN1.SGM
11SEN1
46778
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 175 / Friday, September 11, 2009 / Notices
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.
