Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the 11,447 not found evidence for the effectiveness of screening to improve outcomes for women exposed to IPV. Based on the recommendations of an expert panel convened, CDC is proposing to conduct a randomized controlled trial to provide this evidence. The trial will recruit 2675 women in a network of women’s health clinics. Women attending these clinics tend to be African American and of lower socioeconomic status. For this study, women will be randomly allocated to one of three arms: (1) Screened for IPV, and if disclosing IPV, provided information on available IPV services; (2) not screened and all receiving information on available IPV services; or (3) a control group that will not be screened nor receive information on available IPV services. All three arms will be assessed with a self-report measure for disability, quality of life, and utilization of health services at baseline utilizing an audio-computerassisted structured interview (A–CASI) and at a 12-month follow-up utilizing a computerized-assisted telephone interview (CATI). The results from this Randomized Controlled Trial, will guide CDC as well as other governmental agencies, professional and health care organizations, and women’s advocate groups in formulating its recommendations and policies regarding routine screening. A pretest with 196 women in a women’s health clinic was conducted to test the enrollment, randomization, interview, and follow-up procedures; and provide estimates for outcome measures. Based on the results of the pretest, CDC has revised the measures, procedures, and sample size requirements for the Randomized Controlled Trial. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate in the survey. Randomized Controlled Trial of Routine Screening for Intimate Partner Violence (OMB No. 0920–0761 Exp. 1/ 31/2011)—Revision—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Total burden hours Background and Brief Description Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a prevalent problem with serious health consequences that include death, physical injury, increased rates of physical illness, posttraumatic stress, increased psychological distress, depression, substance abuse, and suicide. Some studies suggest that abuse perpetrated by intimate partners tends to be repetitive and escalates in severity over time. This research has been the basis for promoting early diagnosis and intervention. Health care providers appear to be well situated to identify IPV. Women come into contact with health care services routinely for a number of reasons such as prenatal care, family planning, cancer screening, and well baby care. Women experiencing IPV make more visits to emergency departments, primary care facilities, and mental health agencies than non-abused women. Considering the magnitude and severity of IPV, and the potential role health care providers could play in reducing its serious consequences, numerous professional and health care organizations have recommended routine screening of women for IPV in primary care settings.

Background and Brief Description DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES VerDate Nov<24>2008 Proposed Project Executive Order 12862 directs Federal agencies that provide significant services directly to the public to survey customers to determine the kind and quality of services they need and their level of satisfaction with existing services. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks approval to conduct usability surveys on CDC Web sites, social media, mobilebased or other electronic communication channels hosting CDC content on an ongoing basis. It is important for CDC to ensure that health information, interventions, and programs at CDC are based on sound science, objectivity, and continuous customer input. The CDC Web sites, social media, mobile-based or other electronic communication channels hosting CDC content must be designed to be easy to use, easy to access, and effective providers of health information and resources to our target audiences. CDC is requesting renewal of our existing 3-year generic clearance, with revisions, in order to carry out its mission. This revised proposal requests clearance for usability surveys on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Web site and, in addition, social media, mobile-based or other electronic communication channels hosting CDC content. With the previous Usability Evaluation package, various groups around the agency were able to conduct useful surveys assessing the usability of a variety of CDC Web sites. These surveys covered important CDC programs and topics, such as Seasonal Flu, Tuberculosis, HIV, STDs, and Chronic Diseases. The CDC.gov Homepage and other CDC Web sites were redesigned based on usability surveys conducted within this package PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and the resulting designs improved performance for Web site users and won numerous awards, both within and outside of, the Federal government space. The next step is to continue usability surveys on more Web sites, staying abreast of changes in target audience needs and online behavior as well as survey users of CDC social media, mobile-based or other electronic communication channels hosting CDC content that currently exist or will emerge during the life of this package. CDC is currently using mobile Web sites, text messaging, online quizzes, widgets, podcasts, eCards, online video, motion graphics, blogs, syndicated content, and other communication channels and will continue to explore other channels which provide CDC content to target audiences when, where, and how they want and need it. As new channels emerge, CDC will explore using them to deliver its content. Usability surveys determine how well CDC’s Web site, social media, mobilebased or other electronic communication channels hosting CDC content are performing. Observation and data collection on how users interact with the Web site or other electronic communication channels hosting CDC content are critical in ensuring that users can find information, that the Web site or other electronic communication channels are easy to use and designed to meet the needs of specific audiences. This package requests clearance for two types of surveys: Remote or in person. Remote surveys will collect data about how participants interact with CDC’s Web site, social media, mobile-based or other electronic communication channels hosting CDC content. Users will take the survey at their home or work computers. In person surveys will have participants take the survey in a central location where their data can be captured electronically, as with the remote survey, but also the participants can be directly observed. The direct observation of in person surveys allows for enhanced collection of information E:\FR\FM\17DEN1.SGM 17DEN1

Proposed Project

    Randomized Controlled Trial of Routine Screening for Intimate 
Partner Violence (OMB No. 0920-0761 Exp. 1/31/2011)--Revision--National 
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a prevalent problem with serious 
health consequences that include death, physical injury, increased 
rates of physical illness, posttraumatic stress, increased 
psychological distress, depression, substance abuse, and suicide. Some 
studies suggest that abuse perpetrated by intimate partners tends to be 
repetitive and escalates in severity over time. This research has been 
the basis for promoting early diagnosis and intervention.
    Health care providers appear to be well situated to identify IPV. 
Women come into contact with health care services routinely for a 
number of reasons such as prenatal care, family planning, cancer 
screening, and well baby care. Women experiencing IPV make more visits 
to emergency departments, primary care facilities, and mental health 
agencies than non-abused women. Considering the magnitude and severity 
of IPV, and the potential role health care providers could play in 
reducing its serious consequences, numerous professional and health 
care organizations have recommended routine screening of women for IPV 
in primary care settings. However, various systematic reviews of the 
literature have not found evidence for the effectiveness of screening 
to improve outcomes for women exposed to IPV.
    Based on the recommendations of an expert panel convened, CDC is 
proposing to conduct a randomized controlled trial to provide this 
evidence. The trial will recruit 2675 women in a network of women's 
health clinics. Women attending these clinics tend to be African 
American and of lower socioeconomic status. For this study, women will 
be randomly allocated to one of three arms: (1) Screened for IPV, and 
if disclosing IPV, provided information on available IPV services; (2) 
not screened and all receiving information on available IPV services; 
or (3) a control group that will not be screened nor receive 
information on available IPV services. All three arms will be assessed 
with a self-report measure for disability, quality of life, and 
utilization of health services at baseline utilizing an audio-computer-
assisted structured interview (A-CASI) and at a 12-month follow-up 
utilizing a computerized-assisted telephone interview (CATI). The 
results from this Randomized Controlled Trial, will guide CDC as well 
as other governmental agencies, professional and health care 
organizations, and women's advocate groups in formulating its 
recommendations and policies regarding routine screening. A pretest 
with 196 women in a women's health clinic was conducted to test the 
enrollment, randomization, interview, and follow-up procedures; and 
provide estimates for outcome measures. Based on the results of the 
pretest, CDC has revised the measures, procedures, and sample size 
requirements for the Randomized Controlled Trial. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time to participate in the survey.
