Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Women’s Health Initiative
Observational Study
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute (NHLBI), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish
periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection
Title: The Women’s Health Initiative
(WHI) Observational Study. Type of
Information Collection Request:
Revision OMB #0925–0414. Need and
Use of Information Collection: This
study will be used by the NIH to
evaluate risk factors for chronic disease
among older women by developing and
following a large cohort of
postmenopausal women and relating
subsequent disease development to
baseline assessments of historical,
physical, psychosocial, and physiologic
characteristics. In addition, the
observational study will complement
the clinical trial (which has received
clinical exemption) and provide
additional information on the common
causes of frailty, disability and death for
postmenopausal women, namely,
coronary heart disease, breast and
colorectal cancer, and osteoporotic
fractures. Continuation of follow-up for
ascertainment of medical history update
forms will provide essential data for
outcomes assessment for this population
of aging women. Frequency of Response:
Annually. Affected Public: Individuals
or households and health care
providers. Type of Respondents:
Women, next-of-kin, and physician’s
office staff. The annual reporting burden
is as follows:

hour and physician time at the rate of
$50 per hour. There are no Capital Costs
to report. There are no Operating or
Maintenance Costs to report.
Request for Comments: Written
comments and/or suggestions from the
