Although a system was put in place
to track school closures in conjunction
with the Department of Education (ED),
no formal monitoring system was
established, making it difficult to
monitor reports of school dismissal and
to gauge the impact of the outbreak.
CDC has recently issued guidance for
school closure for the 2009–2010 school
year. To address the need to monitor
reports of school closure, CDC and ED
have established a School Dismissal
Monitoring System to report on novel
influenza A (H1N1)-related school or
school district dismissals in the United
States. Although the School Dismissal
Monitoring System is currently
approved to collect data under OMB
Control Number 0920–0008, Emergency
Epidemic Investigations, CDC would
like to continue the data collection long
term. Thus, CDC is requesting a separate
OMB Control Number for this data
collection.
The purpose of the School Dismissal
Monitoring System is to generate
accurate, real-time, national summary
data daily on the number of school
dismissals and the number of students
and teachers impacted by the school
dismissals. CDC will use the summary
data to fully understand how schools
are responding to CDC community
mitigation guidance among schools,
students, household contacts and for
overall awareness of the impact of
influenza outbreaks on school systems
and communities.
Respondents are schools, school
districts, and local public health
agencies. Respondents will use a
common reporting form to submit data
to CDC. The reporting form includes the
following data elements: Name of school
district; zip code of school district; date
the school or school district was
dismissed; and the date school or school
district is projected to reopen. Optional
data elements include: name of person
submitting information; the
organization/agency; phone number of
the organization/agency; and e-mail
address. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to complete the
data collection. The total annualized
burden for this information collection
request is 42 hours.

Proposed Project
School Dismissal Monitoring
System—New—National Center for
Preparedness, Detection, and Control of
Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
During the spring 2009 H1N1
outbreak, the U.S. Department of
Education (ED) and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
received numerous daily requests about
the overall number of school dismissals
nationwide including the number of
students and teachers impacted by the
outbreak. Illness among school-aged
students (K–12) in many states and
cities resulted in at least 1351 school
dismissals due to rapidly increasing
absenteeism among students or staff that
impacted at least 824,966 students and
53,217 teachers.

Proposed Project
National Quitline Data Warehouse —
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description:
Despite the high level of public
knowledge about the adverse effects of
smoking, tobacco use remains the
leading preventable cause of disease and

death in the United States. Tobacco use
results in approximately 440,000 deaths
annually, including approximately
38,000 deaths from secondhand smoke
exposure. Adults who smoke contribute
to $92 billion annually in lost worker
productivity, and die an average of 14
years earlier than nonsmokers. Although
the prevalence of current smoking
among adults decreased significantly
since its peak in the 1960s, overall
smoking prevalence among U.S. adults
has remained virtually unchanged
during the past five years. Large
disparities in smoking prevalence
continue to exist among members of
racial/ethnic minority groups and
individuals of low socioeconomic
status.
The National Tobacco Control
Program (NTCP) was established by
CDC to help reduce tobacco-related
disease, disability, and death. The
NTCP’s four goal areas are: (1) The
prevention of initiation of tobacco use
among young people, (2) the elimination
of nonsmokers’ exposure to secondhand
smoke, (3) the promotion of quitting
among adults and young people, and (4)
the elimination of tobacco-related
disparities. The NTCP has provided
funding for State quitlines, which
provide telephone-based tobacco
cessation services—including
individualized counseling and self-help
material—to help tobacco users quit.
Quitlines overcome many of the barriers
to tobacco cessation classes and
traditional clinics because they are free
and available at the caller’s
convenience. Quitline services in all
States can be accessed through a tollfree national portal number at 1–800–
QUIT–NOW. According to CDC’s Best
Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco
Control, approximately six to eight
percent of tobacco users potentially can
be reached successfully by quitlines;
however, currently, only one to two
percent of tobacco users contact
quitlines.
All States collect intake information
about quitline callers and the services
provided to them, but have varied with
respect to the schedule for follow-up
with callers, the number of follow-up
attempts per caller, and the collection of
information related to follow-up. With
leadership from the North American
Quitline Consortium (NAQC) and other
tobacco control organizations, the field
has collaborated to develop a Minimum
Data Set (MDS) consisting of a set of
suggested intake questions that should
be asked of all callers, and follow-up
questions that should be asked of a
PO 00000
Frm 00076

representative sample of callers who
have both completed intake and
received a quitline service.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect
information for a National Quitline Data
Warehouse (NDQW) based on a uniform
follow-up protocol and standardized
instruments adapted from the MDS.
Respondents will be the 50 States, the
District of Columbia, and Guam.
Additional funding for the expansion of
tobacco quitline services,
standardization of the information
collection, and transmission to the
shared NQDW is provided under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA).
Intake information will be collected
from approximately 60,833 callers per
month over a 24-month period. Minimal
information will be collected from
callers who contact the Quitline on
behalf of another person. The
information collection will also include
seven-month follow-up data from a
random sample of approximately 3,400
callers per month across all States,
beginning in month eight (i.e., seven full
months after the first intakes) and
continuing through month 24. Finally,
the Tobacco Control Manager for each
ARRA awardee (State, district or
territory) will be required to submit a
quarterly report describing services
provided. The quarterly report will be
used to quantify improvements in the
capacity of the quitlines to assist
tobacco users over time and to evaluate
the expenditure of Recovery Act dollars.
The NQDW will have significant
implications for the development of
policies and programs aimed at tobacco
use cessation and reduction of tobacco
use. The information to be collected in
the NQDW will be used to determine
the role quitlines are playing in
promoting tobacco use cessation,
measure the number of tobacco users
being served by State Quitlines,
determine reach of quitlines to high-risk
populations (e.g., racial and ethnic
minorities and the medically
underserved), measure the number
using each State quitline who quit,
determine whether some combinations
of services contribute to higher quit
rates than others, and improve the
timeliness, access to, and quality of data
collected by quitlines.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect
information for a two-year period. All
information will be collected
electronically. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
