Proposed Project Hemophilia and AIDS/HIV Network for the Dissemination of Information (HANDI) Evaluation Support—New— National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Division of Blood Disorders, located within the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, implements health promotion and wellness programs designed to prevent secondary conditions in people with bleeding and clotting disorders. These programs are carried out in partnership with community-based organizations on the national and local level. The division’s largest and longest standing cooperative agreement is held by the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF). NHF, founded in 1948, has a long history of service through education, advocacy and research for people and families with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. The Hemophilia and AIDS/HIV Network for the Dissemination of Information (HANDI) is NHF’s resource center which provides information, materials, and support to people with bleeding and clotting disorders. Over the past 17 years, HANDI’s resource collection has grown to meet the changing needs of the community. HANDI processes thousands of requests for information from a wide variety of individuals and organizations including NHF chapters, medical professionals, consumers and their families, and teachers and students conducting research. The type of information requested reflects a diversity of needs. Topics include homecare, orthopedics, physical therapy, rare factor deficiencies, psychosocial issues, blood safety, women’s health, and financial and insurance reimbursement issues. HANDI’s current resource library collection contains nearly 13,000 items. However, the process by which materials have been selected for development has not been informed by a systematic needs assessment or other exploratory research. Therefore, it is not known if the materials and messages that have been developed are meeting the information needs of the audiences they were intended to serve. While there seems to be many HANDI materials available that focus on parents and family members of newly diagnosed children, considerably less attention has been given to developing materials for young children and adolescents, particularly materials that address transition issues. There are many types of transitions for the person with a bleeding disorder. These include acceptance of the bleeding disorder, self care, progressing through school, vocational/career planning, moving to an adult center, starting a family, middle age, and retirement. Transition occurs throughout life for all people, but for those with chronic illness, it takes on additional significance due to the nature of their condition. The CDC’s Division of Blood Disorders in conjunction with the National Hemophilia Foundation will conduct focus groups to gather information that will be used to design educational materials and health promotion programs for young children (aged 5–12 years) and adolescents (aged 16–19 years) that address transition issues. The groups will also be used to explore how young children and adolescents prefer to receive health messages and health information (e.g., brochures, videos, podcasts, YouTube.com, etc.). These findings will inform the development of key messages tailored to the target audiences. The contractor selected will work with CDC and NHF, through its chapter network, to identify and recruit focus group participants. Formative research participants will include (1) parents of young children (aged 5–12 years) or young adults who can reflect back upon their experience and share what information, resources, and support they wished had been available when their child was young, and (2)adolescents (aged 16–19 years). Participants will include (1) parents of young children (aged 5–12 years) and (2) adolescents (aged 16–19 years). Participants will be recruited to participate in one of twelve in-person focus groups that will be conducted in the following cities: Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Denver.

Background and Brief Description The mission of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is to promote safety and health at work for all people through research and prevention. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, Public Law 91–596 (Section 20[a][1]) authorizes NIOSH to conduct research to advance the health and safety of workers. In this capacity, NIOSH will conduct a national survey of long-haul truck drivers. Truck drivers are at increased risk for numerous preventable diseases and health conditions; previous research suggests that truck drivers are at increased risk for lower back pain, heart disease, hypertension, stomach ulcers, VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:09 Apr 26, 2010 Jkt 220001 and cancers of the bladder, lung, prostate, and stomach. Truck drivers also face extraordinary risk of on-the-job mortality. In 2007, the fatality rate for ‘‘driver/sales workers and truck drivers’’ was 28.2 per 100,000 workers, compared with a rate of 3.8 per 100,000 for all workers. Drivers of heavy and tractor-trailer trucks had more fatal work injuries than any other single occupation (822 deaths in 2007). Truck drivers experience high rates of occupational injury and illness, but little is known about the prevalence of factors suspected to place them at increased risk. Information is needed on the role of occupation in driver health and on mechanisms of driver injuries. In evaluating the potential health effects of the 2005 hours-of-service ruling, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration stated that due to a lack of evidence specific to trucking operations, information from different fields had to be adapted to a trucking environment. Research needs cited by stakeholders include detailed data on the prevalence of selected health conditions and risk factors among truck drivers, and data on working conditions, injury causes and outcomes, and health behaviors. NIOSH has obtained input on plans for this survey through stakeholder meetings, a webinar, an Internet blog, and from comments received through NIOSH Docket 110 and during a focus group discussion with 7 truck drivers. The survey instrument has been reviewed by 6 subject matter experts and 9 cognitive interviews have been conducted using the survey instrument. Input received was used to guide development of the survey instrument and plans for survey implementation. Subjective data on understanding and phrasing of questions were collected during the focus group discussion and cognitive interviews. The proposed national survey will be based upon a probability sample of truck stops. The survey will be conducted at locations along freight corridors in 5 geographic regions (Northeast, South, Great Lakes, Central, and West). The number of locations to be visited within each region will be related to the traffic load in that region. Eligible truck drivers stopping at PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 selected truck stops will provide all survey data. The major objectives of the survey will be to: (1) Determine the prevalence of selected health conditions and risk factors; (2) characterize drivers’ working conditions, occupational injuries, and health behaviors; (3) explore the associations among health status, individual risk factors, occupational injuries and occupational exposures related to work organization. The survey will eliminate significant gaps in occupational safety and health data for long-haul truck drivers. The results will assist regulatory agencies in focusing rulemaking, furnish industry and labor with safety and health information needed by their constituents, and stimulate future research and advocacy to benefit truck drivers. The target population of drivers for this survey will be limited to drivers who: Have truck driving as their main job; drive a truck with 3 or more axles (requiring the driver to have a commercial driver’s license); have been a heavy truck driver 12 months or longer; and who usually take at least one mandatory 10-hour rest period away from home during each delivery run. The study instrument will be interviewer-administered to 2,457 eligible truck drivers at 50 truck stops. Individuals will first be asked a series of questions to determine if they are eligible to participate in the survey, followed by administration of the main interview. Individuals who do not wish to participate in the main interview will be given a short non-respondent interview. Respondents will not be asked to report names or any other identifying information. The project supports the NIOSH surveillance function to advance the usefulness of surveillance information for the prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and hazards, and actively promote the dissemination and use of NIOSH surveillance data and information. This survey will allow NIOSH to explore the inter-relationships among dimensions of health status, individual risk factors, occupational injuries, sleep disorders, and occupational exposures. It will also provide detailed demographic data on long-haul truck drivers, which have not E:\FR\FM\27APN1.SGM 27APN1
