Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approve the proposed
information collection project:
‘‘Understanding Patients’ Knowledge
and Use of Acetaminophen—Phase 2.’’
In accordance with the Paperwork

AHRQ invites the public to comment on
this proposed information collection.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by October 29, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Understanding Patients’ Knowledge and
Use of Acetaminophen—Phase 2
AHRQ proposes a cross-sectional
prospective survey to identify issues
that relate to the misuse and overdosing
of over-the-counter (OTC)
acetaminophen. The survey was
developed based on results from a
previous data collection (OMB control
number 0935–0154, approved on 10/13/
2009). Acetaminophen is the most
widely used analgesic and antipyretic
drug in the U.S. When appropriately
used, it is a very safe agent. However,
a single large overdose, or several
supratherapeutic dosages in a short
period of time, has been associated with
acute liver failure, which can occur with
dosages over 250 mg/kg over a 24-hour
period, or > 12 g in an adult. Toxicity
from acetaminophen has been on the
rise in the past 3 decades, and is now
the most common cause of acute liver
failure in the U.S., surpassing viral
hepatitis.
This project has the following aims:
(1) To estimate frequency of use,
knowledge, and practices regarding use
of OTC acetaminophen, and
(2) To evaluate potential determinants
of misuse in community-based samples.
This information will be useful for
policy makers to consider and to
evaluate regulations and legislation with
respect to the distribution, dispensing
and sales of OTC acetaminophen.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, the
University of Texas. This project
supports AHRQ’s Centers for Education
and Research on Therapeutics initiative
to promote the safe and effective use of
therapeutics. See 42 U.S.C. 299b–1(b). It
also supports AHRQ’s mandate for the
inclusion of priority populations. See 42
U.S.C. 299(c).
Method of Collection
To achieve the projects’ aims the
following data collections will be
implemented:
(1) Surveys with parents of young
children (age < 8 years). The purpose of
this survey is to learn how parents
administer acetaminophen to their
children and to identify determinants of
misuse of acetaminophen;
(2) Surveys with adolescents (ages 13
to 20). The purpose of this survey is to
learn how adolescents use
acetaminophen and to identify
determinants of misuse of
acetaminophen;
(3) Surveys with adults (21 to 65 years
of age). The purpose of this survey is to
learn how adults use acetaminophen
and to identify determinants of misuse
of acetaminophen;
(4) Surveys with adults (greater than
65 years of age). The purpose of this
survey is to learn how older adults use
acetaminophen and to identify
determinants of misuse of
acetaminophen, particularly in regards
to age-related factors.
Data will be collected in person using
paper questionnaires administered by
the project personnel.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondent’s time to participate in this
project. Each of the four questionnaires
used in the planned face-to-face surveys
will require approximately 30 minutes
to complete. The total annualized
burden for all participants is estimated
to be 400 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden for the
respondent’s time to participate in the
project. The total annualized cost
burden is estimated to be $8,361.

Background and Brief Description
CDC currently supports the National
Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), a
group of central cancer registries in 45
states, the District of Columbia, and 2
territories. The central cancer registries
are data systems that collect, manage,
and analyze data about cancer cases and
cancer deaths. NPCR-funded central
cancer registries submit populationbased cancer incidence data to CDC on
an annual basis (OMB No. 0920–0469,
exp. 11/30/2012).
Central cancer registries report that
they are chronically understaffed, and
many registries are concerned about the
impact of staff shortages on data quality.
Staffing patterns are known to vary
widely from registry to registry, and
registries differ in the volume of cases
that they process as well as their use of
information technology. Cancer
registries have asked for clear staffing
guidelines based on registry
characteristics such as size, degree of
automation, and reporting procedures.
CDC proposes to conduct a one-time
Workload and Time Management
(WLM) Survey to inform the
development of staffing guidelines for
central cancer registries. Respondents
will be 46 cancer registrars in the NPCRfunded central cancer registries in 45
states and the District of Columbia.
Participation will be requested by email. Non-responders will receive
follow-up telephone calls to encourage
participation.
The WLM survey includes basic
questions about registry characteristics
such as organizational affiliation and
number of staff. The WLM also includes

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Understanding Patients' Knowledge and Use of Acetaminophen--Phase 2
AHRQ proposes a cross-sectional prospective survey to identify
issues that relate to the misuse and overdosing of over-the-counter
(OTC) acetaminophen. The survey was developed based on results from a
previous data collection (OMB control number 0935-0154, approved on 10/
13/2009). Acetaminophen is the most widely used analgesic and
antipyretic drug in the U.S. When appropriately used, it is a very safe
agent. However, a single large overdose, or several supratherapeutic
dosages in a short period of time, has been associated with acute liver
failure, which can occur with dosages over 250 mg/kg over a 24-hour
period, or > 12 g in an adult. Toxicity from acetaminophen has been on
the rise in the past 3 decades, and is now the most common cause of
acute liver failure in the U.S., surpassing viral hepatitis.
This project has the following aims:
(1) To estimate frequency of use, knowledge, and practices
regarding use of OTC acetaminophen, and
(2) To evaluate potential determinants of misuse in community-based
samples.
This information will be useful for policy makers to consider and
to evaluate regulations and legislation with respect to the
distribution, dispensing and sales of OTC acetaminophen.
This study is being conducted by AHRQ through its contractor, the
University of Texas. This project supports AHRQ's Centers for Education
and Research on Therapeutics initiative to promote the safe and
effective use of therapeutics. See 42 U.S.C. 299b-1(b). It also
supports AHRQ's mandate for the inclusion of priority populations. See
42 U.S.C. 299(c).
Method of Collection
To achieve the projects' aims the following data collections will
be implemented:
(1) Surveys with parents of young children (age < 8 years). The
purpose of this survey is to learn how parents administer acetaminophen
to their children and to identify determinants of misuse of
acetaminophen;
(2) Surveys with adolescents (ages 13 to 20). The purpose of this
survey is to learn how adolescents use acetaminophen and to identify
determinants of misuse of acetaminophen;
(3) Surveys with adults (21 to 65 years of age). The purpose of
this survey is to learn how adults use acetaminophen and to identify
determinants of misuse of acetaminophen;
(4) Surveys with adults (greater than 65 years of age). The purpose
of this survey is to learn how older adults use acetaminophen and to
identify determinants of misuse of acetaminophen, particularly in
regards to age-related factors.
Data will be collected in person using paper questionnaires
administered by the project personnel.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated annualized burden hours for the
respondent's time to participate in this project. Each of the four
questionnaires used in the planned face-to-face surveys will require
approximately 30 minutes to complete. The total annualized burden for
all participants is estimated to be 400 hours.
