Proposed Project
The National Electronic Disease
Surveillance System (NEDSS) (OMB
Number 0920–0728 exp. 2/28/2011)—
Extension—National Center for Public
Health Informatics (NCPHI), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is responsible for the
dissemination of nationally notifiable
diseases information and for monitoring
and reporting the impact of epidemic
influenza on mortality, Public Health
Services Act (42 U.S.C. 241). Since
April 1984, CDC National Center for
Public Health Informatics Epidemiology
Program Office (EPO) began working
with the Council of State and Territorial
Epidemiologists (CSTE) to demonstrate
the efficiency and effectiveness of
computer transmission of surveillance
data between CDC and the State health
departments.
By 1989, all 50 States were using this
computerized disease surveillance
system, which was then renamed the
National Electronic
Telecommunications System for
Surveillance (NETSS) to reflect its
national scope (OMB numbers 0920–
0447 and 0920–0007).
Beginning in 1999, CDC,
Epidemiology Program Office (EPO)
worked with CSTE, State and local
public health system staff, and other
CDC disease prevention and control
program staff to identify information
categories and information technology
standards to support integrated disease
surveillance. That effort is now focused
on development and completion of the
National Electronic Disease Surveillance
System (NEDSS), coordinated by CDC’s
National Center for Public Health
Informatics, Division of Integrated
Surveillance Systems and Services
(DISSS).
States will continue to use portions of
NETSS to transmit data to CDC. One of
the reasons for providing NETSS to
NEDSS data mapping is to identify what
data elements in NETSS correspond to
data elements in NEDSS. Those
elements mapped from NETSS to
NEDSS were collected in OMB number
0920–0007.
NEDSS will electronically integrate
and link together a wide variety of
surveillance activities and will facilitate
more accurate and timely reporting of
disease information to CDC and State
and local health departments.
Consistent with recommendations
supported by our State and local
surveillance partners and described in
the 1995 report, Integrating Public
Health Information and Surveillance
Systems, NEDSS includes data
standards, an Internet based
communications infrastructure built on
industry standards, and policy-level
agreements on data access, sharing,
burden reduction, and protection of
confidentiality.
To support NEDSS, CDC has
developed an information system, the
NEDSS Base System (NBS), which uses
NEDSS technical and information
standards. The NBS is currently
deployed to 16 States, including AL,
AR, ID, MD, ME, MT, NE, NM, NV, RI,
SC, TN, TX, VA, VT, and WY.
CDC is requesting a three-year OMB
clearance extension of collecting the
NEDSS data. The table below outlines
the annualized burden which consists of
two components. The first component is
‘‘weekly reporting’’ (52 weeks annually).
The second component is an end of year
report titled ‘‘annual reporting’’. The two
components collectively represent the
estimated annualized hours for the
submitting jurisdictions.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours for the
Weekly Morbidity Reports and the
Annual Summary Report is 9,384.

Proposed Project: 2011 National Survey
on Drug Use and Health (OMB No.
0930–0110)—Revision
The National Survey on Drug Use and
Health (NSDUH), formerly the National
Household Survey on Drug Abuse
(NHSDA) is a survey of the civilian,
non-institutionalized population of the
United States 12 years old and older.
The survey is used to determine the
prevalence of use of tobacco products,
alcohol, illicit substances, and illicit use
of prescription drugs. The survey is also
used to collect information on mental
health problems and the utilization of
substance abuse and mental health
services. The results are used by
SAMHSA, ONDCP, Federal government
agencies, and other organizations and
researchers to establish policy, direct
program activities, and better allocate
resources.
The 2011 NSDUH will continue
conducting a follow-up clinical
interview with a subsample of
approximately 1,500 respondents. The
design of this study is based on the
recommendations from a panel of expert
consultants convened by the Center for
Mental Health Services (CMHS),
SAMHSA, to discuss mental health
surveillance data collection strategies.
The goal is to create a statistically sound
measure that may be used to estimate
the prevalence of Serious Mental Illness
(SMI) among adults (age 18+).
For the 2011 NSDUH, no
questionnaire changes are proposed.
As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys
conducted since 1999, the sample size
of the survey for 2011 will be sufficient
to permit prevalence estimates for each
of the fifty states and the District of
Columbia.
Because the NSDUH collects data on
substance use, mental health and the
utilization of substance abuse and
mental health services, it is an
appropriate and convenient vehicle to
measure the impact of the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill on residents of that
region. Therefore, SAMHSA is planning
to expand the NSDUH by oversampling
the geographic region impacted by the
oil spill. The current NSDUH sample
design will be implemented and an
oversampling method that results in an
additional 2,000 completed interviews
in the gulf coast region will be
employed. The additional interviews
will be concentrated in the coastal
counties of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana,
and Mississippi. All survey instruments
and protocols will be identical for this
additional sample. The total number of
respondents for the 2011 NSDUH will
be 69,500, or 2,000 cases more than the
planned sample size for 2010.
Though there will be some increase in
the sample for all four states involved in
the Deepwater Horizon event (Alabama,
Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi),
specific counties in the gulf coast region
were chosen for focused oversampling.
These counties were chosen based on
the following criteria:
• Claims activity to BP for economic
and related health needs;
Responses

respondents

Hours per

• County involvement with
Department of Education and

applications.
