Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations, 78996-78997 [2010-31674]

Download as PDF 78996 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 242 / Friday, December 17, 2010 / Notices process paper records. The application process includes the following: Submission of responses to the questions in the online application; submission of academic transcripts and letters of recommendation; a review by selected programmatic staff and panel member experts; selection of qualified candidates for interview; interview of candidates; and selection of trainees for the fellowship programs. The online application questions ask for academic history, professional experience, names of references, and description of professional goals. The application questions and data collected are necessary to the application process to determine programmatic eligibility and to ensure that the most highly qualified candidates are chosen for the training programs. The alumni directory will allow CDC to maintain a current, centralized electronic database. Questions include updates to include email and other contact information, professional responsibilities, medical certifications, qualifications, and scientific skills in the event that it becomes necessary to contact alumni possessing missioncritical skills to meet a national public health emergency or an urgent public health need. Alumni data will also be used by CDC to document the impact of the fellowships on the career paths of participants, and thus, on the science and practice of public health, and by the alumni for maintaining their professional networks for finding jobs, staffing jobs, collaborating, and interacting with their fellow alumni. Alumni will have two options for the level of information they wish to be visible to other alumni of their fellowship. They will have the option of displaying only their name, fellowship year, and professional information or all of their information. The default is to display only their name, fellowship year, and professional information. This information is already in the public domain. The annual burden table has been updated to reflect an increase in the number of fellowships participating in FMS. The estimated annualized burden for all nine fellowship applications is 748 hours (1,122 respondents × 40 minutes for completing the application), and the estimated annualized burden for all twelve directories is 114 hours (454 respondents × 15 minutes for updating their information). Note: Some alumni are deceased or cannot be located. Response burden assumes response from an individual responding alumnus, on average, every 3 years (which is likely an overestimate of frequency). There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 862.

Background and Brief Description Among the goals of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is to reduce the prevalence of violence among youth. Several important priorities included in the Center’s published research agenda focus on studying how physical environments influence behavior and risk for violence. The CDC has developed an observational tool called the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) School Assessment (CSA) to assess the extent to which the physical characteristics of schools are consistent with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. The proposed research will allow an assessment of the validity of the CSA by examining the extent to which the CSA subscales, total CSA scores, and CPTED principles are related to fear and violence, and related variables.

If we produce practical support for the assessment of these ‘‘CPTED variables,’’ then we will also assess validity by determining whether these variables are logically related to our measures of fear, violence and climate in schools. Survey data from 75 students (25 each from 6th, 7th, and 8th grades) per school site will be collected from 50 middle schools selected and recruited from 13 school districts in the metro-Atlanta, Georgia area (approximately 3,750 total student participants), in addition to the observational (CSA) data collection. The student survey will assess variables such as school climate, and actual and perceived levels of school violence at each school. In addition, archival/ administrative data will be collected from each of the 50 schools on a School Site Data Form providing information on neighborhood and school characteristics from various sources (e.g., school site information reported by the school administrator, school district data available on the Web, U.S. Census data, and school disciplinary records).

Proposed Project

    Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design: Linking Observed 
School Environments With Student and School-Wide Experiences of 
Violence and Fear--New--Division of Violence Prevention (DVP), National 
Center for Injury Prevention (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Among the goals of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC), National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is to 
reduce the prevalence of violence among youth. Several important 
priorities included in the Center's published research agenda focus on 
studying how physical environments influence behavior and risk for 
violence. The CDC has developed an observational tool called the Crime 
Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) School Assessment (CSA) 
to assess the extent to which the physical characteristics of schools 
are consistent with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design 
(CPTED) principles. The proposed research will allow an assessment of 
the validity of the CSA by examining the extent to which the CSA 
subscales, total CSA scores, and CPTED principles are related to fear 
and violence, and related variables. If the CSA tool is shown to 
measure characteristics of the school environment that are associated 
with fear and violence-related behaviors in

[[Page 78997]]

school, then it may be used as the basis for research, design, and 
evaluation of interventions for schools seeking to prevent or reduce 
the occurrence of crime and violence by providing information related 
to (re)designing physical features of the environment and changing 
policies and procedures related to using the school environment.
    In addition, an exploratory purpose of this research is to 
determine whether the CSA items can be divided reliably into supposedly 
distinct variables reflecting each of the CPTED principles. If we 
produce practical support for the assessment of these ``CPTED 
variables,'' then we will also assess validity by determining whether 
these variables are logically related to our measures of fear, violence 
and climate in schools.
    Survey data from 75 students (25 each from 6th, 7th, and 8th 
grades) per school site will be collected from 50 middle schools 
selected and recruited from 13 school districts in the metro-Atlanta, 
Georgia area (approximately 3,750 total student participants), in 
addition to the observational (CSA) data collection. The student survey 
will assess variables such as school climate, and actual and perceived 
levels of school violence at each school. In addition, archival/
administrative data will be collected from each of the 50 schools on a 
School Site Data Form providing information on neighborhood and school 
characteristics from various sources (e.g., school site information 
reported by the school administrator, school district data available on 
the Web, U.S. Census data, and school disciplinary records). There are 
no costs to respondents other than their time.
