Agency Information Collection
Request; 60-Day Public Comment
Request
Office of the Secretary, HHS.
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Office of the Secretary (OS), Department
of Health and Human Services, is
publishing the following summary of a
proposed information collection request
for public comment. Interested persons
are invited to send comments regarding
this burden estimate or any other aspect
of this collection of information,
including any of the following subjects:
(1) The necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) the
AGENCY:
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) for such research.
ARRA also called for a report to
Congress and the Secretary of HHS on
priority CER topics by the Institute of
Medicine (IOM). The report presented
priority CER topics and
recommendations to support a robust
and sustainable CER enterprise. In
addition, ARRA established the Federal
Coordinating Council on Comparative
Effectiveness Research (FCCCER) to
help coordinate and minimize
duplicative efforts of Federally
sponsored CER across multiple agencies
and to advise the President and
Congress on how to allocate Federal
CER expenditures.
This project seeks to evaluate and
assess the products and outcomes of
ARRA-funded CER investments and the
impacts of those investments on the
priority topics recommended by IOM
and on the categories and themes of the
FCCCER framework. The primary goals
of this evaluation are to (1) conduct an
initial assessment of the ARRA CER
portfolio, cataloguing how CER funding
was invested to achieve the vision of the
FCCCER and assessing initial impact
from the perspective of various
stakeholders; and (2) lay the
groundwork for future CER investments
by identifying investment opportunities,
evidence gaps and lessons learned.
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
To obtain copies of the supporting
statement and any related forms for the
proposed paperwork collections
referenced above, e-mail your request,
including your address, phone number,
OMB number, and OS document
identifier, to
Sherette.funncoleman@hhs.gov, or call

Proposed Project
School Health Policies and Practices
Study 2012 (formerly titled School
Health Policies and Programs Study,
OMB No. 0920–0445, exp. 11/30/
2008)—Reinstatement with Changes—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
A limited number of preventable
behaviors, usually established during
youth and often extended into
adulthood, contribute substantially to
the leading causes of mortality and
morbidity during youth and adulthood.
These risk behaviors include those that
result in unintentional injuries and
violence; tobacco use; alcohol and other
drug use; sexual behaviors that
contribute to HIV infection, other STDs,
and unintended pregnancies; unhealthy
dietary behaviors; and physical
inactivity.
School-based instruction on health
topics offers the most systematic and
efficient means of enabling young
people to avoid the health risk
behaviors that lead to such problems.
CDC has previously examined the role
that schools play in addressing health
risk behaviors through the School
Health Policies and Programs Study
(SHPPS, OMB No. 0920–0445), a series
of data collections conducted at the
state, district, school, and classroom
levels in 1994 (OMB No. 0920–0340,
exp. 1/31/1995), 2000 (OMB No. 0920–
0445, exp. 10/31/2002), and 2006 (OMB
No. 0920–0445, exp. 11/30/2008).
CDC plans to reinstate data collection
in 2012 with changes. SHPPS 2012 will
collect information to assess the
characteristics of eight components of
school health programs at the
elementary, middle, and high school
levels: health education, physical

education, health services, mental
health and social services, nutrition
services, healthy and safe school
environment, faculty and staff health
promotion, and family and community
involvement. Twenty-two
questionnaires will be used: six at the
state level, seven at the district level,
seven at the school level, and two at the
classroom level. Minor modifications,
such as question wording, will be made
to the SHPPS 2006 questionnaires to
improve clarity and to reflect a change
in the mode of administration. Stateand district-level data collection in 2006
was conducted via computer-assisted
telephone interviewing; in 2012 this
data collection will be self-administered
via the Internet. A new component to
the SHPPS 2012 study is the inclusion
of vending machine observation, which
will yield the only nationally
representative dataset of snack and
beverage offerings available to students
through school vending machines.
Finally, state-level questionnaires will
be revised to reduce redundancy in
CDC-sponsored data collections.
The 2012 SHPPS data collection will
have significant implications for policy
and program development for school
health programs nationwide. The results
will be used by Federal agencies, state
and local education and health agencies,
the private sector, and others to support
school health programs; monitor
progress toward achieving health and
education goals and objectives; develop
educational programs, demonstration
efforts, and professional education/
training; and initiate other relevant
research initiatives to contribute to the
reduction of health risk behaviors
among our nation’s youth. SHPPS 2012
data will also be used to provide
measures for 14 Healthy People 2020
national health objectives. No other
national source of data exists for these
objectives.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
