based tobacco control policies and
interventions including telephone
quitlines to increase tobacco use
cessation.
Tobacco control is also a top priority
for federally-funded cancer control
programs. Currently, 65 organizations
are funded through CDC’s National
Comprehensive Cancer Control Program
(NCCCP): all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, seven tribes/tribal
organizations, and seven U.S.
territories/Pacific Island Jurisdictions.
NCCCP grantees are charged with
establishing NCCCP coalitions,
assessing the burden of cancer, and
developing and implementing
comprehensive cancer control (CCC)
plans. The CCC plans address
interventions across the cancer
continuum from primary prevention to
treatment and survivorship. The NCCCP
is managed by CDC’s Division of Cancer
Prevention and Control (DCPC).
CDC recognizes the need for increased
collaboration between CCCs and TCPs.
Toward this end, CDC plans to conduct
a study of current partnership efforts
involving NCCCP awardees and NTCP
awardees. Information will be collected
to improve understanding of the ways in
which CCCs and TCPs may collaborate
to address cancer and tobacco control,
and how these programs utilize their
respective networks to cross-promote
activities. The Partnership Study will be
conducted in seven states that: (1) Are
funded through both the NCCCP and the
NTCP and (2) have an established
relationship between the two programs.
Respondents for the Study of
Comprehensive Cancer Control and
Tobacco Control Program Partnerships
will be state health department leaders,
CCC and TCP staff (e.g., program
directors, evaluation specialists, media
specialists, quitline coordinators), and
other stakeholders, such as coalition
members. Information will be collected
through in-person interviews involving
approximately 15 respondents in each
state. Respondents will be asked about
key aspects of their program’s structure
and activities, including efforts to
coordinate across the CCC–TCP
structure and facilitators and/or barriers
influencing CCC–TCP collaborations.
The questions in each interview will be
customized depending on the
respondent’s role. Each interview will
last approximately 45 minutes to one
hour.
CDC plans to request OMB approval
for one year. The information to be
collected in the Partnership Study will
be used to develop examples of
successful strategies used by selected
CCCs and TCPs to cross-collaborate and
cross-promote programs/services, and to
identify new areas of potential
collaboration that may be shared with
CDC, other federal agencies, and other
CCC and TCP states for replication.
The Partnership Study will
complement and extend the usefulness
of results to be obtained in a companion
study titled ‘‘Comparing the
Effectiveness of Traditional EvidenceBased Tobacco Cessation Interventions
to Newer and Innovative Interventions
Used by Comprehensive Cancer Control
Programs.’’ Additional information
about the companion project will be
published in a separate Federal Register
Notice. Both studies will be funded
through the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.

Survey of Rapid Influenza Diagnostic

study investigating rapid influenza
diagnostic testing practices in clinical

laboratories. The survey will be funded
in full by the Office of Surveillance,
Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services
(OSELS) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). Influenza
epidemics usually cause an average
more than 200,000 hospitalizations and
36,000 deaths per year in the U.S.
Respiratory illnesses caused by
influenza viruses are not easily
differentiated from other respiratory
infections based solely on symptoms.
Also influenza viruses may adversely
affect different subpopulations. The
effective use of rapid influenza
diagnostic testing practices is an
important component of the differential
diagnosis of influenza-like-illness in
both inpatient and outpatient treatment
facilities. Test results are used for
making decisions about antiviral vs.
antibiotic use, and in making admission
or discharge decisions. In many cases,
rapid influenza tests are the only tests
that can provide results while the
patient is still present in the facility.
Thus, the appropriate use of the tests,
and interpretation of test results is
critical to the treatment and control of
influenza. More than a dozen rapid tests
emergency departments and treatment
facilities and health departments, and
what quality assurance practices are
used will guide future efforts of the CDC
to develop appropriate influenza testing
guidelines and sector-specific training
materials for clinicians and improve
health outcomes of the American
public.
The survey covers basic laboratory
demographic characteristics, specimen
collection and processing, testing
practices, reporting of results to
emergency departments and other
treatment facilities, reporting results to
health departments, quality assurance
practices, and methods of receiving
updated influenza-related information.
The majority of the questions request
information about laboratory influenza
testing practices.
To date, no systematic study has been
conducted to investigate how
laboratories use these tests, how they
report results, or how they interact with
outpatient treatment facilities. The
survey will be conducted on a national
sample of clinical laboratories. There
are no costs to respondents except their
time.
have been approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration and are in
widespread use. The reliability of rapid
influenza tests is influenced by the
individual test product used and the
setting. Reported sensitivities range
from 10–75%; while the median
specificities reported are 90–95%. Other
factors influencing accuracy are the
stage (or duration) of illness when the
diagnostic specimen is collected, type
and adequacy of the specimen collected,
variability in user technique for
specimen collection or assay
performance, and disease activity in the
community. Given these and other
collective findings, it is imperative for
public health and for response planning
that CDC develops sector-specific
guidance and effective outreach to the
clinicians on appropriate use of RIDT in
their practices.
Previous studies by CDC of outpatient
facilities showed that clinical
laboratories usually perform the rapid
tests for emergency departments, and
provide results for both inpatient and
outpatient treatment. Thus,
understanding the use of rapid
influenza testing in clinical laboratories,
how the laboratories report results to
