unified clearance framework for a broad
array of tobacco-related communication
activities, which may occur on an asneeded basis, or in the context of a
coordinated series of activities. A
generic clearance is needed to support
the breadth, flexibility and timesensitivity of information collections
required to execute and evaluate the
upcoming ACA-funded tobacco
communication campaign, and to
support OSH’s ongoing programmatic
needs, including materials development
and testing for the Media Campaign
Research Center.
Information will be collected through
a variety of strategies including inperson focus groups, online focus
groups, computer-assisted, in-person, or
telephone interviews, and online
surveys of variable length (short,
medium, in-depth). The average burden
per response is expected to range from
6–25 minutes for online surveys, and
from 1–1.5 hours for interviews and
focus groups. CDC will request OMB
approval for each data collection
activity through submission of a specific
Information Collection Request that
describes its purpose, use, methodology,
and impact on affected respondents.
The information will be used to improve
the clarity, salience, appeal, and
persuasiveness of messages and
campaigns supporting OSH’s mission.
CDC’s authority to collect information
for public health purposes is provided
by the Public Health Service Act (41
U.S.C. 241) Section 301.
Approval of the generic mechanism is
requested for three years. Participation
is voluntary. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

may waive application of this
inadmissibility on health-related
grounds if an application for waiver is
filed and approved by the U.S.

this application primarily to collect

records of waiver applicants in order to
notify the U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services when terms,
conditions and controls imposed by
waiver are not met. CDC is requesting
approval from OMB to collect this data

to respondents except their time to
complete the application. The
annualized burden for this data
collection is 100 hours.

Proposed Project
Workplace Violence Prevention
Programs in NJ Healthcare Facilities—
New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The long-term goal of the proposed
project is to reduce violence against
healthcare workers. The objective of the
proposed study is two-fold: (1) To
examine healthcare facility compliance
with the New Jersey Violence

Prevention in Health Care Facilities Act,
and (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of
the regulations in this Act in reducing
assault injuries to workers. Our central
hypothesis is that facilities with high
compliance with the regulations will
have lower rates of employee violencerelated injury. First, we will conduct
face-to-face interviews with the chairs of
the Violence Prevention Committees
who are in charge of overseeing
compliance efforts. The purpose of the
interviews is to measure compliance to
the state regulations (violence
prevention policies, reporting systems
for violent events, violence prevention
committee, written violence prevention
plan, violence risk assessments, post
incident response and violence
prevention training). Second, we will
also collect assault injury data from
facility violent event reports 3 years preregulation (2009–2011) and 3 years postregulation (2012–2014). The purpose of
collecting these data is to evaluate
changes in assault injury rates before
and after enactment of the regulations.
Third, we will conduct a nurse survey.
The survey will describe the workplace
violence prevention training nurses
receive following enactment of the New
Jersey regulations.
Healthcare workers are nearly five
times more likely to be victims of
violence than workers in all industries
combined. While healthcare workers are
not at particularly high risk for jobrelated homicide, nearly 60% of all
nonfatal assaults occurring in private
industry are experienced in healthcare.
Six states have enacted laws to reduce
violence against healthcare workers by
requiring workplace violence
prevention programs. However, little is
understood about how effective these
laws are in reducing violence against
healthcare workers.
We will test our central hypothesis by
accomplishing the following specific
aims:
1. Compare the comprehensiveness of
healthcare facility workplace violence
prevention programs before and after
enactment of the New Jersey
regulations; Working hypothesis: Based
on our preliminary research, we
hypothesize that enactment of the
regulations will improve the
comprehensiveness of hospital
workplace violence prevention program
policies, procedures and training.
2. Describe the workplace violence
prevention training nurses receive
following enactment of the New Jersey
regulations; Working hypothesis: Based
on our preliminary research, we
hypothesize that nurses receive at least
80% of the workplace violence

prevention training components
mandated in the New Jersey regulations.
3. Examine patterns of assault injuries
to workers before and after enactment of
the regulations; Working hypothesis:
Based on our preliminary research, we
hypothesize that rates of assault injuries
to workers will decrease following
enactment of the regulations.
Healthcare facilities falling under the
regulations are eligible for study
inclusion (i.e., general acute care
hospitals and psychiatric facilities). We
will conduct face-to-face interviews
with the chairs of the Violence
Prevention Committees, who as stated
in regulations, are in charge of
overseeing compliance efforts. These
individuals will include hospital
administrators, security directors and/or
risk managers, many of whom
participated in the California study. The
purpose of the interviews is to measure
compliance to the state regulations (Aim
1). The interview form was pilot-tested
by the study team in the fall 2010 and
includes the following components as
mandated in the regulations: Violence
prevention policies, reporting systems
for violent events, violence prevention
committee, written violence prevention
plan, violence risk assessments, postincident response and violence
prevention training. Questions will also
be asked about barriers and facilitators
to developing the violence prevention
program.
These data will be collected in the
post-regulation time period; data
collected from New Jersey hospitals in
the California study will be used as the
baseline measure for evaluating
compliance. We will also collect assault
injury data from facility violent event
reports 3 years pre-regulation (2009–
2011) and 3 years post-regulation (2012–
2014). The purpose of collecting these
data is to evaluate changes in assault
injury rates before and after enactment
of the regulations (Aim 3). The
abstraction form was developed to
collect the specific reporting
components stated in the regulations:
Date, time and location of the incident;
identity, job title and job task of the
victim; identity of the perpetrator;
description of the violent act, including
whether a weapon was used;
description of physical injuries; number
of employees in the vicinity when the
incident occurred, and their actions in
response to the incident;
recommendations of police advisors,
employees or consultants, and; actions
taken by the facility in response to the
incident. No employee or perpetrator
identifiable information will be
collected.
