for unexpected situations will be
developed from the results of the
laboratory experiment. The results and
guidelines will be published in journal
research papers and presented in
international conferences and meeting.
The Dynamic Decision Making
Laboratory conducted this research with
a total of 28 students from Carnegie
Mellon University and the University of
Pittsburgh between January 2010 and
December 2010. Participants were
recruited through an online research
participant pool from Carnegie Mellon
University and the University of
Pittsburgh to participate in a simple
DMGame, called the ‘‘Work Hazard
Game.’’ Participants were asked to read
and sign a consent form. After signing
the form, participants were provided
with instructions on how to play the
game. They then completed the Work
Hazard Game. Overall, participation
lasted about 30 minutes. The game
recorded participants’ actions and the
data was transferred to statistical
software (i.e., SPSS) for analysis. There
were no costs to respondents other than
their time. The total estimated annual
burden hours are 14.

Background and Brief Description
Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In 2008, the Congressional Committee
on Education and Labor released the
report, ‘‘Hidden Tragedy:
Underreporting of Workplace Injuries
and Illnesses,’’ indicating ‘‘that workrelated injuries and illnesses in the
United States are chronically and even
grossly underreported.’’ This report
focused on employer-based reporting of
occupational injuries and illnesses and
the associated underreporting. Based in
part on the report’s results, Congress
allocated funds for NIOSH to conduct a
follow-up study using the NIOSH’s
occupational supplement to the
National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System (NEISS–Work) to estimate
underreporting among individuals who
seek care at an ED for an occupational
illness, injury, or exposure. NEISS–
Work, collected by the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC),
captures people who were treated in the
emergency department (ED) for workrelated injuries or illnesses.
Objectives for this project are to (1)
assess the reporting behavior of workers
that are injured, ill, or exposed to a
harmful substance at work; (2)
characterize the chronic aspects of
work-related injuries or illnesses; and
(3) estimate the prevalence of work-

related chronic injuries and illnesses
among United States workers treated in
emergency departments (EDs).
Particular attention will be paid to selfemployed workers, workers with workrelated illnesses, and workers with
chronic health problems.
Data collection for the telephone
interview survey will be done via a
questionnaire containing questions
about the respondent’s injury, illness, or
exposure that sent them to the ED; the
characteristics of the job they were
working when they were injured,
became ill, or were exposed; their
experiences reporting their injury,
illness, or exposure to the ED and their
employer (if applicable); the presence of
an underlying chronic condition that is
associated with their ED visit; and the
nature of any other work-related chronic
conditions they have experienced. The
questionnaire was designed to take 30
minutes to complete. It contains a brief
introduction that includes the elements
of informed consent and asks for verbal
consent to be given. The study has
received a waiver of written informed
consent by the NIOSH Human Subjects
Review Board. The questionnaire
includes a brief series of questions to
screen out individuals who were not
seen in the ED for a work-related injury,
illness, or exposure; who are younger
than age 20 or older than age 64; who
do not speak English or Spanish; or who
were working as volunteers or day
laborers when the injury, illness, or
exposure occurred or was made worse.
The informed consent procedure and
screening questions take approximately
five minutes to complete.
It is estimated that between 1,500 and
3,000 interviews will be completed.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
Comparing the Effectiveness of
Traditional Evidence-Based Tobacco
Cessation Interventions to Newer and
Innovative Interventions Used by
Comprehensive Cancer Control
Programs—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) provides funding and
technical assistance for tobacco control
through Tobacco Control Programs
(TCPs), which offer evidence-based
cessation interventions to increase

successful quit attempts. CDC also
supports Comprehensive Cancer Control
(CCC) programs, which address cancerrelated interventions from primary
prevention to treatment and
survivorship. TCPs and CCC programs
are based in states, the District of
Columbia, Tribal organizations, and
U.S. territories.
Evidence-based tobacco cessation
interventions include counseling offered
through telephone quitlines (QLs) as
well as Web-based counseling services.
Mass media (e.g., television, radio,
print) has been shown to be the most
important and consistent driver of call
volume to QLs in some localities, but is
resource intensive. To date there are no
comprehensive studies that have
examined TCP promotional strategies,
the populations affected by these
strategies, and their effect on QL and
Web-based cessation program usage.
To address this gap in knowledge,
CDC proposes to conduct a new study
of state-based TCPs and their client
populations. The study will consist of
two components: (1) Quitline
promotional activities, and (2) cessation
intervention. The promotional activities
component involves secondary analysis
of information already collected by
TCPs and CCC programs. The cessation
intervention component involves new
information collection.
Quitline Promotional Activities. The
overall goal of this study component is
to characterize state-based TCP
promotional activities in terms of type
and level of advertising; impact in
relation to QL call volume; and client
characteristics. Up to 50 state-based
TCPs will be asked to participate.
Existing sources of information will be
used to minimize burden to
respondents. Participating states will
provide CDC with media purchasing
information related to cessation
promotional activities and permission to
extract de-identified QL call volume
data from the National Quitline Data

Warehouse (NQDW, OMB No. 0920–
0856, exp. 7/31/2012). Information will
be transmitted to CDC on a quarterly
basis. The estimated burden for each
electronic transmission is 10 minutes.
Cessation Intervention. The overall
goal of this study component is to
describe relationships among mode of
cessation service delivery (telephone vs.
Web); client demographics; and quit
success in the last 30 days. Participating
TCPs in up to four states will use
existing sources of information to
produce study files containing client
intake data, i.e., information obtained
from clients when they request tobacco
cessation services through a telephone
Quitline or a Web-based service. TCPs
will transmit intake information to CDC
four times per year. The estimated
burden of each transmission is 15
minutes.
CDC also plans to conduct a followup data collection with a total of 8,000
individuals aged ≥ 18 years who have
voluntarily agreed to participate in the
study (4,000 clients who use QL
services and 4,000 clients who use Webbased services). The 15-minute followup survey will be administered online
or by telephone. Clients who choose not
to participate in the study will receive
regular access to QL or Web-based
cessation services.
The results of this study will provide
TCPs, policy makers, CDC, and others
with information about the impact of
promotional activities and the
comparative effectiveness of traditional
versus new and innovative cessation
services. This study is funded through
the American Reinvestment and
Recovery Act (ARRA).
Information will be collected over a
24-month period. OMB approval is
requested for two and one-half years to
permit flexibility in scheduling start and
stop dates. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 1,037.
