Proposed Project Focus Group Testing to Effectively Plan and Tailor Cancer Prevention and Control Communication Campaigns (OMB No. 0920–0800, exp. 1/31/2012)— Extension (Generic)—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The mission of the CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC) is to reduce the burden of cancer in the United States through cancer prevention, reduction of risk, early detection, better treatment, and improved quality of life for cancer survivors. Toward this end, the DCPC supports the scientific development, implementation, and evaluation of various health communication campaigns with an emphasis on specific cancer burdens. This process requires testing of messages, concepts, and materials prior to their final development and dissemination. Communication campaigns vary according to the type of cancer, the qualitative dimensions of the message described above, and the type of respondents. CDC is requesting OMB approval of a three-year extension to an existing generic clearance that supports cancerrelated communications (OMB No. 0920–0800, exp. 1/31/2012). Information will be collected primarily through focus groups, and will be used to assess numerous qualitative dimensions of cancer prevention and control messages, including, but not limited to, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral intentions, information needs and sources, and compliance to recommended screening intervals. Insights gained from the focus groups will assist in the development and/or refinement of future campaign messages and materials. Over a three-year period, DCPC plans to conduct or sponsor up to 72 focus groups per year, with each group involving an average of 12 respondents. Screening will be conducted to recruit respondents for specific target audiences, e.g., health care providers or the general public. Each focus group discussion will be facilitated by a written discussion guide, and will last approximately two hours. CDC will submit an information collection request to OMB for approval of each focus group activity. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,814. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Type of respondents Form name Health care providers and general public .......

Background and Brief Description Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on ‘‘utilization of health care’’ in the United States. The National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) has been conducted annually since 1992. The purpose of NHAMCS is to meet the needs and demands for statistical information about the provision of ambulatory medical care services in the United States. Ambulatory services are rendered in a wide variety of settings, including physicians’ offices and hospital outpatient and emergency departments, and ambulatory surgery centers. The target universe of the NHAMCS is in-person visits made to outpatient departments (OPDs), emergency departments (EDs), and ambulatory surgery locations (ASLs) of non-Federal, short-stay hospitals (hospitals with an average length of stay of less than 30 days) or those whose specialty is general (medical or surgical) or children’s general, as well as visits to freestanding ambulatory surgery centers (FS–ASCs). The objectives of this revision are to convert data collection instruments from paper to computer-based instruments; add 167 hospitals to the NHAMCS sample to make state-based estimates in five states on emergency department characteristics; expand the data collection to include a lookback module; conduct a colonoscopy supplement pretest; and make slight modifications to survey questions. Users of NHAMCS data include, but are not limited to, congressional offices, Federal agencies, state and local governments, schools of public health, colleges and universities, private industry, nonprofit foundations, professional associations, clinicians, researchers, administrators, and health planners. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 10,348.
