Proposed Project
Data Collection for Evaluation of
Education, Communication, and
Training Activities—New—National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division
of Global Migration and Quarantine
(DGMQ), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Division of Global
Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) is
requesting a three year approval for a
generic clearance to conduct evaluation
research in order to plan and implement
health communication, education, and
training activities to improve health and
prevent the spread of disease. These
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:00 Dec 06, 2011
Jkt 226001
activities include communicating with
international travelers and other mobile
populations, training healthcare
providers, and educating public health
departments and other federal partners.
The information collection for which
approval is sought is in accordance with
DGMQ’s mission to reduce morbidity
and mortality among immigrants,
refugees, travelers, expatriates, and
other globally mobile populations, and
to prevent the introduction,
transmission, or spread of
communicable diseases from foreign
countries into the United States. This
mission is supported by delegated legal
authorities.
First, section 361 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264)
(Attachment A) authorizes the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (HHS) to
make and enforce regulations necessary
to prevent the introduction,
transmission or spread of communicable
diseases from foreign countries or
possessions into the United States and
from one state or possession into any
other state or possession. These
regulations are codified in 42 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 70 and
71.
In addition, the Secretary of Health
and Human Services also has the legal
authority to establish regulations
outlining the requirements for the
medical examination of aliens before
they may be admitted into the United
States. This authority is provided under
Section 212(a)(1)(A) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1182(a)(1)(A)) (Attachment B) and
Section 325 of the Public Health Service
Act (Attachment C). These regulations
are codified in 42 CFR part 34, which
establish requirements that determine
whether aliens can be admitted into the
United States.
Successful implementation of
DGMQ’s regulatory authority and public
health mission as outlined above
requires a variety of communication,
training and educational activities
involving staff, partners, mobile
populations and the general public.
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
DGMQ conducts these activities in order
to inform, educate and empower key
audiences with respect to important
public health issues.
This generic OMB clearance will
allow DGMQ to quickly collect
information about the knowledge,
attitudes, and behaviors of key
audiences (such as refugees,
immigrants, migrants, international
travelers, travel industry partners,
healthcare providers, non-profit
agencies, customs brokers and
forwarders, schools, state and local
health departments) to help improve
and inform these activities during both
routine and emergency public health
events. This generic OMB clearance will
help DGMQ continue to refine these
efforts in a timely manner, and will be
especially valuable for communication
activities that must occur quickly in
response to public health emergencies.
DGMQ staff will use a variety of data
collection methods for this proposed
project: interviews, focus groups, group
discussions, surveys, and pre-post tests.
Depending on the research questions
and audiences involved, data may be
gathered in-person, by telephone,
online, or using some combination of
these formats. Data may be collected in
quantitative and/or qualitative forms.
Numerous audience variables will be
assessed under the auspices of this
generic OMB clearance. These include,
but are not limited to, knowledge,
attitudes, beliefs, behavioral intentions,
practices, behaviors, skills, self-efficacy,
and information needs and sources.
Insights gained from evaluation research
will assist in the development,
refinement, implementation, and
demonstration of outcomes and impact
of communication, education, and
training activities.
The information being collected will
not impose a cost burden on the
respondents beyond that associated
with their time to provide the required
data. The total estimated annual burden
is 22,166 hours.

Proposed Project
Data Collection for Evaluation of Education, Communication, and
Training Activities--New--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global Migration and
Quarantine (DGMQ), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of
Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) is requesting a three year
approval for a generic clearance to conduct evaluation research in
order to plan and implement health communication, education, and
training activities to improve health and prevent the spread of
disease. These activities include communicating with international
travelers and other mobile populations, training healthcare providers,
and educating public health departments and other federal partners.
The information collection for which approval is sought is in
accordance with DGMQ's mission to reduce morbidity and mortality among
immigrants, refugees, travelers, expatriates, and other globally mobile
populations, and to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread
of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States.
This mission is supported by delegated legal authorities.

foreign countries or possessions into the United States and from one
state or possession into any other state or possession. These
regulations are codified in 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts

In addition, the Secretary of Health and Human Services also has
the legal authority to establish regulations outlining the requirements

part 34, which establish requirements that determine whether aliens can
be admitted into the United States.
Successful implementation of DGMQ's regulatory authority and public
health mission as outlined above requires a variety of communication,
