The National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999–
2010 Birth Certificate Linkage Study—
Pregnant Women—New—National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
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 the extent and nature of
illness and disability; environmental,
social and other health hazards; and
determinants of health of the population
of the United States.
Division of Health and Nutrition
Examination Surveys (DHANES)
proposes to re-contact women who were
pregnant at the time of their
participation in NHANES in 1999–2010
and ask permission to link their data to
the child’s birth certificate data, for the
birth that resulted after the survey. This
study is funded in collaboration with
CDC’s National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion, Division of Reproductive
Health (DRH). Participation is
completely voluntary and confidential.

NHANES was conducted periodically
between 1970 and 1994, and
continuously since 1999 by the NCHS.
A supplemental sample of pregnant
women was selected in NHANES from
1999–2006. This resulted in a total of
1,350 pregnant women. Although this
supplemental sample was discontinued
after 2006, there are an estimated 150
pregnant women in the NHANES
sample for the years 2007–10. This
results in a total estimate of 1,500
women for this project.
The NHANES only collected
information about the pregnant women
at the time of interview. Having
information on their children’s birth
certificates and birth outcomes could
provide insight into issues related to
maternal and child health. No other
survey has the physical examination
and nutritional data that NHANES
collects on pregnant women.
Consents for these projects will be
sent to the appropriate U.S. states, local
areas, or territories, where the birth
certificate retrievals will then be
conducted. Electronic retrieval per
records is estimated at five minutes.
NHANES data users include the U.S.
Congress; the World Health
Organization; numerous Federal
agencies such as the National Institutes
of Health, the Environmental Protection
Agency, and the United States
Department of Agriculture; private
groups such as the American Heart
Association; schools of public health;
private businesses; individual
practitioners; and administrators. This
submission requests approval for two
years. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden is 312 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
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.
