Proposed Project
Barriers to Occupational Injury
Reporting by Workers: A NEISS–Work
Telephone Interview Survey—New—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year about 5,400 workers die
from a work-related injury and 4 million
private industry workers report a
nonfatal injury or illness. There are 3.4
million workers treated in U.S. hospital
emergency departments annually for
nonfatal occupational injuries and
illnesses [1]. Although studies indicate
that we have reduced the number of
nonfatal injuries in recent decades,
there is evidence that nonfatal
occupational injury surveillance
significantly underreports workplace
injuries. This presumed undercount
potentially decreases health and safety
funding because of a false sense of
improvement and increases the
misdirection of scarce safety and health
resources. It is this basic need for
reliable and comprehensive
occupational injury surveillance that led
to the 1987 National Academy of

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 2012 / Notices
Science report Counting Injuries and
Illnesses in the Workplace—Proposals
for a Better System [6] and the 2008
Congressional report Hidden Tragedy:
Underreporting of Workplace Injuries
and Illnesses [1].
The proposed pilot research addresses
two facets of nonfatal occupational
injury reporting noted in these reports—
understanding barriers and incentives to
reporting occupational injuries and
using this knowledge to assess and
improve our surveillance activities. The
objectives of this project are to (1)
Characterize and quantify the relative
importance of incentives and
disincentives to self-identifying workrelatedness at the time of medical
treatment and to employers; (2)
characterize individual and
employment characteristics that are
associated with non-reporting of
workplace injuries and incentives and
disincentives to reporting; (3) test the
reliability of hospital abstractors to
properly distinguish between workrelated and non-work-related injuries;
and (4) evaluate the feasibility, need,
and requirements for a future larger
study.
This project will use the occupational
and the all injuries supplements to the
National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System (NEISS–Work and NEISS–AIP,
respectively) to identify telephone
interview survey participants. NEISS–
Work and NEISS–AIP, collected by the
Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC), capture people who were
treated in the emergency department
(ED) for a work-related illness or injury
(NEISS–Work) or any injury, regardless
of work-relatedness (NEISS–AIP).
Interview respondents will come from
two subgroups—individuals treated for
a work-related injury and individuals
who were treated for a non-work-related
injury but who were employed during
the time period that the injury occurred.
Data collection for the telephone
interview survey will be done via a
questionnaire. This questionnaire
contains questions about the
respondent’s injury that sent them to the
ED, the characteristics of the job they
were working when they were injured,
their experiences reporting their injury
to the ED and their employer (if
applicable), and their beliefs about the
process and subsequent consequences of
reporting an injury. The questionnaire
was designed to take 30 minutes to
complete. Individuals who were not
employed at the time the injury
occurred or was made worse; who are
younger than age 20 or older than age
64; who do not speak English; who were
employed on a farm or ranch or were
self-employed, an independent
contractor, or a day laborer at the time
of injury; who did not experience an
acute injury; or who missed more than
three days from work because of the
injury will be screened out at the
beginning of the interview.
Approximately 1200 interviews will
be completed over the two year period
of the study. The only cost to the
respondent will be the cost of their time
spent on the phone completing the
telephone interview survey. The
estimated annualized burden hours are
300.

Proposed Project
Pre-Evaluation Assessments of
Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity
Programs and Policies—New—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The causes of obesity in the United
States are complex and numerous, and
they occur at many levels. In 2009, CDC
issued guidance outlining 24
community-based strategies to
encourage healthy eating and active
living. Some of these strategies are being
implemented by CDC awardees and
other organizations. CDC plans to
collect preliminary information about
the effectiveness, in practice, of a
selected group of the 24 recommended
strategies. A systematic screening and
assessment process will be used to
identify programs for further evaluation.
CDC will select programs for initial
assessment by reviewing completed
program nomination forms. Forms can

be submitted by states and jurisdictions

cooperative agreement program, states
and jurisdictions that do not currently
have NPAO funding, and other
organizations. Nominations may be
submitted on-line or in hardcopy
format. The nomination form includes a
general program description, and an
overview of organizational capacity. It
will also include a summary of the
program’s potential impact, reach to
target population, feasibility,
transportability, acceptability to
stakeholders, and sustainability. CDC
anticipates reviewing an average of 51
program nomination forms per year.
CDC will also collect information
through semi-structured, in-person
interviews with approximately 12 key
informants at each site selected for
assessment. Respondents at each site
will include the lead administrator,
three program staff, an evaluator, and
seven public and private sector partners
and other stakeholders. Public and
private sector partners and other
stakeholders will be drawn from the
state, local, and tribal government sector
