In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Office of the Secretary (OS), Department
AGENCY:
(OMB) in February 2007, following
OMB’s examination of OMH using the
Program Assessment Rating Tool
(PART). This measure is to ‘‘increase
awareness of racial/ethnic health status
and health care disparities in the
general population.’’ Findings from this
data collection will enable OMH to track
progress on this measure over time as
necessitated by current OMB-approved
program assessment requirements.
The lack of general awareness and
understanding about the nature and
extent of racial and ethnic health
disparities in the U.S. and the impact
that such disparities are having on the
overall health of the Nation have been
cited as a major barrier to the provision
of programmatic, budgetary, and policy
attention to these issues. Therefore, one
of the long-term, annual measures
agreed upon was to ‘‘increase awareness
of racial/ethnic health status and health
care disparities in the general
population.’’
Additionally, OMH can use the
findings about progress made in raising
awareness to identify collaborative
partners in the federal government, at
the state and local levels, among
businesses and non-profits, and among
the faith community, in order to reach
a wider audience. Further, these results
can be used by program decision-makers
and policy-makers, within and outside
of HHS, who are interested in capturing
progress made over time as HHS
disseminates information to the U.S.
population that confirms the existence,
and societal effects, of racial and ethnic
health disparities.
of Health and Human Services, is
publishing the following summary of a
proposed information collection request
