Reporting System [HARS]. These data
will be used for quality control (to
ensure patients were not sampled for
participation in MMP more than once),
to assess nonresponse bias, to
prospectively monitor respondents’ care
utilization and treatment, and to make
inference to the population of persons
living with HIV in the United States.
The interview and minimum data set

revised based on experience in previous
data collection cycles, but these changes
will not affect the burden per

used in the previously approved data
collection period.
A standard interview will be
conducted with approximately 96% of
patients, and will take 45 minutes. A
short interview will be conducted with
patients who are too ill to complete the
standard interview or when the
interview must be translated. The short
interview, which will be conducted
with approximately 4% of patients, will
take approximately 20 minutes.
Medical record abstractions will be
completed for on all eligible
participants. Minimal data on all
sampled patients will be extracted from
an existing HIV case surveillance
CDC’s current goal is to interview 80%
of 9,400 patients or 7,520, 96% of whom
(a total of 7,219 patients) will complete
the standard interview and 4% of whom
(a total of 301 patients) will complete
the short interview. Because the number
of sampled patients is greater (by 62
patients) than for the previously
approved information collection, the
total burden (in hours) will increase by
37 hours, from 8,500 to 8,537.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary and there is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.
The estimated annualized burden
hours are 8,537.

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 ‘‘family formation, growth,
and dissolution,’’ as well as
‘‘determinants of health’’ and
‘‘utilization of health care’’ in the
United States. This three-year clearance
request includes the data collection in
2012–2015 for the continuous NSFG.
The National Survey of Family
Growth(NSFG) was conducted
periodically between 1973 and 2002,
and continuously since 2006, by the
National Center for Health Statistics,
CDC. Each year, about 14,000
households are screened, with about
5,000 participants interviewed annually.
Participation in the NSFG is completely
voluntary and confidential. Interviews
average 60 minutes for males and 80
minutes for females. The response rate
since 2006 is about 77 percent. This

The NSFG program produces
descriptive statistics which measure
factors associated with birth and
pregnancy rates, including
contraception, infertility, marriage,
divorce, and sexual activity, in the US
population 15–44; and behaviors that
affect the risk of sexually transmitted
diseases (STD), including HIV, and the
medical care associated with
contraception, infertility, and pregnancy
and childbirth.
NSFG data users include the DHHS
programs that fund it, including CDC/
NCHS and nine others (The Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute for
Child Health and Human Development
(NIH/NICHD); the Office of Population
Affairs (DHHS/OPA); the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (DHHS/OASPE); the
Children’s Bureau (DHHS/ACF/CB); the
ACF’s Office of Planning, Research, and
Evaluation (OPRE); the CDC’s Division

the CDC’s Division of STD Prevention
(CDC/DSTD); the CDC’s Division of
Cancer Prevention and Control (CDC/

Defects and Developmental Disabilities.
The NSFG is also used by state and local
governments; private research and
action organizations focused on men’s

and marriage and the family; academic
researchers in the social and public
health sciences; journalists, and many
others.
No questionnaire changes are
requested in the first 15 months of this
clearance; some limited changes may be
requested after that, to be responsive to
emerging public policy issues.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 7,192.

Proposed Project
Adoption, Health Impact and Cost of
Smoke-Free Multi-Unit Housing—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP) and National
Center for Environmental Health
(NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The health risks associated with
cigarette smoking and exposure to
Secondhand Smoke (SHS) are well
established. In 2006, the Surgeon
General’s report documented that over
the past two decades, the scientific,
engineering and medical literature have
established a wide range of adverse
health effects from SHS, including
cardiovascular disease, lung, breast and
nasal sinus cancer, asthma and other
respiratory illnesses, and low birth
weight and sudden infant death
syndrome in newborn babies. SHS
exposure is estimated to result in $5
billion a year in direct medical costs
and an additional $5 billion in indirect
costs in the U.S. The Surgeon General’s
report concluded that there is no safe
level of exposure to SHS.
Approximately 85 million Americans
reside in multi-unit housing (MUH)
facilities, which comprise nearly 30% of
all housing in the U.S. There are
significant challenges to maintaining a
smoke-free environment in MUH
residential settings. Although residents
may choose not to smoke, they may still
be exposed to SHS through the routine
operation of facility-wide heating,
ventilating and air conditioning
systems.
The private sector has begun to
institute smoke-free policies in MUH on
a voluntary basis through changes in
leasing agreements and advertising,

however, smoking restrictions in MUH
have largely been limited to common
areas and spaces, not individual
dwelling units. There are no studies that
have examined the impact of smoke free
policies by comparing pre- and post
SHS exposure and changes in health
outcomes after local governments adopt
regulatory policies that protect residents
from the effects of exposure to SHS in
their housing units.
CDC proposes to conduct a study to
address the gap in scientific evidence
about the impact of jurisdiction-wide
strategies (hereafter known as smokefree MUH policies) to protect
individuals from SHS in MUH settings.
Through the collection and analysis of
environmental and biometric data, the
study will demonstrate how SHS
exposure can be measured and will
quantify how exposure changes when
smoke-free policies are implemented. In
addition, the study will examine
barriers and facilitators to
implementation of smoke-free policies
in MUH and the cost-effectiveness of
these policies. CDC is authorized to
conduct this investigation by the Public
Health Service Act. The activities are
funded through the Prevention and
Public Health Fund of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act,
which is designed to expand and
sustain the necessary infrastructure for
preventing disease, detecting it early,
and managing conditions before they
become severe.
The proposed study consists of two
components. The first component
involves data collection in Los Angeles
County, California, and includes a
number of ‘‘intervention’’ communities
that have adopted, or are scheduled to
adopt, smoke-free MUH laws by mid2012, as well as ‘‘comparison’’
communities that have not adopted laws
regulating SHS in MUH. Communities
being considered for participation in the
study as intervention communities
include Culver City, Huntington Park,
