Proposed Project Risk Factors for Invasive Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among Patients Recently Discharged from Acute Care Hospitals through the Active Bacterial Core Surveillance for Invasive MRSA infections (ABCs MRSA)—NEW— National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Essential steps in reducing the occurrence of healthcare-associated invasive MRSA infections are to quantify the burden and to identify modifiable risk factors associated with invasive MRSA disease. The current CDC’s ABCs MRSA surveillance has been essential to quantify the burden of invasive MRSA in the United States. Through this surveillance CDC was able to estimate that 94,360 invasive MRSA infections associated with 18,650 deaths occurred in the United States in 2005. The majority of these invasive infections (58%) had onset in the community or within 3 days of hospital admission and occurred among individuals with recent healthcare exposures (healthcareassociated community-onset [HACO]). More recent data from the CDC’s ABCs MRSA system have shown that two thirds of invasive healthcare-associated community-onset MRSA infections occur among persons who are discharged from an acute care hospital in the prior 3 months. Risk factors for invasive MRSA infections postdischarge have not been well evaluated, and effective prevention measures in this population remain uncertain. For this project, an estimated total of 450 patients (150 patients with HACO MRSA infection post-acute care discharge and 300 patients without HACO MRSA infection) will be contacted for the MRSA interview annually. This estimate is based on the Number of respondents Type of respondents Form name Hospital Patients ............................................. sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES numbers of MRSA cases reported by the ABCs MRSA sites annually (https:// www.cdc.gov/abcs/reports-findings/ survreports/mrsa08.html ) who are 18 years of age or older, had onset of the MRSA infection in the community or within 3 days of hospital admission, and history of hospitalization in the prior 3 months. ABCs MRSA surveillance case report forms will be used to identify HACO MRSA cases to be contacted for a telephone interview. For each HACO MRSA case identified; 2 patients without HACO MRSA infection (control-patients) matched on age with MRSA case will be contacted for a health interview. All 450 patients (both cases and controls) will be screened for eligibility and those considered to be eligible will complete the telephone interview. We anticipate that 350 of the 450 patients screened will complete the telephone interview across all 6 participating ABCs MRSA sites per year. We anticipate the screening questions to take about 5 minutes and the telephone interview 20 minutes per respondent. Preventing healthcare-associated invasive MRSA infections is one of CDC priorities. The goal of this project is to assess risk factors for invasive healthcare-associated MRSA infections, which will inform the development of targeted prevention measures. This activity supports the HHS Action Plan for elimination of healthcare-associated infections. There are no costs to respondents. The total response burden for the study is estimated as 155 hours.

ACTION: Notice. sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: Aware Approving Official: Thomas R. Frieden, MD, MPH, Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Administrator, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the Department of Health and Human Services, in partnership with Million Hearts TM announces the launch of The Million Hearts TM Caregiver Video Challenge. We invite people who play a role in helping to prevent or control high blood pressure or maintain the heart health of a loved one to share their stories of caregiving by creating original, compelling videos that are less than 2 minutes long. The videos should include a description of how the caregiver contributes to another person’s heart health and provide helpful tips related to high blood pressure prevention or control. This challenge is necessary to engage a key audience of the Million Hearts TM initiative and to recognize individuals who work hard to provide care for their family members or friends. The goal of this Challenge is to have caregivers create inspiring videos that provide other caregivers helpful tips on heart healthy practices, particularly on the prevention and control of high blood pressure. Through these personalized videos we intend to promote heart disease prevention through blood pressure control, medication adherence, and lifestyle changes to the public. DATES: Contestants can submit videos July 16, 2012 through August 31, 2012. Judging will take place September 10– 28, 2012. Winners will be announced on October 8, 2012.

Jkt 226001 ‘‘The Million Hearts TM Caregiver Video Challenge’’ will engage the caregiver community. We ask caregivers to create and submit videos that describe their role in caring for the heart health, particularly by helping to prevent or control high blood pressure, of loved ones. In the videos caregivers should describe how they help family members remember to take medications as directed (medication adherence), offer tips for monitoring blood pressure at home to improve blood pressure control, or show how to encourage lifestyle changes that benefit blood pressure control. Lifestyle changes include increasing physical activity or reducing sodium in the diet.

Background and Brief Description

    Essential steps in reducing the occurrence of healthcare-associated 
invasive MRSA infections are to quantify the burden and to identify 
modifiable risk factors associated with invasive MRSA disease. The 
current CDC's ABCs MRSA surveillance has been essential to quantify the 
burden of invasive MRSA in the United States. Through this surveillance 
CDC was able to estimate that 94,360 invasive MRSA infections 
associated with 18,650 deaths occurred in the United States in 2005. 
The majority of these invasive infections (58%) had onset in the 
community or within 3 days of hospital admission and occurred among 
individuals with recent healthcare exposures (healthcare-associated 
community-onset [HACO]). More recent data from the CDC's ABCs MRSA 
system have shown that two thirds of invasive healthcare-associated 
community-onset MRSA infections occur among persons who are discharged 
from an acute care hospital in the prior 3 months. Risk factors for 
invasive MRSA infections post-discharge have not been well evaluated, 
and effective prevention measures in this population remain uncertain.
    For this project, an estimated total of 450 patients (150 patients 
with HACO MRSA infection post-acute care discharge and 300 patients 
without HACO MRSA infection) will be contacted for the MRSA interview 
annually. This estimate is based on the numbers of MRSA cases reported 
by the ABCs MRSA sites annually (https://www.cdc.gov/abcs/reports-findings/survreports/mrsa08.html ) who are 18 years of age or older, 
had onset of the MRSA infection in the community or within 3 days of 
hospital admission, and history of hospitalization in the prior 3 
months. ABCs MRSA surveillance case report forms will be used to 
identify HACO MRSA cases to be contacted for a telephone interview. For 
each HACO MRSA case identified; 2 patients without HACO MRSA infection 
(control-patients) matched on age with MRSA case will be contacted for 
a health interview. All 450 patients (both cases and controls) will be 
screened for eligibility and those considered to be eligible will 
complete the telephone interview. We anticipate that 350 of the 450 
patients screened will complete the telephone interview across all 6 
participating ABCs MRSA sites per year. We anticipate the screening 
questions to take about 5 minutes and the telephone interview 20 
minutes per respondent.

CDC priorities. The goal of this project is to assess risk factors for 
invasive healthcare-associated MRSA infections, which will inform the 
development of targeted prevention measures. This activity supports the 
HHS Action Plan for elimination of healthcare-associated infections.
    There are no costs to respondents. The total response burden for 
the study is estimated as 155 hours.
