Proposed Project
Evaluation of the Young Sisters
Initiative: A Guide to A Better You!
Program—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2010, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) launched
Annual
frequency per
response
14,350
the three-year Breast Cancer in Young
Women (BCYW) project to raise
awareness about these issues among
young breast cancer survivors (YBCS)
and to provide psychosocial and
reproductive health support to women
who are diagnosed before age 45. A key
component of the BCYW program is the
design, testing, implementation and
evaluation of the Young Sisters
Initiative: A Guide to a Better You (YSI)
program. The YSI program is a webbased intervention designed to provide
African American YBCS with culturally
tailored psychosocial and reproductive
health information to support their
needs as cancer survivors.
CDC plans to conduct a process
evaluation of YSI program
implementation in conjunction with
Sisters Network Inc. (SNI), a partner
organization, and ICF International, an
evaluation contractor. Information will
be collected to assess whether the YSI
program can be implemented with
fidelity; reach its target audience of
African American YBCS; and deliver
effective psychosocial and reproductive
health information and support. The
process evaluation will also collect
information to improve understanding
of facilitators and barriers to YSI
program recruitment and
implementation, and to assess how the
program might be adapted for use with
other audiences.
Primary information collection will
consist of two Web-based surveys of YSI
program users, conducted before and
after exposure to YSI program materials.
The initial five-minute demographic
screener will be conducted when users
encounter the YSI Web site.
Respondents will be asked to provide
demographic and health information
necessary for identifying members of the

target YSI program audience, and to
indicate their willingness to complete a
brief online post-use survey one to two
weeks after their initial YSI program
Web site visit. The post-use survey will
be conducted after YSI Web site users
have time to review the site and
materials. The estimated burden for the
post-use survey is 20 minutes.
Respondents will be asked questions
about the usefulness of resources posted
on the YSI Web site and satisfaction
with the site. No personally identifiable
information will be collected.
Two secondary sources of information
will be used to supplement the process
evaluation data collection, but will not
impose burden on YSI Web site users.
First, CDC’s evaluation contractor will
use information obtained through
Google Analytics to assess how visitors
(particularly the target audience)
navigate and use the YSI Web site. In
addition, the evaluation contractor will
conduct a limited number of telephone
interviews with SNI staff and SNIidentified recruitment partners before
and after the YSI implementation to
assess fidelity to the YSI program core
components and identify any facilitators
and/or barriers experienced during
program implementation.
CDC will use the results of the process
evaluation to inform future efforts to
support and educate YBCS in
vulnerable/minority populations. OMB
approval is requested for one year.
Participation in the information
collection is voluntary, and there are no
costs to respondents other than their
time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 142.

Proposed Project
The National Hospital Care Survey
(NHCS)—Revision Exp. 4/30/2014—
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 of the population
of the United States. This three-year
clearance request for the National
Hospital Care Survey includes data
collection from hospital inpatient
departments; hospital ambulatory
departments including emergency
departments (ED), outpatient
departments (OPD), and ambulatory
surgery locations (ASLs); and
freestanding ambulatory surgery centers
(ASCs).
The National Center for Health
Statistics’ (NCHS) surveys on hospital
care include the National Hospital
Discharge Survey (NHDS) (OMB
No.0920–0212) and the National
Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care
Survey (NHAMCS) (OMB No. 0920–
0234). NHDS, between 1965 and 2010,
provided critical information on the
utilization of the nation’s non-Federal
short-stay hospitals and on the nature
and treatment of illness among the
inpatient hospitalized population.
NHAMCS has provided data annually
since 1992 concerning the nation’s use
of hospital emergency and outpatient
departments. Beginning in 2009
NHAMCS collected data on hospital
based ambulatory surgery locations, and
in 2010 began collection of data from
free-standing ambulatory surgery
centers. NHAMCS data have been
extensively used for monitoring changes
and analyzing the types of outpatient
care provided in the nation’s hospitals.
The Drug Abuse Warning Network
(DAWN) (OMB No. 0930–0078, expired
12/31/2011) collected specific
information on drug-related visits to the
ED. DAWN was previously funded by
the Center for Behavioral Health
Statistics & Quality (CBHSQ) of the
Substance Abuse & Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA),
DHHS.
NCHS is integrating the data collected
from NHDS, NHAMCS, and DAWN into
one survey called the National Hospital
Care Survey (NHCS). This integration
will increase the wealth and depth of
data on health care utilization and allow
for linkages to other data sources such
as the National Death Index and data
from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS).
Since May 2011, a sample of 500
hospitals drawn for NHCS is being
recruited, and participating hospitals
are submitting inpatient level data in
the form of electronic Uniform Bill (UB–
04) administrative claims data as well as
facility level data. This activity
continues in 2013 in addition to the
sampled hospitals being asked to
provide data on the utilization of health
care provided in their EDs, OPDs and
ASLs, thus integrating the NHDS,
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
61411
NHAMCS, and DAWN into NHCS. If
funding becomes available, a new
sample of freestanding ASCs will be
recruited sometime within the 3-year
clearance period.
NHCS will replace NHDS, NHAMCS,
and DAWN, but continue to provide
nationally representative data on
utilization of hospital care and general
purpose health care statistics on
inpatient care as well as care delivered
in EDs, OPDs, ASLs, and freestanding
ASCs.
Facility-level, patient-level, dischargelevel, and visit-level, data items will be
collected from the recruited hospitals
and freestanding ASCs in NHCS.
Facility- level data items will include
ownership, number of staffed beds,
clinical capabilities, financial
information, and electronic health
record adoption. Patient-level data items
will be collected for both inpatient and
ambulatory components and include
basic demographic information,
personal identifiers, name, address,
social security number (if available),
and medical record number (if
available). For the inpatient component,
discharge-level data will be collected
through the UB–04 claims and will
include: admission and discharge dates,
diagnoses, diagnostic services, and
surgical and non-surgical procedures.
For the ambulatory component, visitlevel data will be collected through the
UB–04 claims as well as through
abstraction of a sample of medical
records, which includes reason for visit,
diagnosis, procedures, medications, and
patient disposition.
We expect that the users of NHCS will
be similar to the users of NHDS,
NHAMCS, and DAWN data. These users
include but are not limited to CDC,
Congressional Research Office, Office of
the Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE), National Institutes
of Health, American Health Care
Association, Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), Bureau of the
Census, Office of National Drug Control
Policy, state and local governments, and
nonprofit organizations. Other users of
these data include universities, research
organizations, many in the private
sector, foundations, and a variety of
users in the print media.
Data collected through NHCS are
essential for evaluating health status of
the population, for the planning of
programs and policy to elevate the
health status of the Nation, for studying
morbidity trends, and for research
activities in the health field.
Historically, NHDS and NHAMCS data
have been used extensively in the
development and monitoring of goals
