Proposed Project
Community Transformation Grants:
Evaluation of Nutrition, Physical
Activity, and Obesity-related Television
Media Campaigns—New—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Although there is growing evidence of
the impact of tobacco control media
campaigns on tobacco use, less is
known about the effectiveness of media
campaigns targeting nutrition, physical
activity, and obesity (NPAO). A number
of Community Transformation Grant
(CTG) program awardees have
developed messages about the
importance of regular physical activity,
fruit and vegetable consumption, and
avoidance of sugar-sweetened
beverages. These efforts provide a
E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM

unique opportunity to establish an
evidence base for obesity prevention
communication efforts operating within
the broader context of community-level
change efforts.
As part of a multi-component
evaluation plan for the CTG program,
CDC is seeking OMB approval to collect
the information needed to evaluate the
effectiveness of NPAO-targeted local
television media campaigns. The items
of information to be collected focus on
the following areas: Audience
awareness and recall of local campaigns;
reactions to and perceptions of
campaign messages; NPAO-related
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs;
support for NPAO-related policy/
environmental change; intentions to
change NPAO-related behaviors; NPAO-
related behaviors; and sociodemographic characteristics. This
information will be used to evaluate the
impact of these efforts on key NPAOrelated outcomes and to examine the
extent to which campaign effectiveness
varies by characteristics and stylistic
features of different campaign
advertisements. The information will
inform the CTG Program and other
NPAO-targeted media campaigns and
help to improve the clarity, salience,
appeal, and persuasiveness of messages
and campaigns supporting CDC’s
mission.
Information will be collected through
Web surveys to be self-administered at
home on personal computers. Surveys
will be administered to approximately
15,399 adult members of Research Now
(RN) panel, a large online panel of the
U.S. population. Information will be
collected once, with an expected burden
of approximately 30 minutes per survey.
CDC estimates that approximately
25,665 individuals must be contacted
for screening and consent in order to
yield the target number of completed
surveys. The estimated burden response
for the initial contact is three minutes.
Participation is voluntary and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time. CDC’s authority to collect
information for public health purposes
is provided by the Public Health Service
Act (41 U.S.C. 241) Section 301.
Approval for this information collection
is requested for one year. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
8,983.

The National Healthcare Safety
Network (NHSN) is a system designed to
accumulate, exchange, and integrate
relevant information and resources
among private and public stakeholders
to support local and national efforts to
protect patients and promote healthcare
safety. Specifically, the data is used to
determine the magnitude of various
healthcare-associated adverse events
and trends in the rates of these events
among patients and healthcare workers
with similar risks. The data will be used
to detect changes in the epidemiology of
adverse events resulting from new and
current medical therapies and changing
risks. The NHSN consists of four
components: Patient Safety, Healthcare
Personnel Safety, Biovigilance, and
Long-Term Care Facility (LTCF). In
general, the data reported under the
Patient Safety Component protocols are
used to (1) determine the magnitude of
the healthcare-associated adverse events
under study, trends in the rates of
events, in the distribution of pathogens,
and in the adherence to prevention
practices, and (2) to detect changes in
the epidemiology of adverse events
resulting from new medical therapies
and changing patient risks.

Additionally, reported data will be used
to describe the epidemiology of
antimicrobial use and resistance and to
understand the relationship of
antimicrobial therapy to this growing
problem. Under the Healthcare
Personnel Safety Component protocols,
data on events, both positive and
adverse, are used to determine (1) the
magnitude of adverse events in
healthcare personnel and (2)
compliance with immunization and
sharps injuries safety guidelines. Under
the Biovigilance Component, data on
adverse reactions and incidents
associated with blood transfusions are
used to provide national estimates of
adverse reactions and incidents. The
Long-Term Care Facility (LTCF)
Component is used to more specifically
and appropriately capture data from the
residents of skilled nursing facilities.
Surveillance methods and definitions
for this component specifically address
the nuances of LTCF residents.
This revision submission includes
major revisions to the Patient Safety
Component—Outpatient Dialysis Center
Practices Survey (Form 57.104) in an
effort to provide further clarification to
those collecting the information.
Additionally, some of the changes have
been made to improve surveillance data
available for the outpatient dialysis
population. Due to the CMS End Stage
