Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluation of the National Partnership
for Action to End Health Disparities.
Abstract: The Office of Minority
Health (OMH) in the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH),
Office of the Secretary (OS) is requesting
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for new data
collection activities for the Evaluation of
the National Partnership for Action to
End Health Disparities (NPA). The NPA
was officially launched in April 2011 to
mobilize a nationwide, comprehensive,
community-driven, and sustained
approach to combating health
disparities and to move the nation
toward achieving health equity. Using
an approach that vests those at the front
line with the responsibility of
identifying and helping to shape core
actions, new approaches and new
partnerships are being established to
help close the health gap in the United
States. OMH proposes to conduct an
evaluation of the NPA. The evaluation’s
goal is to determine the extent to which
the NPA has contributed to the
elimination of health disparities and
attainment of health equity in our
nation. The evaluation will accomplish
this goal by (1) determining the degree
to which a structure (e.g., partnerships,
programmatic reach, communications,
committees) to implement the NPA
goals and strategies has been
established; (2) Collecting, analyzing,
and summarizing baseline data for core
indicators of immediate and
intermediate outcomes (e.g., changes in
policy, procedures, and practices to
diversify workforce, promote cultural
competency, affect social determinants,
build leadership, and increase public
support for ending health disparities
and achieving health equity); (3)
Developing criteria for promising
practices for ending health disparities
and identifying such practices; (4)
Beginning to monitor data on social
determinants of health and health
outcomes using secondary sources.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The goal of the NPA
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
evaluation is to determine the extent to
which the NPA has contributed to the
elimination of health disparities and the
attainment of health equity in our
nation. The data to be collected will be
used to inform the various stakeholders
involved in implementation of the NPA
and the National Stakeholder Strategy
about progress, results, lessons learned,
and necessary mid-course adjustments.
The evaluation team will facilitate
meetings to reflect and discuss the
findings with OMH’s leadership, staff,
and the implementation and
communications teams that support the
NPA. The meetings will focus on the
lessons learned and their implications
on strategy improvement and
implementation.
Information from the evaluation will
also be shared with Congress through its
inclusion in OMH’s biennial report to
Congress.
