Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluation of Implementation of the
Viral Hepatitis Action Plan.
Abstract: In response to the viral
hepatitis epidemic in the United States,
the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) released the Action Plan
for the Prevention, Care, and Treatment
of Viral Hepatitis (Action Plan) in May
2011 to provide a comprehensive
strategic plan to address viral hepatitis
B and C. Implementation of the Action
Plan requires actions across a variety of
agencies including national, state/local
government, community-based
organizations, and the private sector.
The Evaluation of Implementation of the
Viral Hepatitis Action Plan will assess
state and local response to activities that
support the Action Plan, identify
barriers to implementation and
strategies to address these barriers, and
inform future viral hepatitis efforts.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of this project
is to evaluate the state and local
response to and implementation of the
Action Plan and examine viral hepatitis
activities that are occurring in the four
jurisdictions that have been pre-selected
for the evaluation: Alabama,
Massachusetts, New York, and
Washington State. The information
collected through the evaluation will
position OASH to better understand
implementation of the Action Plan at
the state and local levels and barriers
that might be occurring in the selected
jurisdictions. The evaluation will also
serve to examine the landscape of viral
hepatitis activities that are taking place
in the selected jurisdictions. The results
of the evaluation will enable OASH to
understand and identify potential
strategies to strengthen local
implementation of the Action Plan,
address barriers, and inform future
implementation efforts.
Likely Respondents: State Viral
Hepatitis Prevention Coordinators (CDCfunded state health department staff);
other state and local health department
stakeholders such as HIV and
Immunization Program staff; national
organization representatives who are
involved in viral hepatitis program
development and advocacy; local viral
hepatitis stakeholders including health
care and substance abuse treatment
providers, non-profit community-based
organization staff and volunteers, and
others identified by the State Viral
Hepatitis Prevention Coordinator (see
above).
Burden Statement: The estimated
burden for data collection involves
scheduling and conducting key
informant interviews among a variety of
stakeholder groups including the CDCfunded Adult Viral Hepatitis Prevention
Coordinators, state and local health
departments, community-based
organizations, correctional facilities,
and healthcare providers. These
interviews will be conducted in four
states (Alabama, Massachusetts, New
York, and Washington). Up to twelve
additional interviews will also be
conducted with select national-level
stakeholders. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

Information Collection Request Title: Evaluation of Implementation
of the Viral Hepatitis Action Plan.
Abstract: In response to the viral hepatitis epidemic in the United
States, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the
Action Plan for the Prevention, Care, and Treatment of Viral Hepatitis
(Action Plan) in May 2011 to provide a comprehensive strategic plan to
address viral hepatitis B and C. Implementation of the Action Plan
requires actions across a variety of agencies including national,
state/local government, community-based organizations, and the private
sector. The Evaluation of Implementation of the Viral Hepatitis Action
Plan will assess state and local response to activities that support
the Action Plan, identify barriers to implementation and strategies to
address these barriers, and inform future viral hepatitis efforts.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The purpose of this
project is to evaluate the state and local response to and
implementation of the Action Plan and examine viral hepatitis
activities that are occurring in the four jurisdictions that have been
pre-selected for the evaluation: Alabama, Massachusetts, New York, and
Washington State. The information collected through the evaluation will
position OASH to better understand implementation of the Action Plan at
the state and local levels and barriers that might be occurring in the
selected jurisdictions. The evaluation will also serve to examine the
landscape of viral hepatitis activities that are taking place in the
selected jurisdictions. The results of the evaluation will enable OASH
to understand and identify potential strategies to strengthen local
implementation of the Action Plan, address barriers, and inform future
implementation efforts.
Likely Respondents: State Viral Hepatitis Prevention Coordinators
(CDC-funded state health department staff); other state and local
health department stakeholders such as HIV and Immunization Program
staff; national organization representatives who are involved in viral
hepatitis program development and advocacy; local viral hepatitis
stakeholders including health care and substance abuse treatment
providers, non-profit community-based organization staff and
volunteers, and others identified by the State Viral Hepatitis
Prevention Coordinator (see above).
Burden Statement: The estimated burden for data collection involves
scheduling and conducting key informant interviews among a variety of
stakeholder groups including the CDC-funded Adult Viral Hepatitis
Prevention Coordinators, state and local health departments, community-
based organizations, correctional facilities, and healthcare providers.
These interviews will be conducted in four states (Alabama,

interviews will also be conducted with select national-level
stakeholders. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are
