Proposed Project
DELTA FOCUS Program Evaluation—
New—National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a
serious, preventable public health
VerDate Mar<15>2010

problem that affects millions of
Americans and results in serious
consequences for victims, families, and
communities. IPV occurs between two
people in a close relationship. The term
‘‘intimate partner’’ describes physical,
sexual, or psychological harm by a
current or former partner or spouse. IPV
can impact health in many ways,
including long-term health problems,
emotional impacts, and links to negative
health behaviors. IPV exists along a
continuum from a single episode of
violence to ongoing battering; many
victims do not report IPV to police,
friends, or family.
Primary prevention means stopping
IPV before it occurs. In 2002, authorized
by the Family Violence Prevention
Services Act (FVPSA), CDC developed
the Domestic Violence Prevention
Enhancements and Leadership Through
Alliances (DELTA) Program, with a
focus on the primary prevention of IPV.
Since that time, The DELTA Program
has funded state domestic violence
coalitions (SDVCs) to engage in
statewide primary prevention efforts
and to provide training, technical
assistance, and financial support to
local communities for local primary
prevention efforts. DELTA FOCUS
(Domestic Violence Prevention
Enhancement and Leadership through
Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for
Communities United with States) builds
on that history by providing focused
funding to states and communities for
intensive implementation and
evaluation of IPV primary prevention
strategies that address the structural
determinants of health at the societal
and community levels of the socialecological model (SEM).
The purpose of the DELTA FOCUS
program is to promote the prevention of
IPV through the implementation and
evaluation of strategies that create a
foundation for the development of
practice-based evidence. By
emphasizing primary prevention, this
program will support comprehensive
and coordinated approaches to IPV
prevention. Each SDVC is required to
identify and fund one to two wellorganized, broad-based, active local
coalitions (referred to as coordinated
community responses or CCRs) that are
already engaging in, or are at capacity to
engage in, IPV primary prevention
strategies affecting the structural
determinants of health at the societal
and/or community levels of the SEM.
SDVCs must facilitate and support local-

level implementation and hire
empowerment evaluators to support the
evaluation of IPV prevention strategies
by the CCRs. SDVCs must also
implement and with their
empowerment evaluators, evaluate
state-level IPV prevention strategies.
CDC seeks OMB approval to collect
information electronically from
awardees, their CCRs and their
empowerment evaluators. Information
will be collected using the DELTA
FOCUS Program Evaluation Survey
(referred to as DF Survey). The DF
survey will collect information about
SDVCs satisfaction with CDC efforts to
support them; process, program and
strategy implementation factors that
affect their ability to meet the
requirements of the Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA);
prevention knowledge and use of the
public health approach; and
sustainability of prevention activities
and successes.
Information collected through the DF
Survey will be used to guide program
improvements by CDC in the national
DELTA FOCUS program
implementation and program
improvements by SDVCs in
implementation of the program within
their state. Specifically the data
collection will allow the federal
government to assess: a) opportunities
and barriers to implementing the
DELTA FOCUS program at the state and
local levels, b) benefits and challenges
of focusing on prevention strategies at
the societal and community levels, and
c) what data informed program
improvements are needed. Not
collecting this data could result in
inappropriate implementation at the
national, state, and local levels. Thus,
this data collection is an essential
program evaluation activity.
The DF Survey will be completed by
10 SDVC executive directors, 10 SDVC
project coordinators, 19 CCR project
coordinators, and 10 SDVC
empowerment evaluators and take a
maximum of 1 hour to complete. We
expect for each SDVC there will be four
web-based surveys completed in the
first year (2013) of awardee activity.
CDC will analyze, interpret, translate,
and disseminate the survey findings in
years two and three of the information
collection request. The total estimated
annualized burden for the proposed 10
awardees is 44 hours. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.

Under section 520(m) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(m)), FDA is
authorized to exempt a humanitarian
use device (HUD) from the effectiveness
requirements in sections 514 and 515 of
the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360d and 360e)
provided that the device: (1) Is used to
treat or diagnose a disease or condition
that affects fewer than 4,000 individuals
in the United States; (2) would not be
available to a person with such a disease
or condition unless the exemption is
granted, and there is no comparable
device, other than another HUD
approved under this exemption,
available to treat or diagnose the disease
or condition; (3) the device will not
expose patients to an unreasonable or
significant risk of illness or injury; and
(4) the probable benefit to health from
using the device outweighs the risk of
injury or illness from its use, taking into
account the probable risks and benefits

of currently available devices or
alternative forms of treatment.
HUDs approved under an HDE cannot
be sold for an amount that exceeds the
costs of research and development,
fabrication, and distribution of the
device (i.e., for profit), except in narrow
circumstances. Section 613 of the Food
and Drug Administration Safety and
Innovation Act (FDASIA) (Pub. L. 112–
144), signed into law on July 9, 2012,
amended section 520(m) of the FD&C
Act. Under section 520(m)(6)(A)(i) of the
FD&C Act, as amended by FDASIA, a
HUD approved under an HDE is eligible
to be sold for profit if the device meets
the following criteria:
• The device is intended for the
treatment or diagnosis of a disease or
condition that occurs in pediatric
patients or in a pediatric subpopulation,
and such device is labeled for use in
pediatric patients or in a pediatric
subpopulation in which the disease or
condition occurs; or
• the device is intended for the
treatment or diagnosis of a disease or
condition that does not occur in
pediatric patients or that occurs in
pediatric patients in such numbers that
the development of the device for such
patients is impossible, highly
impracticable, or unsafe.
Section 520(m)(6)(A)(ii) of the FD&C
Act, as amended by FDASIA, provides
that the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (the Secretary) will assign an
ADN for devices that meet the eligibility
criteria to be permitted to be sold for
profit. The ADN is defined as the
number of devices ‘‘reasonably needed
to treat, diagnose, or cure a population
of 4,000 individuals in the United
States,’’ and therefore shall be based on
the following information in a HDE
application: The number of devices
reasonably necessary to treat such
individuals.

Proposed Project
DELTA FOCUS Program Evaluation--New--National Center for Injury

Background and Brief Description
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a serious, preventable public
health problem that affects millions of Americans and results in
serious consequences for victims, families, and communities. IPV occurs
between two people in a close relationship. The term ``intimate

ways, including long-term health problems, emotional impacts, and links
to negative health behaviors. IPV exists along a continuum from a
single episode of violence to ongoing battering; many victims do not
report IPV to police, friends, or family.
Primary prevention means stopping IPV before it occurs. In 2002,
authorized by the Family Violence Prevention Services Act (FVPSA), CDC
developed the Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancements and Leadership
Through Alliances (DELTA) Program, with a focus on the primary
prevention of IPV. Since that time, The DELTA Program has funded state
domestic violence coalitions (SDVCs) to engage in statewide primary
prevention efforts and to provide training, technical assistance, and
financial support to local communities for local primary prevention
efforts. DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and
Leadership through Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for Communities
United with States) builds on that history by providing focused funding
to states and communities for intensive implementation and evaluation
of IPV primary prevention strategies that address the structural
determinants of health at the societal and community levels of the

The purpose of the DELTA FOCUS program is to promote the prevention

coalitions (referred to as coordinated community responses or CCRs)
that are already engaging in, or are at capacity to engage in, IPV
primary prevention strategies affecting the structural determinants of

facilitate and support local-level implementation and hire empowerment
evaluators to support the evaluation of IPV prevention strategies by

CDC seeks OMB approval to collect information electronically from

Information collected through the DF Survey will be used to guide
program improvements by CDC in the national DELTA FOCUS program
implementation and program improvements by SDVCs in implementation of
the program within their state. Specifically the data collection will
allow the federal government to assess: a) opportunities and barriers

b) benefits and challenges of focusing on prevention strategies at the

improvements are needed. Not collecting this data could result in
inappropriate implementation at the national, state, and local levels.
Thus, this data collection is an essential program evaluation activity.
The DF Survey will be completed by 10 SDVC executive directors, 10
SDVC project coordinators, 19 CCR project coordinators, and 10 SDVC
empowerment evaluators and take a maximum of 1 hour to complete. We
expect for each SDVC there will be four web-based surveys completed in
the first year (2013) of awardee activity. CDC will analyze, interpret,
translate, and disseminate the survey findings in years two and three
of the information collection request. The total estimated annualized
burden for the proposed 10 awardees is 44 hours. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
