Proposed Project
Public Health Systems, Mental Health
and Community Recovery—New—
Office of Public Health Preparedness
and Response, Division of State and
Local Readiness, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This project stems from, and aligns
with, publication of the Office of Public
Health Preparedness and Response’s
(OPHPR) ‘‘National Strategic Plan for
Public Health Preparedness and
Response’’ which provides overall
direction for Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention’s (CDC) preparedness
and response portfolio, including
programmatic direction across OPHPR’s
four divisions. The focus of this project
is to generate findings useful for future
preparedness planning and response in
order to develop strategies and
interventions aimed at mitigating the
impact of adverse events. In April 2011,
one of the largest tornado outbreaks ever
recorded, a ‘‘Super Outbreak,’’ occurred
in the southeastern United States,
resulting in more than 300 deaths and
an estimated $11 million in damages.
This large-scale multistate tragedy offers
a unique opportunity to study how
communities with similar cultural and
geographic features yet different public
health and mental health emergency
response systems could provide access
to care around the same crisis. The
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
outcomes of these efforts can inform the
field of what effect these differences had
on the recovery patterns of each of these
communities. By doing so, we can begin
to elucidate best practices for robust
community preparedness and recovery
with attention to types of services that
most effectively promote the natural
resilience of survivors. Two primary
research questions will guide the
proposed study:
1. How did the Alabama and
Mississippi State and local public
health and mental health (PH/MH)
systems prepare for, respond to, and
support recovery after the April 2011
tornados?
2. To what extent have these
communities recovered and what is the
overall health and quality of life of
individuals affected by these events?
CDC requests Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval to collect
information for two years.
To address these questions, CDC, in
collaboration with ICF International,
will conduct a mixed method evaluation
utilizing key informant interviews of
public health and mental health agency
staff and other community
representatives at the local, county and
State levels and household survey data
in each of the four regions in
Mississippi and Alabama to assess
community recovery and resilience.
Specifically, the study design includes
two main components (qualitative and
quantitative) designed to
comprehensively examine the PH/MH
system response to and community
recovery and resilience from disasters.
The total estimated burden for the 98
one-time qualitative interviews for
public health/mental health
professionals and community leaders is
98 hours (98 respondents × 1 hour/
response). Interviews will be conducted
during an in-person site-visit to the
region to reduce travel and time burdens
on the respondents. Respondents unable
to participate during the site visit may
participate via telephone. In addition,
the total estimated burden for the
quantitative computer-assisted
interviews are based on 860 respondents
in each of the four tornado effected
regions; each survey will be
approximately 25 minutes (4 counties ×
860 respondents = 3,440 respondents;

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 82 / Monday, April 29, 2013 / Notices
3,440 respondents × 25/60 minutes =
1,433 hours). In total, this will be
approximately 1,531 hours.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
