In the United States, chronic diseases
such as heart disease, obesity and
diabetes are among the leading causes of
death and disability. Although chronic
diseases are among the most common
and costly health problems, they are
also among the most preventable.
Adopting healthy behaviors—such as
eating nutritious foods, being physically
active and avoiding tobacco use—can
prevent the devastating effects and
reduce the rates of these diseases.
Employers are recognizing the role
they can play in creating healthy work
environments and providing employees
with opportunities to make healthy
lifestyle choices. To support these
efforts, the Centers for Disease Control
PO 00000

and Prevention (CDC) plans to offer a
comprehensive workplace health
training program called Work@Health.
The Work@Health Program is
authorized by the Public Health Service
Act and funded through the Prevention
and Public Health Fund of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA). The Work@Health curriculum
will be based on a problem-solving
approach to improving employer
knowledge and skills related to
effective, science-based workplace
health programs, and supporting the
adoption of these programs in the
workplace. Topics to be covered in the
Work@Health curriculum include
principles, strategies, and tools for
leadership engagement; how to make a
business case for workplace health
programs; how to assess the needs of
organizations and individual
employees; how to plan, implement,
and evaluate sustainable workplace
health programs; and how to partner
with community organizations for
additional support.
The Work@Health Program will be
implemented in two phases. In Phase 1,
CDC will conduct an employer needs
assessment, develop training models,
and conduct pilot training and
evaluation with approximately 72
employers and other organizations. In
Phase 2, CDC will transition to full-scale
program implementation and evaluation
involving approximately 600 employers
and other organizations.
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
initiate Phase 1 information collection
in summer 2013. A one-time Training
Needs Assessment Survey will be
administered electronically to 200
employers representing small, mid-size,
and large businesses from various
industry sectors and geographic locales.
The needs assessment survey will allow
CDC to assess employer preferences
with respect to curriculum content, the
types of support materials needed by
employers and the appropriate level of
detail for these materials, and the best
approaches for providing technical
assistance to employers. The estimated
E:\FR\FM\16MYN1.SGM

28851
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 95 / Thursday, May 16, 2013 / Notices
burden per response for the needs
assessment survey is 20 minutes.
The results of the needs assessment
will inform the development of the
Work@Health training curriculum and
delivery methods. CDC anticipates that
training will be offered in four models
(formats): (1) A ‘‘Hands-on’’ instructorled workshop model (T1), (2) a selfpaced ‘‘Online’’ model (T2), (3) a
combination or ‘‘Blended’’ model (T3),
and (4) a ‘‘Train-the-Trainer’’ model
(T4) designed to prepare qualified
individuals to train employers through
the Hands-on, Online, or Blended
models.
Employers who are interested in
participating in Work@Health training
will be asked to complete a Pilot
Employer Application Form. To be
eligible for the T1–T3 pilot trainings,
employers must have a minimum of 30
employees, a valid business license, and
completion of the pilot training, each
participant will be asked to complete a
15–20 minute evaluation survey. The
customized survey questions will allow
CDC to assess respondent satisfaction
with the procedures, methods, content
and strategies employed in each
workplace health training model. The
information collected in the pilot
training evaluation surveys will inform
future modifications and improvements
to the training based on employers’
experiences, needs, and
recommendations. Only the evaluation
survey for the Online model pilot will
be the administered electronically, all
others will be paper/pencil surveys.
Participation is voluntary and there
are no costs to participants other than
their time. A separate information
collection request will be submitted to
obtain OMB approval for Phase 2
information collection.
have been in business for at least one
year. In addition, they must offer health
insurance to their employees and have
minimal workplace health program
knowledge and experience. To be
eligible for the T4 training model,
applicants may be employers, health
departments, business coalitions, trade
associations, or other organizations.
Participants in the T4 training must
have previous knowledge, training and
experience with workplace health
programs, and an interest in becoming
facilitators for the Work@Health
program.
CDC anticipates the receipt of
approximately 400 applications. CDC
will use the application information to
select 72 respondents for Phase 1 pilot
training and evaluation activities (18
respondents per model). Three-fourths
of these individuals will represent small
and mid-size employers. Upon
