Proposed Project
State and Local Area Integrated
Telephone Survey (SLAITS) (The
National Survey of the Diagnosis and
Treatment of Attention Deficit/
Hyperactivity Disorder and Tourette
Syndrome) (NS–DATA), (OMB No.
0920–0406, Expiration 04/30/2014)—
Discretionary—National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States. This discretionary
submission is to notify the public of a
request to initiate another project within
the SLAITS mechanism.
SLAITS is an integrated and
coordinated survey system that has been
conducted since 1997, in accordance
with the 1995 initiative to increase the
integration of surveys within DHHS. It
is designed to collect needed health and
well-being data at the national, state,
and local levels. Using the large
sampling frame of the ongoing National
Immunization Survey (NIS) and
Computer Assisted Telephone
Interviewing (CATI), and when
necessary independent samples, mail,
and Internet modes to support data
collection activities, SLAITS has
quickly collected and produced
household and person-level data to
monitor health-related areas.
Questionnaire content is drawn from
existing surveys within DHHS and other
Federal agencies, or developed
specifically to meet project sponsor
needs.
This project consists of a national
survey designed to collect information
about families with children who have
previously been diagnosed with either
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) and/or Tourette Syndrome (TS).
The primary goal of the study is to
describe the various pathways to
diagnosis and treatments for children
diagnosed with either condition. The
survey contains questions on diagnosis
history, the presence of co-occurring
disorders, medication and treatment
usage, as well as academic performance
and symptom measures.
Approximately 3,700 parents or
guardians of children previously
diagnosed with ADHD and/or TS
located throughout the United States
will be interviewed. The annual burden
hours requested is 1,850 hours or 0.5
hours per respondent. The annualized
cost to respondents is estimated at
$38,850 or $10.50 per respondent.

Proposed Project
Enhanced Utilization of Personal Dust
Monitor Feedback—New—National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Background and Brief Description
NIOSH, under Public Law 91–596,
Sections 20 and 22 (Section 20–22,
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970) has the responsibility to conduct
research relating to innovative methods,
techniques, and approaches dealing
with occupational safety and health
problems.
This research relates to occupational
safety and health problems in the coal
mining industry. Coal Workers’
Pneumoconiosis (CWP) or ‘‘Black Lung
Disease,’’ caused by miners’ exposure to
respirable coal mine dust, is the leading
cause of death due to occupational
illness among U.S. coal miners.
Although the prevalence of CWP was
steadily decreasing, more recent data
from NIOSH’s chest x-ray surveillance
data suggests that the prevalence of this
disease is on the rise once again.
A Personal Dust Monitor (PDM) has
become commercially available that
provides miners with near real-time
feedback on their exposure to respirable
dust. If miners and mine managers

know how to properly use the
information provided by PDMs, they
may be able to make adjustments to the
work place and work procedures to try
to reduce exposure to respirable dust. It
is, therefore, important to study how,
and under what circumstances,
feedback from PDMs can be used to
reduce respirable dust exposure and
ultimately the incidence of Black Lung
disease.
The objectives of the project are (1) to
test an intervention designed to help
miners use PDM feedback more
effectively to reduce their exposure to
respirable dust and (2) to document
specific examples of ways that miners
can use PDM feedback to alter their
behaviors to decrease their exposure to
respirable dust while working
underground.
NIOSH proposes an intervention to
lower miners’ respirable dust exposure
levels by involving them in the
interpretation of PDM feedback and the
discussion of ways to change their
behaviors to decrease exposure to
respirable dust. Upon completion of a
pilot test, four underground coal mines
will be involved in this research study.
Miners who wear PDMs will be assigned
to two groups, an experimental group
and a control group. An effort will be
made to recruit two mines that are
currently using PDMs and two mines
that have not used PDMs in the past.
Large mines will be contacted for
participation to make sure that there
will be enough individuals wearing
PDMs to create both an experimental
group and a control group and to allow
participants in the experimental group
to form sub-groups during the weekly
meetings based on their job
classification. The PDM feedback
discussions will be held weekly during
the course of the six-week intervention
period. Each session is expected to last
for 45 minutes (15 minutes to fill out the
worksheet and 30 minutes for the
discussion). To control for unintended
‘‘discussion’’ between the control and
experimental groups, selection of mine
sites will favor mines where separate
portals are used or where sister mines
within the same company are located
near one another.
For miners in the experimental group,
data will be collected multiple times
during the six-week intervention period.
For miners in the control group, data
will only be collected at the beginning
and end of the intervention period. The
assessment tools include: Surveys,
worksheets, and structured interviews.
The experimental groups will receive
the intervention which will include (1)
an introduction to the project, (2) a pretest concerning miners’ attitude,

knowledge, and behaviors toward PDM
use, (3) a six-week intervention where
PDM feedback is discussed in weekly
meetings and worksheets are collected
from mine personnel about their
behaviors the previous week, and (4) a
post-test concerning miners’ attitude,
knowledge, and behaviors toward PDM
use and interviews of participants to
identify changes in behaviors that were
implemented to reduce respirable dust
exposure. The control group will wear
their PDM units when they are working
underground but will not participate in
weekly meetings. They will only
complete the pre- and post-test and be
interviewed upon completion of the
intervention period.
The operators at each mine will
provide daily respirable coal mine dust
exposures levels (as measured by their
PDMs) for all of the participating
miners. They will provide their PDM
output at the end of each participating
miners’ shift each day during the
intervention for a total of 42 days. In
addition, they will provide output for
each participant for the three days prior
to the intervention to establish a
baseline measure. Therefore, NIOSH
researchers will receive a total of 45
dust output readings for each
participant. There is already a software
program in place that electronically
records these exposure levels and
exports them to a spreadsheet that each
mine site can open on a computer that
has the appropriate software. It is
estimated it will take no more than 5
minutes for the mine operator to remove
any identifying information from the
excel file and just send NIOSH the PDM
number and dust output associated with
that PDM in a new excel file.
It is estimated that across the 1 pilot
mine and 4 intervention mines, up to
209 respondents will be surveyed; up to
109 will complete weekly worksheets;
up to 49 respondents will be
interviewed; and we will receive PDM
output from up to 209 respondents. An
exact number of respondents are
unavailable at this time because the
mine sites have not been selected.
After all of the information has been
gathered, a variety of statistical and
qualitative analyses will be conducted
on the data to obtain conclusions with
respect to miners’ utilization of PDM
feedback. The results from these
analyses will be presented in a report
describing what methods encourage
miners to make behavior changes in
response to their PDM output and what
behavior changes work best at reducing
miners’ exposure to respirable dust. If
the intervention is successful in
reducing respirable coal mine dust
exposure, details of the intervention
