Proposed Project
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to
Community Health (REACH)
Demonstration Projects: Evaluation
Study—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In the United States, chronic
conditions such as heart disease, obesity
and diabetes are among the leading
causes of death and disability. The
devastating effects of these conditions
can be reduced by adopting healthy
behaviors such as eating nutritious
foods, being physically active and
avoiding tobacco use.
CDC has supported a variety of
programs aimed at promoting
evidenced-based strategies to improve
public health. However, despite
indications of progress in overall
population health, disparities in health
status persist for many minority groups.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 221 / Friday, November 15, 2013 / Notices
In fiscal year 2012, CDC received
Affordable Care Act (ACA) funding to
support Racial and Ethnic Approaches
to Community Health (REACH)
demonstration projects in two sites
(Boston, Massachusetts, and Los
Angeles, California). The sites are
implementing culturally-tailored policy,
systems, and environmental (PSE)
strategies aimed at reducing rates of
obesity and hypertension, and
promoting health equity.
CDC plans to assess the effectiveness
of the REACH demonstration projects
through the ‘‘REACH Demonstration
Projects: Evaluation Study (RES).’’ The
RES is designed to examine the health
impact of PSE strategies for promoting
health. As required by the ACA, the
evaluation will specifically assess
changes in weight, proper nutrition,
physical activity, tobacco use
prevalence, and emotional well-being.
Information collected for the RES will
consist of targeted surveillance data,
biometric measures, and information
about health and life style decision
making at the REACH demonstration
program sites and one non-intervention
comparison site (Atlanta, Georgia).
Information will also be collected about
key cultural and contextual factors that
affect health and lifestyle decisionmaking. This information will provide
insights about the barriers and
facilitators that affect the adoption of
healthy behaviors.
The specific aims of the RES include
the following: (1) Examine trends of risk
factors for chronic disease using
behavioral and biometric indicators. (2)
(OMB) No. 0920–0977, exp. 8/31/2016).
For the RES, a Health and Lifestyle
Decision-Making domain has been
added to the Adult Targeted
Surveillance Survey (ATSS) to assess
individual change in health-related
behavior and lifestyle. The Health and
Lifestyle Decision-Making domain was
developed by an expert panel that
convened to conceptualize and
operationalize the survey items based
on the literature and existing
instruments.
The RES will enable CDC to compare
data across the three sites at two time
periods and to use these data for
comparisons with other sources of
information, such as state-based
behavioral risk factor surveys and the
National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES, OMB
No. 0920–0237, exp. 10/31/2013). In
addition, the added REACH
Demonstration health and lifestyle
decision-making domain will identify
key contextual factors, such as
perceived discrimination, perceived
neighborhood safety, mistrust, and other
concerns or issues that could potentially
serve as mediating and moderating
variables that impact health and
lifestyle decisions.
The study will use computer-assisted
personal interviewing technology. The
names of respondents will not be
included in any data sets or reports
prepared from this project. Office of
Management and Budget approval is
requested for two years. Participation is
voluntary, and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
Examine the reduction in health
disparities within targeted populations
for obesity and hypertension. (3)
Identify factors that contribute to the
decision-making process for individual
change in health-related behavior and
lifestyle change through the REACH
health and lifestyle decision-making
domain (HD).
The RES uses a cross-sectional design
and will be conducted over a period of
two years, collecting survey and
biometric data in two cycles of data
collection approximately 12 to 15
months apart. Respondents will be
representative samples of adults who
are 18 years of age or older, and youths
between the ages of 9 and 17 years of
age, who reside in the two REACH
Demonstration sites or the comparison
site. An address-based sampling (ABS)
approach will be used to select the
sample for each site. The sampling
design will oversample households
containing Black and Hispanic persons
(targeted populations) and youths. For
each REACH demonstration site, this
will result in a sample of up to 1,800
adults and 400 youths for each cycle of
data collection. The sample for the
comparison site will consist of 2,400
adults and 800 youth for each cycle of
data collection.
The information collection plan and
instruments for the RES are modeled on
the instruments and procedures
developed by CDC for Community
Transformation Grant (CTG) awardees

Proposed Project
Resources and Services for the CDC
National Prevention Information
Network—Revision—National Center
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, &
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP) proposes to continue data
collection for the Resources and
Services Database of the CDC National
Prevention Information Network and is
requesting a 3-year approval of this
revised information collection request
(ICR).
The CDC, NCHHSTP program has the
primary responsibility within the CDC
and the U.S. Public Health Service for
the prevention and control of HIV
infection, viral hepatitis, sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs), and
tuberculosis (TB), as well as for
community-based HIV prevention
activities, syphilis and TB elimination
programs. To support NCHHSTP’s
mission and to link Americans to
prevention, education, and care
services, the CDC National Prevention
Information Network (NPIN) serves as
the U.S. reference, referral, and
distribution service for information on
HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and
TB. NPIN is a critical member of the
network of government agencies,
community organizations, businesses,
health professionals, educators, and
human services providers that educate
the American public about the grave
threat to public health posed by HIV/
AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB, and
provides services for persons infected
with human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV).
Established in 1988, the NPIN
Resources and Services Database
contains entries on approximately 9,000
organizations and is the most
comprehensive listing of HIV/AIDS,
STD and TB resources and services
available throughout the country. This
database describes national, state and
local organizations that provide services
related to HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis,
STDs, and TB, services such as
counseling and testing, prevention,
education and support. The NPIN
reference staff relies on the Resources
and Services Database to respond to
thousands of requests each year for
information or referral from community
based organizations, state and local
health departments, and health
professionals working in HIV/AIDS,
STD and TB prevention. The CDC–INFO
(formerly the CDC National AIDS
Hotline) staff also uses the NPIN
Resources and Services Database to refer
up to 110,000 callers each year to local
programs for information, services, and
treatment. The American public can
also access the NPIN Resources and
Services database through the NPIN
Web site. More than 56 million hits by
the public to the Web site are recorded
annually.
A representative from each new
organization identified will be
administered the resource organization
questionnaire via the telephone.
Representatives may include registered
nurses, social and community service
managers, health educators, or social
and human service assistants. As part of
the verification process for
organizations currently included in the
Resources and Services Database, about
33 percent of the organization’s
representatives will receive a copy of
their current database entry by
electronic mail, including an
introductory message and a list of
instructions. The remaining 70 percent
will receive a telephone call to review
their database record. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annual burden
hours are 1,882.
