Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
plans to conduct a study to improve
understanding of the reasons that
individuals do not get screened for
colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC is the
second leading cause of cancer related
death in the U.S. and early screening
can prevent deaths, but screening rates
are low. Screening for CRC is
recommended for adults starting at age
50. However, as of 2008, only 62.9% of
adults aged 50–75 years were screened
as recommended.
CDC requests OMB approval to pretest
and field the Colorectal Cancer
Screening Survey, which will collect
information on individuals’ preferences
for different characteristics of CRC
screening tests; and how these
preferences are affected by CRC risk
perceptions, real-life experiences with
CRC screening, and exposure to two
different fact sheets on CRC screening.
Information collection will involve a
Web-based survey. Preferences for
screening tests with different attributes
will be measured using the statedpreference discrete choice experiment
(DCE) survey approach (also known as
conjoint analysis). The DCE format
presents respondents with choices
between hypothetical CRC tests that
vary along key attributes. The attributes
that will be assessed for CRC screening
tests are: (1) What the test can find, (2)
how often an individual can take the
test, (3) whether the test can remove
cancer and polyps (4) preparation before
the test, (5), discomfort and activity
limitations during and after the test, and
(6) cost of the test. Results will be
analyzed to quantify the rate at which
respondents are willing to trade-off one
attribute for another and to rank the
PO 00000

importance of attributes and changes in
attribute levels. The DCE questions will
include the choice of not getting a test
to explore the factors that influence the
desire to get screening tests. The impact
of respondent risk perceptions and
experience with CRC screening on
preferences for CRC screening tests and
willingness to get a test in the future
will be tested.
The survey will also collect
information to measure the impact of
selected educational materials on
preferences for CRC screening tests.
Each respondent will be randomly
assigned to one of three information
treatments: (1) A control group that
receives no additional information
about CRC screening, (2) a treatment
group that receives a ‘‘No Excuses’’
educational flyer designed to dispel
many common reasons for not getting a
colonoscopy, or (3) a treatment group
that receives a two-page Fact Sheet
about CRC and screening options. The
flyer and fact sheet were developed in
conjunction with CDC’s Screen for Life
program.
Information will be collected
primarily from a sample of 2,000 adults
aged 50–75 through a Web-based survey
administered by GfK Knowledge
Networks (KN). The estimated burden
per response is 22–25 minutes.
Respondents will be randomly selected
from the KN KnowledgePanel®. A pretest of study procedures will be
conducted prior to initiating the main
study.
CDC is authorized to conduct this
information collection under the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241)
Section 301. Results from this study will
enhance understanding of public
preferences for CRC screening tests, and
the impact of education materials, risk
perceptions, and real-life experiences on
CRC screening preferences. Such
information will help CDC and other
public health policy makers to design,
develop, and implement more effective
programs to improve rates of CRC
screening among average risk
individuals.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
burden hours are 812.

Proposed Project
Taxi Driver Survey on Motor Vehicle
Safety and Workplace Violence (or, Taxi
Driver Survey)—New—National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Under the Public Law 91–596
(Section 20[a][1]), the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is tasked with conducting
research relating to occupational safety
and health. There are two types of workrelated events that are the
overwhelming cause of injury and death
among taxicab drivers: Transportationrelated events (almost exclusively
highway-related) and workplace
violence.
In the United States, motor vehicle
crashes remain the leading cause of
occupational fatalities and continue to
be a leading cause of occupational
nonfatal injuries. In 1998–2002, workers
in the ‘‘Taxi Services’’ industry had the
highest rate of nonfatal motor vehiclerelated injuries treated in emergency
departments (86 per 10,000 FTEs).
Moreover, 134 of the 423 (32%)
fatalities 2003–2010 in the ‘‘Taxi and
limousine services’’ industry resulted
from a motor vehicle crash.

Workers, who operate light motor
vehicles as their primary job, including
taxi drivers, are an inadequately studied
population. There are few reports
describing the population of workers
driving light motor vehicles, their
driving patterns, or their driving
behaviors. The road safety component of
the proposed study would provide new
scientific knowledge of a well-defined
occupation whose primary job is to
operate a taxi cab at any time of day
under numerous road and traffic
conditions. Motor vehicle safety
findings from this survey will be
disseminated globally to municipal
transportation regulators through an
established network.
Workplace violence continues to
contribute substantially to the public
health burden of both nonfatal and fatal
injury outcomes. The proposed study
would have a workplace violence
section in the survey that would allow
the evaluation of the major types of
safety equipment on rates of workplace
violence incidents and events at the
individual level (taxicab drivers).
The proposed study goals are to: (1)
Describe the occurrence of motor
vehicle events among taxicab drivers,
(2) describe the risk factors of motor
vehicle events among taxicab drivers,
and (3) evaluate events of workplace
violence among taxicab drivers. In order
to accomplish the study goals, the
corresponding study objectives are: (a)
To enumerate the occurrence of motor
vehicle crashes among taxicab drivers,
(b) identify and describe the risk factors
and protective factors associated with
road safety among taxicab drivers, and
(c) compare workplace violence events
over a twelve-month period among
taxicab drivers by type of safety
equipment installed in taxicab.
Findings from the study will be used
to develop future prevention initiatives
for reducing work-related motor vehicle
crashes. These prevention initiatives,
such as reducing driver fatigue through
shift work limitations, may take the
form of municipal ordinances
