Prevention, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) requests a 3-year OMB
approval to conduct a new information
collection entitled, ‘‘Promoting
Adolescent Health Through SchoolBased HIV/STD Prevention’’. The
proposed project is a semi-annual Webbased questionnaire to assess
programmatic activities among funded
agencies which include local education
agencies (LEA), state education agencies
(SEA), and non-governmental
organizations (NGO) funded by the
Division of Adolescent and School
Health (DASH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Currently, the questionnaires are the
only standardized reporting process for
HIV/STD prevention activities among
LEAs, SEAs, and NGOs funded by
DASH. The data being gathered via the
nine questionnaires: (1) Provides
standardized information about how
HIV/STD prevention funds are used by
funded agencies; (2) provides
descriptive and process information
about program activities; and (3)
provides greater accountability for use
of public funds. The questionnaires are
completed by the funded agencies on a
Web site managed by DASH and its
contractor, Karna. The questionnaires
are to be completed on a semi-annual
basis.
The questionnaires pertain to the
approaches that funded agencies are
using to meet their goals. Approaches
include helping districts and schools
deliver exemplary sexual health
education (ESHE) emphasizing HIV and
other STD prevention; increasing
adolescent access to key sexual health
services (SHS); and establishing safe
and supportive environments (SSE) for
students and staff.
There are a total of nine
questionnaires that are included in the
burden table below. Each SEA will be
completing activities for all approaches.
Therefore, each SEA will complete a
questionnaire for each approach (ESHE,
SHS, and SSE). Likewise, each LEA will
be completing activities for all
approaches. Therefore, each LEA will
complete a questionnaire for each
approach (ESHE, SHS, and SSE). Each
NGO will respond to the questionnaire
for the approach they are implementing
in support of SEAs or LEAs. Two NGOs
will respond to the ESHE questionnaire,
two NGOs will respond to the SHS
questionnaire, and two NGOs will
respond to the SSE questionnaire.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The estimated
annualized burden for all funded
agencies is 820 hours.

Proposed Project
Returning Our Veterans to
Employment and Reintegration
(ROVER): Work Stress and Assistance
Animals—New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Veterans with chronic posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) face barriers that
prevent many of them from successfully
reintegrating into society and returning
to the work force. Various reports claim
that higher unemployment rates and
increased healthcare costs and
utilization are associated with PTSD.
Symptoms associated with PTSD
include diminished interest or
participation in significant activities,
feelings of detachment or estrangement
from others, difficulty falling or staying

asleep, hyper vigilance, exaggerated
startle response, difficulty with
concentration or attention, and a
restricted range of affect. Amelioration
of PTSD symptoms is necessary to
facilitate reintegration of veterans into
society and the workforce; these benefits
may also contribute positively to
veterans’ overall physical and
psychological health.
A review of mostly anecdotal
evidence suggests that animal-assisted
interventions may have general
therapeutic benefits for individuals with
PTSD. Although a few reports tout the
benefits of human-animal
companionship, no studies have
focused specifically on investigating the
elements of human-animal interactions
that might be therapeutic for individuals
with PTSD or other stress-related
disorders. Furthermore, there is scant
evidence supporting the notion that
service dogs or therapy dogs may
directly improve functioning and,
thereby, ease an individual’s
reintegration into society and
employment.
NIOSH is seeking a 3-year approval
from OMB on a research study aimed at
understanding the benefits of humananimal interactions for the purpose of
facilitating the reintegration and
employment of veterans with PTSD. The
efficacy of using service dogs or other
types of assistance dogs to help veterans
with disabilities return to work has not
been established in well-controlled
scientific studies, and fundamental
empirical evidence is scant. As a step
toward a greater understanding, a
laboratory-based work-simulation study
will be conducted to investigate the
influence of the presence of and
interactions with a dog on the reactivity
and performance of veterans with and
without PTSD to work-related and
startle stressors. Results of the
laboratory-based study will complement
the findings of another project (OMB
No. 09200985), which is gathering
information about veterans perceptions
