Proposed Project WISEWOMAN National Program Evaluation—New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The CDC has supported the WISEWOMAN program (Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation) since 1995. The WISEWOMAN program is designed to serve low-income women ages 40–64 who have elevated risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and have no health insurance, or are underinsured for medical and preventive care services. Through the WISEWOMAN program, women have access to screening services for selected CVD risk factors such as elevated blood cholesterol, hypertension, and abnormal blood glucose levels; referrals to lifestyle programs; and referrals to medical care. WISEWOMAN participants must be co-enrolled in the CDC-sponsored National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). The WISEWOMAN program is administered through cooperative agreements with state, territorial, or tribal health departments. At present, approximately two-thirds of program funding is provided by CDC with the other one-third supplied by the state, territory, or tribal organization. Each WISEWOMAN awardee submits to CDC PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Average burden per response (in hours) Number of respondents Type of respondent Number of responses per respondent 35 150 220 1 1 1 30/60 30/60 30/60 973 20,077 1 1 15/60 45/60 an annual progress report that describes program objectives and activities, and semi-annual data reports (known as minimum data elements, or MDE) on the screening, assessment, and lifestyle program services offered to women who participate in the program (see WISEWOMAN Reporting System, OMB No. 0920–0612, exp. 12/31/2016). Participant-level MDE are de-identified prior to transmission to CDC. In 2013, CDC released the fourth funding opportunity announcement (FOA) for the WISEWOMAN program (DP13–1302), which resulted in fouryear cooperative agreements with 22 state, territorial, and tribal health departments, including 5 new and 17 continuing awardees from the previous FOA. Key program elements were retained (e.g., provision of screening services, promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviors, and linkage to community resources), but a number of changes were incorporated into the program at that time due to shifts in populations, systems, and community needs. The current FOA reflects increased emphasis on improving access to clinical systems of care and increased emphasis on leveraging existing resources in the community. Lifestyle interventions have also been reframed to include lifestyle programs and health coaching sessions, and MDE have been updated to capture information about risk reduction counseling and participants’ readiness to change. The current cooperative agreement also stresses monitoring and performance evaluation as key program dimensions. Additionally, more information is needed to augment that from previous evaluation efforts. CDC seeks to conduct a one-time, multi-component evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the program on individual-, organizational-, and community-level outcomes. The indepth assessment is designed to complement the routine progress and MDE information already being collected from WISEWOMAN program awardees. The new data collection will focus on obtaining qualitative and E:\FR\FM\15DEN1.SGM 15DEN1 74098 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 240 / Monday, December 15, 2014 / Notices quantitative information at the organizational and community levels about process and procedures implemented, and barriers, facilitators, and other contextual factors that affect program implementation and participant outcomes. Data collection activities will include a Program Survey with all WISEWOMAN awardee programs, administered in the second and fourth program years; a Network Survey of WISEWOMAN awardees and partner organizations, also conducted in the second and fourth program years; and a one-time Site Visit to a subset of awardees across the second to fourth program years. During site visits, semistructured discussions will be conducted with WISEWOMAN staff and partner members who serve in diverse roles and are positioned to provide a variety of perspectives on program implementation. OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 132.

Background and Brief Description NIOSH, under Pub. L. 91–596, Sections 20 and 22 (Section 20–22, Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1977) has the responsibility to conduct research relating to innovative methods, techniques, and approaches dealing with occupational safety and health problems. This project seeks to understand the best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining a robust risk management system (i.e. health and safety management system [HSMS]). Researchers suggest that an HSMS requires considerable knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies from all individuals within an organization as well as focused and purposeful coordination between them. Previous research considered the sheer number of possible choices to be a barrier to HSMS adoption. Therefore, NIOSH began to understand what the most fundamentally important elements were that support the development, implementation and maintenance of a comprehensive, effective risk-based HSMS. NIOSH surveyed practicing health and safety executives, managers, and professionals from a variety of mining commodities to determine if they agreed on which HSMS elements and practices were most important. The results of this study suggested that the following areas require consistent focus and attention: Leadership Development; Accountability; Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Development; System Coordination; Culture Enhancement; E:\FR\FM\15DEN1.SGM 15DEN1

Proposed Project

    WISEWOMAN National Program Evaluation--New--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The CDC has supported the WISEWOMAN program (Well-Integrated 
Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation) since 1995. The 
WISEWOMAN program is designed to serve low-income women ages 40-64 who 
have elevated risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and have no 
health insurance, or are underinsured for medical and preventive care 
services. Through the WISEWOMAN program, women have access to screening 
services for selected CVD risk factors such as elevated blood 
cholesterol, hypertension, and abnormal blood glucose levels; referrals 
to lifestyle programs; and referrals to medical care. WISEWOMAN 
participants must be co-enrolled in the CDC-sponsored National Breast 
and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP).
    The WISEWOMAN program is administered through cooperative 
agreements with state, territorial, or tribal health departments. At 
present, approximately two-thirds of program funding is provided by CDC 
with the other one-third supplied by the state, territory, or tribal 
organization. Each WISEWOMAN awardee submits to CDC an annual progress 
report that describes program objectives and activities, and semi-
annual data reports (known as minimum data elements, or MDE) on the 
screening, assessment, and lifestyle program services offered to women 
who participate in the program (see WISEWOMAN Reporting System, OMB No. 
0920-0612, exp. 12/31/2016). Participant-level MDE are de-identified 
prior to transmission to CDC.
    In 2013, CDC released the fourth funding opportunity announcement 
(FOA) for the WISEWOMAN program (DP13-1302), which resulted in four-
year cooperative agreements with 22 state, territorial, and tribal 
health departments, including 5 new and 17 continuing awardees from the 
previous FOA. Key program elements were retained (e.g., provision of 
screening services, promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviors, and 
linkage to community resources), but a number of changes were 
incorporated into the program at that time due to shifts in 
populations, systems, and community needs. The current FOA reflects 
increased emphasis on improving access to clinical systems of care and 
increased emphasis on leveraging existing resources in the community. 
Lifestyle interventions have also been reframed to include lifestyle 
programs and health coaching sessions, and MDE have been updated to 
capture information about risk reduction counseling and participants' 
readiness to change. The current cooperative agreement also stresses 
monitoring and performance evaluation as key program dimensions. 
Additionally, more information is needed to augment that from previous 
evaluation efforts.
    CDC seeks to conduct a one-time, multi-component evaluation to 
assess the effectiveness of the program on individual-, organizational-
, and community-level outcomes. The in-depth assessment is designed to 
complement the routine progress and MDE information already being 
collected from WISEWOMAN program awardees. The new data collection will 
focus on obtaining qualitative and

quantitative information at the organizational and community levels 
about process and procedures implemented, and barriers, facilitators, 
and other contextual factors that affect program implementation and 
participant outcomes. Data collection activities will include a Program 
Survey with all WISEWOMAN awardee programs, administered in the second 
and fourth program years; a Network Survey of WISEWOMAN awardees and 
partner organizations, also conducted in the second and fourth program 
years; and a one-time Site Visit to a subset of awardees across the 
second to fourth program years. During site visits, semi-structured 
discussions will be conducted with WISEWOMAN staff and partner members 
who serve in diverse roles and are positioned to provide a variety of 
perspectives on program implementation.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is 
voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. 
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 132.
