and referrals to treatment for cancers
detected. NBCCEDP awardees collect
patient-level screening and tracking data
to manage the program and clinical
services. A de-identified subset of data
on patient demographics, screening tests
and outcomes are reported by each
awardee to CDC twice per year.
CDC plans to request OMB approval
to collect MDE information for an
additional three years. There are no
changes to the currently approved
minimum data elements, electronic data
collection procedures, or the estimated
burden. Because NBCCEDP awardees
already collect and aggregate data at the
state, territory and tribal level, the
additional burden of submitting data to
CDC will be modest. CDC will use the
information to monitor and evaluate
NBCCEDP awardees; improve the
availability and quality of screening and
diagnostic services for underserved
women; develop outreach strategies for
women who are never or rarely screened
for breast and cervical cancer; report
program results to stakeholders
including Congress and other legislative
authorities; and inform program
planning and management.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520),
Federal agencies must obtain approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In
addition, the PRA also requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each new proposed
collection, each proposed extension of
existing collection of information, and
each reinstatement of previously
approved information collection before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, we are publishing this
notice of a proposed data collection as
described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to

Proposed Project
Formative Research and Tool
Development—Extension—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s, National Center for HIV/
AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP) requests
approval for an extension and a threeyear approval for its generic information
collection plan entitled ‘‘Formative
Research and Tool Development’’.
Project activities are designed to allow
CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP) to conduct formative
research information collection
activities used to inform many aspects
of surveillance, communications, health
promotion, and research project
development for NCHHSTP’s four
priority diseases (HIV/AIDS), sexually
transmitted diseases/infections (STD/
STI), viral hepatitis, tuberculosis
elimination (TB), and school and
adolescent health (DASH).
Formative research is the basis for
developing effective strategies including
communication channels, for
influencing behavior change. It helps
researchers identify and understand the
characteristics—interests, behaviors and
needs—of target populations that
influence their decisions and actions.
Formative research is also integral in
developing programs as well as
improving existing and ongoing
programs. NCHHSTP formative research
helps develop new or adapting
programs that deal with the complexity
of behaviors, social context, cultural
identities, and health care that underlie
the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS, viral
hepatitis, STDs, and TB in the U.S, as
well as school and adolescent health.
CDC conducts formative research to
develop public-sensitive
communication messages and user
friendly tools prior to developing or
recommending interventions, or care.
Sometimes these studies are entirely
behavioral but most often they are
cycles of interviews and focus groups
designed to inform the development of
a product.
Products from these formative
research studies will be used for
prevention of HIV/AIDS, Sexually
Transmitted Infections (STI), viral
Hepatitis, and Tuberculosis. Findings
from these studies may also be
presented as evidence to diseasespecific National Advisory Committees,
to support revisions to recommended
prevention and intervention methods, as
well as new recommendations.
Much of CDC’s health communication
takes place within campaigns that have
fairly lengthy planning periods—
timeframes that accommodate the
standard Federal process for approving
data collections. Short term qualitative
interviewing and cognitive research
techniques have previously proven
invaluable in the development of
scientifically valid and populationappropriate methods, interventions, and
instruments.
This request includes studies
investigating the utility and
acceptability of proposed sampling and
recruitment methods, intervention
contents and delivery, questionnaire
domains, individual questions, and
interactions with project staff or
electronic data collection equipment.
These activities will also provide
information about how respondents
answer questions and ways in which

question response bias and error can be
reduced.
This request also includes collection
of information from public health
programs to assess needs related to
initiation of a new program activity or
expansion or changes in scope or
implementation of existing program
activities to adapt them to current
needs. The information collected will be
used to advise programs and provide
capacity-building assistance tailored to
identify needs.
Overall, these development activities
are intended to provide information that
will increase the success of the
surveillance or research projects
through increasing response rates and
decreasing response error, thereby
decreasing future data collection burden
to the public. The studies that will be
covered under this request will include
one or more of the following
investigational modalities: (1)
Structured and qualitative interviewing
for surveillance, research, interventions
and material development, (2) cognitive
interviewing for development of specific
data collection instruments, (3)
methodological research (4) usability
testing of technology-based instruments
and materials, (5) field testing of new
methodologies and materials, (6)
investigation of mental models for
health decision-making, to inform
health communication messages, and (7)
organizational needs assessments to
support development of capacity.
Respondents who will participate in
individual and group interviews
(qualitative, cognitive, and computer
assisted development activities) are
selected purposively from those who
respond to recruitment advertisements.
In addition to utilizing advertisements
for recruitment, respondents who will
participate in research on survey
methods may be selected purposively or
systematically from within an ongoing
surveillance or research project.
Participation of respondents is
voluntary. Also, there is no cost to
participants other than their time.
