Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 45978-45979 [2015-18857]

Download as PDF 45978 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 148 / Monday, August 3, 2015 / Notices potential strategies for dissemination of the MPT. Information will be collected by surveying older adults, aged 60–74 years, who are living in the community (non-institutionalized), and have good mobility. An initial survey will be administered to 1000 adults, half (500) will be sent the MPT, and then 900 adults will be surveyed again. Effectiveness of the tool will be assessed using two different comparisons: (1) A comparison between individuals’ attitudes and behaviors related to protecting their mobility as they age before and after receiving the MPT in the group that received the MPT, and (2) a comparison of both mobility-related attitudes and behaviors and changes between the group that received the MPT and the group that did not receive the MPT. Study findings will be used to identify areas of the MPT that may need revision before it is disseminated publicly. The previous data collection gathered older adults’ impressions, and based on their feedback, MPT tool has now been redesigned and oriented toward mobility planning rather than mobility assessment. This reinstatement request is to conduct a randomized controlled trial on the revised tool to determine if the tool promotes readiness in older adults to adopt mobility-protective behaviors, and appropriate ways to disseminate the tool. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 734.
