Proposed Project
Workplace Health In America—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has submitted the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for
the proposed information collection is
published to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your
comments should address any of the
following: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) Minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and (e) Assess information
collection costs.
Background and Brief Description
CDC has developed the Workplace
Health in America survey program to
describe the current state of U.S.
workplace health promotion and
protection programs and practices in
employers of all sizes, industries and
regions. To date, there has not been a
systematic and ongoing effort to
document the evidenced-based and best
practice strategies and interventions that
comprise a comprehensive workplace
health program from a nationally
representative sample of employers.
National worksite health promotion
experts, employers, and content experts
from the CDC advised on the survey
content. Items from existing, validated
surveys were used whenever possible.
The survey contains yes/no, multiple
choice and a small number of openended items.
The Workplace Health in America
survey is designed to collect
information about: Basic organizational
characteristics; employer-sponsored
health insurance; health risk
assessments; staffing and other
resources devoted to employee health
and safety programming; incentives;
work-life policies and benefits;
availability of health screenings and
disease management programs;
occupational safety and health
programs. The survey items also cover
the presence of evidence-based and
other health promotion programs,
[30-Day–16–16FG]
policies and supports related to physical
activity; nutrition; weight; tobacco;
excess alcohol use and drug abuse;
lactation and prenatal support;
musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis and
back pain; stress; and sleep.
The information that is collected is
intended to build an infrastructure
supporting ongoing surveillance to
evaluate national workplace health
priorities (e.g., Healthy People), monitor
trends, and address emerging issues;
provide free and accessible
benchmarking data for employers and
other stakeholders in workplace health
promotion and protection; provide a
better understanding of employer
practices to inform the development of
tools and resources to support the
design, implementation, and evaluation
of employer-based workplace health
programs; and advance workplace
health promotion and protection
research.
To achieve these aims, CDC has
developed an infrastructure for this
initial effort that can be expanded for
future iterations of data collection. CDC
has designed a process to select a
nationally representative sample of
worksites representing employers in all
size categories, industry sectors, and
CDC regions. The data collection
platform was developed to collect
information primarily by online survey
or telephone assisted interview, and can
be easily modified to accommodate
additional survey modules. CDC has
also created a dissemination plan to
ensure the data and results can be used
by employers and other stakeholders
beyond the research community.
Planned dissemination products include
webinars to employer groups, an online
dashboard for employers to benchmark
their programs against other employers
with comparable characteristics, and
brief reports tailored to employers of
different sizes.
OMB approval is requested for two
years. CDC estimates that a total 8,085
employers will complete the Workplace
Health in America survey. Participation
is voluntary and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 5,616.

Proposed Project
State Unintentional Drug Overdose
Reporting System (SUDORS)—New —
National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2013, there were nearly 44,000
drug overdose deaths, including nearly
36,000 unintentional drug overdose
deaths, in the United States. More
people are now dying of drug overdose
than automobile crashes in the U.S. A
major driver of the problem are
overdoses related to opioids, both
opioid pain relievers (OPRs) and illicit
forms such as heroin. In order to
address this public health problem, the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) has made addressing the
opioid abuse problem a high priority.
In order to support targeting of drug
overdose prevention efforts, detect new
trends in fatal unintentional drug
9475
overdoses, and assess the progress of
HHS’s initiative to reduce opioid abuse
and overdoses, the State Unintentional
Drug Overdose Reporting System
(SUDORS) plans to generate public
health surveillance information at the
national, state, and local levels that is
more detailed, useful, and timely than is
currently available.
SUDORS will collect information that
is currently not collected on death
certificates such as whether the drug(s)
causing the overdoses were injected or
taken orally, decedent toxicology report,
if available, and risk factors for fatal
drug overdoses including previous drug
overdoses, decedent’s mental health,
and whether the decedent recently
exiting a treatment program. SUDORS
will leverage on the existing web-based
data collection platform, the National
Violent Death Reporting System
(NVDRS) (OMB Control No. 0920–0607),
to collect Coroner and Medical
Examiner (CME) information, including
toxicology, and death certificate
information on unintentional fatal drug
overdoses.
This proposed collection will generate
public health surveillance information
on unintentional fatal drug overdoses.
This information will help develop,
inform, and assess the progress of drug
overdose prevention strategies. Without
this information, drug overdose efforts
are often based on limited information
available in the death certificate and
anecdotal evidence.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is based on
secondary data and is dependent on
separate data collection efforts in each
state managed by the state health
departments or their bona fide agent.
The estimated annual burden hours
are 7,008. There are no costs to
respondents.
