pathogens. Data elements for hypothesis
generation must be developed and
agreed upon for each investigation. This
process can take several days to weeks
and may cause interviews to occur long
after a person becomes ill.
CDC requests a revision to this project
to collect standardized information,
called the Standardized National
Hypothesis-Generating Questionnaire,
from individuals who have become ill
during a multistate foodborne disease
event. Since the questionnaire is
designed to be administered by public
health officials as part of multistate
hypothesis-generating interview
activities, this questionnaire is not
expected to entail significant burden to
respondents.
The Standardized National
Hypothesis-Generating Core Elements
Project was established with the goal to
define a core set of data elements to be
used for hypothesis generation during
multistate foodborne investigations.
These elements represent the minimum
set of information that should be
available for all outbreak-associated
cases identified during hypothesis
generation. The core elements would
ensure that similar exposures would be
vehicles out of commerce. In almost all
instances, the SNHGQ or iterations of
the SNHGQ have been instrumental in
the successful investigation of these
outbreaks. The questionnaire has
allowed investigators to more efficiently
and effectively interview ill persons as
they are identified. Because these
exposures are captured in a common,
standard format, we have been able to
share and analyze data rapidly across
jurisdictional lines. Faster interview
response and analysis times have
allowed for more rapid epidemiologic
investigation and quicker regulatory
action, thus helping to prevent
thousands of additional illnesses from
occurring and spurring industry to
adopt and implement new food safety
measures in an effort to prevent future
outbreaks.
The total estimated annualized
burden for the Standardized National
Generating Questionnaire is 3,000 hours
(approximately 4,000 individuals
identified during the hypothesisgenerating phase of outbreak
investigations with 45 minutes/
response).
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
ascertained across many jurisdictions,
allowing for rapid pooling of data to
improve the timeliness of hypothesisgenerating analyses and shorten the
time to pinpoint how and where
contamination events occur.
The Standardized National
Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire
was designed as a data collection tool
for the core elements, to be used when
a multistate cluster of enteric disease
infections is identified. The
questionnaire is designed to be
administered over the phone by public
health officials to collect core elements
data from case-patients or their proxies.
Both the content of the questionnaire
(the core elements) and the format were
developed through a series of working
groups comprised of local, state, and
federal public health partners.
Since implementation of the SNHGQ
in 2013, ORPB has investigated over 700
multistate foodborne and enteric
clusters of infection involving over
26,000 ill people. Of which, an outbreak
vehicle has been identified in 200 of
these investigations. These outbreaks
have led to over 50 recalls and countless
regulatory actions that have removed
millions of pounds of contaminated
