Information Collection Request Title:
Sickle Cell Disease Treatment
Demonstration Program—Quality
Improvement Data Collection.
OMB No.: 0906–xxxx–NEW.
Abstract: In response to the growing
need for resources and coordination of
resources devoted to sickle cell disease
and other hemoglobinopathies, the
United States Congress, under Section
712 of the American Jobs Creation Act
of 2004 (Pub. L. 108–357) (42 U.S.C.
300b–1 note), authorized a
demonstration program for the
prevention and treatment of sickle cell
disease (SCD) to be administered by
HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (MCHB) in the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services. The
program is known as the Sickle Cell
Disease Treatment Demonstration
Program (SCDTDP). The SCDTDP is
designed to improve access to services
for individuals with sickle cell disease,
improve and expand patient and
provider education, and improve and
expand the continuity and coordination
of service delivery for individuals with
sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait.
The specific aims for the program are
threefold: (1) Increase the number of
providers treating persons with sickle
cell disease, (2) increase the number of
providers using evidence-based
treatments in sickle cell disease, such as
prescribing hydroxyurea, and (3)
increase the number of providers
knowledgeable about treating sickle cell
disease and the number of sickle cell
patients that are seen by providers
knowledgeable about sickle cell disease.

Sfmt 4703
To achieve the goals and objectives of
the program, the SCDTDP uses quality
improvement (QI) methods in a
collective impact model which supports
cross-sector collaboration for achieving
measurable effects on major social
issues. The collective impact model
requires shared measurement which
facilitates tracking progress in a
standardized method to promote
learning and enhance continuous
improvement.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of the
proposed data collection strategy is to
implement a system to monitor the
progress of MCHB-funded activities in
improving care and health outcomes for
individuals living with sickle cell
disease/trait and meeting the goals of
the SCDTDP. Each regional grantee site
will be asked to report on a core set of
evidence-based measures related to
healthcare utilization among
individuals with sickle cell disease and
the quality of care of the SCD
population.
The data collected for the SCDTDP
will consist of administrative medical
claims data collected from State
Medicaid Programs and Medicaid
Managed Care Organizations that
administer Medicaid on behalf of states.
The data is collected either for or by
State Medicaid offices for delivery of
services subject to Medicaid
reimbursement.
The data collection strategy will
provide an effective and efficient
mechanism to do the following: (1)
Assess the improvements in access to
care for sickle cell patients provided by
activities in the SCDTDP; (2) collect,
coordinate, and distribute data, best
practices, and findings from regional
grantee sites to drive improvement on

quality measures; (3) refine a common
model protocol regarding the prevention
and treatment of sickle cell disease; (4)
examine/address barriers that
individuals and families living with
sickle cell disease face when accessing
quality health care and health
education; (5) evaluate the grantees’
performance in meeting the objectives of
the SCDTDP; and (6) provide HRSA and
Congress with information on the
overall progress of the program.
Likely Respondents: Four regional
grantee sites funded by HRSA under the
SCDTDP will be the respondents for this
data collection activity and submit
responses gathered from State Medicaid
Offices and State Medicaid Managed
Care Organizations.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose

Information Collection Request Title:
Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Tier
1B Design and Implementation Study
Abstract: The Office of Adolescent
Health (OAH) is requesting an approval
by OMB on a new information
collection. For the TPP Tier 1B Design
and Implementation Study, we will
document how each of the 50 grantees
funded under this grant program are
scaling-up efforts to strengthen and
expand the reach of evidence-based TPP
programs in their respective
communities. OAH anticipates that
grantees will employ diverse strategies
in working within their communities to
scale up their initiatives. Because this
information collection will contribute to
the emerging knowledge base about
community-wide efforts to scale up
evidence-based programs (EBPs),
mobilize community support, and
establish linkages to youth-friendly
ADDRESSES:
health services at the community level,
it will be important to document the
variety of grantee approaches and
challenges they have encountered as a
result of local conditions and strategies.
To document these features and
experiences, a lead staff member in each
grantee organization will be interviewed
by phone as well as up to two key
grantee partners. Partners to be
interviewed will be selected based on
the prominence and variety of their
roles within each initiative in order to
provide multiple perspectives on
implementation. To obtain more detail
on implementation than can be gathered
in a telephone interview, site visits with
up to 15 grantees will be conducted to
collect data that will illustrate in detail
a variety of approaches and strategies
for scaling up to the community level
evidence-based approaches to teen
pregnancy prevention.
Likely Respondents: Respondents for
telephone interviews will include 50
TPP Tier 1B grantee project directors
and 100 implementation partner project
directors. Site visit interview
participants will include 120 grantee
and partner staff members, and 40
Community Advisory Group members.
Eighty Youth Leadership Council
members will be recruited to participate
in 10 focus groups.
