Proposed Project
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
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
As of October 11, 2016, the U.S.
Virgin Islands (USVI) Department of
Health reported 1,320 Zika cases, in
which 524 have been confirmed Zika
cases.
Ongoing Zika virus transmission in
the USVI intensifies the urgent public
health need to increase contraceptive
access for women who choose to delay
or avoid pregnancy as a primary strategy
to reduce Zika-related adverse
pregnancy and birth outcomes. Among
the approximately 12,000 women at risk
of unintended pregnancy (women of
reproductive age, 18–44 years, who are
sexually active and fertile, and not
currently desiring a pregnancy) in the
USVI, nearly half are not using highly
or moderately effective contraception
(long acting reversible methods
[LARCs], including intrauterine devices
[IUDs] and implants, or hormonal
methods).
In response to the continued impact
of the Zika virus in the USVI, CDC is
proposing to develop a comprehensive
communication strategy to raise
awareness that pregnancy prevention in
women who choose to delay or avoid
pregnancy is a primary strategy to
reduce Zika-related adverse pregnancy
and birth outcomes, as well as inform
women about available contraceptive
methods and services. To ensure the
cultural appropriateness and relevance
of this approach, CDC plans to conduct
a formative assessment with women and
men between the ages of 18 and 44 years
in the USVI.
The goal of this information collection
request is to qualitatively assess current
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs
regarding contraception use, in general,
and related to Zika virus exposure, in
particular, in the USVI. We will explore
perceived barriers to accessing
contraception and effective ways to
provide messages about the
contraceptive methods and services
available. Additionally, we will seek
information on acceptable messaging
strategies, including message content
and related imagery, effective channels
for message dissemination, and
appropriate spokespersons and partners.
