Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Asthma Call-back Survey (ACBS)—Existing Collection in Use without an OMB Control Number— National Center for Environmental Health NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is requesting a threeyear Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance to conduct information collection under ‘‘The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Asthma Call-back Survey (ACBS)’’ for three years beginning with the 2017 data collection cycle. The ACBS is an existing collection in use without an OMB Control Number. BRFSS (OMB Control No. 0920–1061, expiration date 3/31/2018) is a nationwide system of customized, cross-sectional telephone health surveys sponsored by CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) Division of Population Health. The BRFSS information collection is conducted in a continuous, three-part telephone interview process: Screening, participation in a common BRFSS core survey, and participation in optional question modules that states use to customize survey content. The ACBS is not an optional state module, but rather, is a follow-up survey to the regular BRFSS efforts. It is funded by the National Asthma Control Program (NACP) in the Air Pollution and Respiratory Health Branch (APRHB) of the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH). The ACBS is administered by NCCDPHP on behalf of NCEH using its existing BRFSS sampling frame.

Currently CDC provides its 40 participating states with technical and methodological assistance. The purpose of ACBS is to gather state-level asthma data and to make them available to track the burden of the disease, to monitor adherence to asthma guidelines, and to direct and evaluate interventions undertaken by asthma control programs located in state health departments. Beyond asthma prevalence estimates, for most states, the ACBS provides the only sources of adult and child asthma data on the state and local level. As a follow-up, the ACBS is conducted within two weeks after the BRFSS survey. Data collection for ACBS involves (1) screening, (2) obtaining permission, (3) consenting and telephone interviewing on a subset of the BRFSS respondents from participating states. The ACBS eligible respondents are BRFSS adults, 18 years and older, who report ever being diagnosed with asthma. In addition, some states include children, below 18 years of age, who are randomly selected subjects in the BRFSS household. Parents or guardians serve as ACBS proxy respondents for their children ever diagnosed with asthma. If both the BRFSS adult respondent and the selected child in the household have asthma, then only one or the other is eligible for the ACBS. The ACBS adds considerable statelevel depth to the existing body of asthma data. It addresses critical questions surrounding the health and experiences of persons with asthma. Health data include symptoms, environmental factors, and medication use among persons with asthma. Data on their experiences include activity limitation, health system use, and selfmanagement education. These asthma data are needed to direct and evaluate interventions undertaken by asthma control programs located in state health departments. Federal agencies and other entities also rely on this critical information for planning and evaluating efforts and to reduce the burden from this disease.

Proposed Project

Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Asthma Call-back
Survey (ACBS)--Existing Collection in Use without an OMB Control
Number--National Center for Environmental Health NCEH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is requesting
a three-year Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance to conduct
information collection under ``The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS) Asthma Call-back Survey (ACBS)'' for three years
beginning with the 2017 data collection cycle. The ACBS is an existing
collection in use without an OMB Control Number. BRFSS (OMB Control No.
0920-1061, expiration date 3/31/2018) is a nationwide system of
customized, cross-sectional telephone health surveys sponsored by CDC's
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP) Division of Population Health. The BRFSS information
collection is conducted in a continuous, three-part telephone interview
process: Screening, participation in a common BRFSS core survey, and
participation in optional question modules that states use to customize
survey content.
The ACBS is not an optional state module, but rather, is a follow-
up survey to the regular BRFSS efforts. It is funded by the National
Asthma Control Program (NACP) in the Air Pollution and Respiratory
Health Branch (APRHB) of the National Center for Environmental Health
(NCEH). The ACBS is administered by NCCDPHP on behalf of NCEH using its
existing BRFSS sampling frame. BRFSS coordinators in the health
departments in U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia
(collectively referred to as states) are responsible for survey
administration. Currently CDC provides its 40 participating states with
technical and methodological assistance.
The purpose of ACBS is to gather state-level asthma data and to
make them available to track the burden of the disease, to monitor
adherence to asthma guidelines, and to direct and evaluate
interventions undertaken by asthma control programs located in state
health departments. Beyond asthma prevalence estimates, for most
states, the ACBS provides the only sources of adult and child asthma
data on the state and local level.
As a follow-up, the ACBS is conducted within two weeks after the
BRFSS survey. Data collection for ACBS involves (1) screening, (2)
obtaining permission, (3) consenting and telephone interviewing on a
subset of the BRFSS respondents from participating states. The ACBS
eligible respondents are BRFSS adults, 18 years and older, who report
ever being diagnosed with asthma. In addition, some states include
children, below 18 years of age, who are randomly selected subjects in
the BRFSS household. Parents or guardians serve as ACBS proxy
respondents for their children ever diagnosed with asthma. If both the
BRFSS adult respondent and the selected child in the household have
asthma, then only one or the other is eligible for the ACBS.
The ACBS adds considerable state-level depth to the existing body
of asthma data. It addresses critical questions surrounding the health
and experiences of persons with asthma. Health data include symptoms,
environmental factors, and medication use among persons with asthma.

entities also rely on this critical information for planning and
evaluating efforts and to reduce the burden from this disease.
The CDC makes annual ACBS datasets available for public use and

guidance on statistically appropriate uses of the data. Participation
in the ACBS is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The burden table reflects the landline and cell phone
data collection methods used in 2013 and later years. Additionally, the
burden table accounts for reporting burden incurred by the states for
the monthly or quarterly data submission to CDC. The burden hour
estimates represent the 2013 data collection which is the most recent
data released.
The total estimated annualized burden hours for all respondents are
6,029 hours.
