Proposed Project
Feasibility of Social Distancing
Measures in K–12 Schools in the United
States—New—National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Division of Global
Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ),
requests approval of a new information
collection to identify potential social
distancing strategies to reduce personto-person contact among students and
staff in K–12 schools that are
implementable without causing major
detrimental effects to ongoing education
activities. CDC is requesting a one-year
approval to collect information.
The information collection for which
approval is sought is in accordance with
DGMQ/CDC’s mission to reduce
morbidity and mortality in mobile
populations, and to prevent the
introduction, transmission, or spread of
communicable diseases within the
United States. Insights gained from this
information collection will assist in the
planning and implementation of CDC
Pre-Pandemic Community Mitigation
Guidance on the use of school-based
measures to slow transmission during
an influenza pandemic.
School-aged children are often the
main introducers and an important
transmission source of influenza and
other respiratory viruses in their
families, and school-based outbreaks
frequently pre-date wide-spread
influenza transmission in the
surrounding communities. Therefore,
infection control measures undertaken
to reduce virus transmission among
children at schools may also help
prevent or postpone influenza outbreaks
in communities. In respiratory
transmission of influenza, proximity to
the person with influenza plays a
significant role. Strategies that increase
physical distance between students and/
or reduce the duration of person to
person contact in school settings may,
theoretically, be effective in slowing
influenza transmission. There have been
no evaluations to date of feasibility of
implementing social distancing
measures other than school closures.
Therefore, there is a need to research
alternative social distancing strategies
that can help reduce influenza
transmission in schools while
minimizing social and economic
burdens on the community.
CDC staff proposes that the
information collection for this package
will target senior education officials,
senior health officials, and
representatives from the National
Association of School Nurses, school
safety organizations/law enforcement,
and National Distance Learning
Association. CDC will collect qualitative
data using focus group discussions on:
(a) Current knowledge, attitudes, and
potential practices with regard to
organizing and delivering K–12
instruction in ways that help increase
physical distance among students and/
or reduce duration of in-person
instruction at schools (including use of
distance learning options), while
preserving the normal education
process; and (b) facilitating and
inhibiting factors for implementing and
sustaining the potential social
distancing options in emergencies as an
alternative to the complete student
dismissal in K–12 schools.
Findings obtained from this
information collection will be used to
inform the update of CDC’s Prepandemic Community Mitigation
Guidance on the implementation of
school related measures to prevent the
spread of influenza. This Guidance is
used as an important planning and
reference tool for both State and local
health departments in the United States.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The maximum
total estimated annual burden hours are
640.
