SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke
Program (2015–2020) Evaluation—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Division for Heart
Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP),
requests a three-year OMB approval for
a new collection.
The CDC is the primary Federal
agency for protecting health and
promoting quality of life through the
prevention and control of disease,
injury, and disability. CDC is committed
to programs that reduce the health and
economic consequences of the leading
causes of death and disability, thereby
ensuring a long, productive, healthy life
for all people.
Stroke remains a leading cause of
serious, long-term disability and is the
fifth leading cause of death in the
United States after heart disease, cancer,
chronic lower respiratory diseases, and
accidents. Estimates indicate that
approximately 795,000 people suffer a
first-ever or recurrent stroke each year
with more than 130,000 deaths
annually. Although there have been
significant advances in preventing and
treating stroke, the rising prevalence of
heart disease, diabetes, and obesity has
increased the relative risk for stroke,
especially in African American
populations. Moreover, stroke’s lifetime
direct cost of health care and indirect
cost of lost productivity is staggering
and imposes a substantial societal
economic burden. Coverdell-funded
state programs are in the forefront of
developing and implementing systemchange efforts to improve emergency
response systems, enhance the quality

of care for stroke, and improve
transitions across stroke systems of care,
including pre-event; transitions from
EMS to acute care in hospitals; and
transitions from hospitals to home,
rehabilitation, stroke specialist care, and
primary care providers.
When Congress directed the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) to establish the Paul Coverdell
National Acute Stroke Program
(PCNASP) in 2001, CDC intended to
monitor trends in stroke and stroke care,
with the ultimate mission of improving
the quality of care for stroke patients in
the United States. Since 2015, CDC has
funded and provided technical
assistance to nine state health
departments to develop comprehensive
stroke systems of care. A comprehensive
system of care improves quality of care
by creating seamless transitions for
individuals experiencing stroke. In such
a system, pre-hospital providers, inhospital providers, and early posthospital providers coordinate patient
hand-offs and ensure continuity of care.
CDC contracted with RTI International
to conduct a national evaluation of the
state health departments awarded grants
Cost data collection will focus on a
stratified sample of partners’ cumulative
spending to support PCNASP activities,
spending by reporting period, and
spending associated with specific
PCNASP strategies related to building
comprehensive state-wide stroke
systems of care. Interview questions will
target how each grantee implemented its
strategies, challenges encountered and
how they were overcome, factors that
facilitated implementation, lessons
learned along the way, and observed
outcomes and improvements.
The information to be collected does
not currently exist for large scale,
statewide programs that employ
multiple combinations of strategies led
by state public health departments to
build comprehensive stroke systems of
care. The insights to be gained from this
data collection will be critical to
improving immediate efforts and
achieving the goals of spreading and
replicating state-level strategies that are
proven programmatically and are costeffective in contributing to a higher
quality of care for stroke patients.
in 2015 to assess their implementation
in their state-based contexts and
progress toward short- and
intermediate-term outcomes.
CDC and RTI International propose to
collect information from all nine funded
PCNASP grantees to gain insight into
the effectiveness of implementation of
their quality improvement strategies,
development (and use) of a data
integrated management system, and
partner collaboration in building
comprehensive state-wide stroke
systems of care. The information
collection will focus on describing
PCNASP specific contributions to
effective state-based stroke systems of
care and the costs associated with this
work.
Two components of the information
collection include: (1) Program
implementation cost data collection
from program partners using a cost and
resource utilization tool; and (2)
telephone interviews with key program
stakeholders, such as the PCNASP
principal investigator, program
manager, quality improvement
specialist, data analyst/program
evaluator, and partner support staff.
