Proposed Project
Assessment of Outcomes Associated
with the Preventive Health and Health
Services Block Grant—New—Office for
State, Tribal, Local and Territorial
Support (OSTLTS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Preventive Health and Health
Services Block Grant (PHHS Block
Grant) has provided flexible funding for
all 50 states, the District of Columbia,
two American Indian tribes, five U.S.
territories, and three freely associated
states to address the unique public
health needs of their jurisdictions in
innovative and locally defined ways.
First authorized by Congress in 1981
through the Public Health Service Act
(Pub. L. 102–531), the fundamental and
enduring purpose of the grant has been
to provide grantees with flexibility and
control to address their priority public
health needs. In 1992, Congress
amended the law to align PHHS Block
Grant funding priorities with the 22
chapters specified in Healthy People
(HP) 2000, a set of national objectives
designed to guide health promotion and
disease prevention efforts. Additional
amendments included set-aside funds
specifically dedicated to sex offense
prevention and victim services, thus
requiring grantees receiving this support
to include related HP objectives and
activities as part of their PHHS Block
Grant-funded local programs.
CDC is establishing a comprehensive,
standardized method to collect data to
describe select outputs and outcomes
and ensure the accountability of the
PHHS Block Grant. The CDC PHHS
Block Grant Measurement Framework is
an innovative approach to collecting
data on public health infrastructure
improved (i.e., information systems
improved and quality improved—
efficiency and effectiveness
improvements achieved in programs,
services, and operations), emerging
public health needs addressed, and
evidence-based public health
interventions implemented.
The purpose of this information
collection request (ICR) is to collect data
that assess select cross-cutting outputs
and outcomes of the grant (as defined by
the framework measures) and that
demonstrate the utility of the grant on
a national level. This data collection
will describe the outcomes of the PHHS
Block Grant as a whole—not individual
grantee activities or outcomes.
The respondent universe consists of
61 PHHS Block Grant coordinators, or
their designees, across 61 health
departments (50 states, the District of
Columbia, two tribes, five US territories,
and three freely associated states). The
assessment will be administered to
PHHS Block Grant coordinators
electronically via a web-based
questionnaire. A link to the assessment
will be provided by email invitation.
The survey will be completed once
every two years. The total annualized
estimated burden is 46 hours.
