There were 164,177 cases of
gonorrhea diagnosed and reported
across the 10 participating enhanced
SSuN jurisdictions funded in 2018.
Approximately 10.6%, or 17,512 cases
were randomly sampled for enhanced
investigation and full enhanced
investigations were completed for 7,132
(40.7%). The remaining cases were lost
to follow-up due to insufficient contact
information, or the patient failed to
respond to multiple contact attempts.
Similar performance is anticipated in
the revised project, which includes
eleven jurisdictions which reported
173,605 gonorrhea cases in 2017.
Approximately 17,360 cases will be
additional data management burden of
1,320 hours (11 sites × 6 annual matches
× 20 hours).
The estimated annual burden hours
for data management staff in funded
jurisdiction is 4,488 hours (3,168 +
1,320) for the revised information
collection. Respondents from local/state
health departments receive federal
funds to participate in this project.
Participation of patients and of facility
staff is voluntary. The total estimated
annual burden hours for which CDC
seeks approval is 6,303. There are no
additional costs to respondents other
than their time.
sampled and 7,380 completed patient
investigations are anticipated.
Data managers at each of the 11 local/
state health departments are responsible
for transmitting validated datasets to
CDC every month, alternating between
strategies A and B each month. This
reflects 3,168 burden hours for data
management (11 respondents × 12 data
transmissions × 24 hours). Data
managers will also be responsible for
conducting HIV registry matching
bimonthly; registry matches are
estimated to take 20 hours for matching,

public and affected agencies. CDC
received one comment related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) 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

Proposed Project
An Evaluation of CDC’s STEADI
Older Adult Fall Prevention Initiative in
a Primary Care Setting—New—National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Falls are the leading cause of both
fatal and non-fatal injuries among older
adults, defined as age 65 and older.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2019 / Notices
From 2007 to 2016, fall death ageadjusted rates increased by 31% with
almost 30,000 older adults dying as the
result of a fall in 2016. The economic
consequences of falls are significant and
growing as the population ages, with
medical costs of older adult falls
estimated at $50 billion. CDC created
the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths,
and Injuries (STEADI) initiative to guide
health care providers’ fall prevention
activities in the primary care setting.
This new data collection effort is an
essential component to determine the
impact of CDC’s Stopping Elderly
Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries
(STEADI) initiative on falls, emergency
department visits, and hospitalizations
due to falls. It will help CDC determine
the impact of less resource intense
versions of STEADI and evaluate the
process of implementing STEADI fall
prevention initiative in a primary care
setting to provide context for the impact
evaluations. The study population will
be limited to adults 65 and older who
have an outpatient visit during the
study period and screen as high risk for
falls at the selected primary care clinics
implementing the STEADI fall
prevention initiative. The study
population for the process evaluation
will include the clinical implementation
staff at the selected clinics where the
intervention will take place (physicians,
physician assistants/nurse practitioners,
study research nurses, and practice or
operations manager).
Two data collection methods will be
used; the CDC’s Stay Independent Fall
Risk Screener will be administered to
older adult patients at selected primary
care clinics to determine which older
adults are at high risk for a fall. Those
who screen at high risk will be assigned,
based on clinic attended and week of
attendance, to one of three study arms.
Patient surveys will be used to
determine whether these patients
experience a fall during the study
period, are treated for a fall, and/or use
any fall prevention strategies throughout
the study period. Four surveys will be
administered to each patient during a
12-month period: One baseline survey
and three follow-up surveys. Older
adults will also be asked to keep track
of their falls in a monthly falls diary, so
they can accurately recall and report the
information during the 12-month period
for the patient surveys. The process
evaluation interviews will be used to
understand the attitudes of clinical staff
towards the implementation process,
barriers and facilitators to
implementation, and the
implementation fidelity to core
components of the STEADI initiative.
Descriptive statistics and cross
tabulations will be used to describe
quantitative data from the patient
survey and process evaluation data. Risk
ratios of the effect of the intervention on
post-intervention falls will be calculated
comparing intervention and control
groups while controlling for
demographic, health, attitude, and
behavior variables.
The data collected from this study
will be used to demonstrate the impact
of STEADI and different components of
STEADI on falls and fall injuries in a
primary care setting, and improve the
implementation of STEADI in a primary
care setting. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden is
1,578 hours.
