Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 5667-5668 [2020-01860]

Download as PDF 5667 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 21 / Friday, January 31, 2020 / Notices diagnosed at late stages, leading to low five-year survival rates. While previous studies are able to identify some of the needs of ovarian cancer survivors, particularly related to physical complications and side effects, additional research is needed to further understand the experiences and needs of survivors. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released their report, Ovarian Cancers: Evolving Paradigms in Research and Care, which identified key priorities for researchers, including recommending research on the ‘‘supportive care needs of ovarian cancer survivors throughout the disease trajectory’’. In order to address these research gaps and supplement current knowledge of the ongoing needs of survivors, including how to implement programs and interventions to improve their health, CDC has supported a survey of ovarian cancer survivors. The goal of this project is to better understand the needs of ovarian cancer survivors and how to more effectively develop interventions targeted to this population. To achieve this goal, multiple recruitment methods will be utilized to recruit this unique population of women for the study. By using state cancer registries, social media advertisements, and respondentdriven sampling (RDS), the study will ensure recruitment of a diverse population of women. This study will focus on the following research questions: 1. What physical and mental conditions do ovarian cancer survivors experience? 2. What kinds of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions do ovarian cancer survivors utilize to manage their conditions? 3. What barriers to ovarian cancer survivors have in accessing and receiving appropriate diagnostic care, treatment, and follow-up care? 4. What unmet needs do ovarian cancer survivors have? The overall sample design targets 1,500 completed interviews. We assume that approximately 80% of completed surveys will come from more traditional sampling utilizing lists from the state cancer registries (n=1,200). The remainder of the completed interviews will come through social media outreach and respondent-driven sampling (RDS) methods (n=300). For the social media recruitment, individuals will be recruited to participate in the web survey through advertisements posted on social media sites. These ads are targeted toward the specific population of women we wish to complete the survey. Interested respondents who click on an ad will be routed to the survey landing page which will explain the purpose of the study and include consent language. If the respondent is eligible, she will complete the same survey as those recruited via the state cancer registries. Each recruitment method (registrybased or social media-based) will have an opportunity to recruit other women into the study through respondentdriven sampling (RDS). We anticipate that the majority of completed interviews will be obtained through traditional sampling practices, RDS provides an efficient way to identify other potentially eligible respondents through a networked-based recruitment approach. Participation is voluntary. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 1,253.

Assessing fellowship activities is essential to ensure that the public health workforce is equipped to promote and protect the public’s health. CDC requests a three-year extension of a generic clearance to collect data about its fellowship programs, as they relate to public health workforce development. Data collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between CDC fellowship programs and stakeholders (e.g., fellows, supervisors/mentors, alumni). These collections might include short surveys, interviews, and focus groups. Intended use of the resulting information is to • inform planning, implementation, and continuous quality improvement of fellowship activities and services; • improve efficiencies in the delivery of fellowship activities and services; and • determine to what extent fellowship activities and services are achieving established goals. Collection and use of information about CDC fellowship activities will help ensure effective, efficient, and satisfying experiences among fellowship program participants and stakeholders.

Background and Brief Description

    CDC's mission is to protect America from health, safety, and 
security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. To ensure a competent, 
sustainable, and empowered public health workforce prepared to meet 
these challenges, CDC plays a key role in developing, implementing, and 
managing a number of fellowship programs. A fellowship is defined as a 
training or work experience lasting at least one month and consisting 
of primarily experiential (i.e., on-the-job) learning, in which the 
trainee has a designated mentor or supervisor. CDC fellowships are 
intended to develop public health professionals, enhance the public 
health workforce, and strengthen collaborations with partners in public 
health and healthcare organizations, academia, and other stakeholders 
in governmental and non-governmental organizations. Assessing 
fellowship activities is essential to ensure that the public health 
workforce is equipped to promote and protect the public's health.
    CDC requests a three-year extension of a generic clearance to 
collect data about its fellowship programs, as they relate to public 
health workforce development. Data collections will allow for ongoing, 
collaborative, and actionable communications between CDC fellowship 
programs and stakeholders (e.g., fellows, supervisors/mentors, alumni). 
These collections might include short surveys, interviews, and focus 
groups. Intended use of the resulting information is to
     inform planning, implementation, and continuous quality 
improvement of fellowship activities and services;
     improve efficiencies in the delivery of fellowship 
activities and services; and
     determine to what extent fellowship activities and 
services are achieving established goals.
    Collection and use of information about CDC fellowship activities 
will help ensure effective, efficient, and satisfying experiences among 
fellowship program participants and stakeholders.
    CDC estimates that annually, a given fellowship program will 
conduct one query each with one of the three respondent groups: 
Fellowship applicants or fellows; mentors, supervisors, or employers; 
and alumni. The total annualized burden hours of 2,957 was determined 
as depicted in the following table.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time.
