CDC seeks a one-year approval to conduct the School Health Profiles Test-Retest Reliability Study. Profiles surveys are administered widely. In 2018, 48 states, 21 large urban school districts, and two territories conducted School Health Profiles. Across all of these jurisdictions, questionnaires were completed by approximately 10,000 200 lead health education teachers from regular public secondary schools in the United States containing at least one of grades six through 12 will complete both a Time 1 and Time 2 Profiles questionnaire. Five questions will be added at the end of both the principal and lead health education teacher questionnaires at the Time 2 administration to gather data on why responses to the same questions may have changed or stayed the same between the two administrations. The table below reports the number of respondents annualized over the oneyear project period. There are no costs to respondents except their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 686. principals and by approximately 9,000 lead health education teachers. States and large urban school districts use Profiles as a data source for performance measures for two Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cooperative agreements: CDC–RFA–PS18–1807, Promoting Adolescent Health Through School-Based HIV Prevention (PS18– 1807), and CDC–RFA–DP18–1801 Improving Student Health and Academic Achievement Through Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Management of Chronic Conditions in Schools (DP18–1801).

Background and Brief Description Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the extent and nature of illness and disability; environmental, social and other health hazards; and determinants of health of the population of the United States. The Division of Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (DHNES) has conducted national surveys and related projects periodically between 1970 and 1994, and continuously since 1999. The mission of DHNES programs is to produce descriptive statistics which measure the health and nutrition status of the general population. The continuous operation of DHNES programs presents unique challenges in testing new survey content and activities, such as outreach or participant screening. In 2023 and beyond, NHANES may need to implement changes to the survey such as sample design, outreach activities, procedures, content, protocols, methods and settings in which the survey is conducted. The survey may also need to collaborate more closely with other public health surveys and programs, both within NCHS/CDC and with outside organizations. Such changes may be needed to respond to declines in response rate, adapt to changes in technology and address future public health needs. To prepare for such change, the program may need to do more testing than in past cycles. This request includes an increase in number of participants and burden hours for Developmental Projects & Focus Group activities. It also expands the types of participants covered by this generic request to include ‘‘current or past participants of other NCHS surveys/ programs/projects’’ and ‘‘individuals eligible to be participants of other NCHS surveys/programs/projects, but who did not actually screen in’’. This generic revision request covers developmental projects to help evaluate and enhance DHNES existing and proposed data collection activities to increase research capacity and improve data quality. The information collected through this Generic Information Collection Request will not be used to make generalizable statements about the population of interest or to inform public policy; however, methodological findings from these projects may be reported. The purpose and use of projects under this NHANES generic clearance would include developmental projects necessary for activities such as testing new procedures, equipment, technology and approaches that are going to be folded into NHANES or other NCHS programs; designing and testing examination components or survey questions; creating new studies, including biomonitoring and clinical measures; creating new cohorts, including a pregnancy and/or a birth— 24 month cohort; testing of the cognitive and interpretive aspects of survey methodology; feasibility testing of proposed new components or modifications to existing components; testing of human-computer interfaces/ usability; assessing the acceptability of proposed NHANES components among likely participants; testing alternative approaches to existing NHANES procedures, including activities related to improving nonresponse; testing the use of or variations/adjustments in incentives; testing content of web based surveys; testing the feasibility of obtaining bodily fluid specimens (blood, urine, semen, saliva, breastmilk) and tissue sample (swabs); testing digital imaging technology and related procedures (e.g., retinal scan, liver ultrasound, Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), prescription and over-the-counter dietary supplements bottles); testing the feasibility of and procedure/processes for accessing participant’s medical records from healthcare settings (e.g., hospitals and physician offices); testing the feasibility and protocols for home examination measurements; testing survey materials and procedures to improve response rates, including changes to advance materials and protocols, changes to the incentive structure, introduction of new and timely outreach and awareness procedures including the use of social media; conducting crossover studies; creating and testing digital survey materials; and conducting customer satisfaction assessments. The types of participants covered by the NHANES generic may include current or past NHANES participants; family or household members of NHANES participants; individuals eligible to be participants in NHANES, but who did not screen into the actual survey; convenience samples; volunteers; subject matter experts or consultants such as survey methodologist, academic researchers, clinicians or other health care providers; NHANES data or website users; members of the general public or individuals abroad who would be part of a collaborative development project or projects between NCHS and related public health agencies in the U.S. and/ or abroad.

Proposed Project

    Developmental Projects to Improve the National Health and Nutrition 
Examination Survey and Related Programs, (OMB Control No. 0920-1208 
Exp. 12/31/2020)--Revision -- National Center for Health Statistics 
(NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 
242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the 
extent and nature of illness and disability; environmental, social and 
other health hazards; and determinants of health of the population of 
the United States. The Division of Health and Nutrition Examination 
Surveys (DHNES) has conducted national surveys and related projects 
periodically between 1970 and 1994, and continuously since 1999.
    The mission of DHNES programs is to produce descriptive statistics 
which measure the health and nutrition status of the general 
population. The continuous operation of DHNES programs presents unique 
challenges in testing new survey content and activities, such as 
outreach or participant screening.
    In 2023 and beyond, NHANES may need to implement changes to the 
survey such as sample design, outreach activities, procedures, content, 
protocols, methods and settings in which the survey is conducted. The 
survey may also need to collaborate more closely with other public 
health surveys and programs, both within NCHS/CDC and with outside 
organizations. Such changes may be needed to respond to declines in 
response rate, adapt to changes in technology and address future public 
health needs. To prepare for such change, the program may need to do 
more testing than in past cycles. This request includes an increase in 
number of participants and burden hours for Developmental Projects & 
Focus Group activities. It also expands the types of participants 
covered by this generic request to include ``current or past 
participants of other NCHS surveys/programs/projects'' and 
``individuals eligible to be participants of other NCHS surveys/
programs/projects, but who did not actually screen in''.
    This generic revision request covers developmental projects to help 
evaluate and enhance DHNES existing and proposed data collection 
activities to increase research capacity and improve data quality. The 
information collected through this Generic Information Collection 
Request will not be used to make generalizable statements about the 
population of interest or to inform public policy; however, 
methodological findings from these projects may be reported.
    The purpose and use of projects under this NHANES generic clearance 
would include developmental projects necessary for activities such as 
testing new procedures, equipment, technology and approaches that are 
going to be folded into NHANES or other NCHS programs; designing and 
testing examination components or survey questions; creating new 
studies, including biomonitoring and clinical measures; creating new 
cohorts, including a pregnancy and/or a birth--24 month cohort; testing 
of the cognitive and interpretive aspects of survey methodology; 
feasibility testing of proposed new components or modifications to 
existing components; testing of human-computer interfaces/usability; 
assessing the acceptability of proposed NHANES components among likely 
participants; testing alternative approaches to existing NHANES 
procedures, including activities related to improving nonresponse; 
testing the use of or variations/adjustments in incentives; testing 
content of web based surveys; testing the feasibility of obtaining 
bodily fluid specimens (blood, urine, semen, saliva, breastmilk) and 
tissue sample (swabs); testing digital imaging technology and related 
procedures (e.g., retinal scan, liver ultrasound, Dual-energy X-ray 
absorptiometry (DEXA), prescription and over-the-counter dietary 
supplements bottles); testing the feasibility of and procedure/
processes for accessing participant's medical records from healthcare 
settings (e.g., hospitals and physician offices); testing the 
feasibility and protocols for home examination measurements; testing 
survey materials and procedures to improve response rates, including 
changes to advance materials and protocols, changes to the incentive 
structure, introduction of new and timely outreach and awareness 
procedures including the use of social media; conducting crossover 
studies; creating and testing digital survey materials; and conducting 
customer satisfaction assessments.
    The types of participants covered by the NHANES generic may include 
current or past NHANES participants; family or household members of 
NHANES participants; individuals eligible to be participants in NHANES, 
but who did not screen into the actual survey; convenience samples; 
volunteers; subject matter experts or consultants such as survey 
methodologist, academic researchers, clinicians or other health care 
providers; NHANES data or website users; members of the general public 
or individuals abroad who would be part of a collaborative development 
project or projects between NCHS and related public health agencies in 
the U.S. and/or abroad.
    The type of participants involved in a given developmental project 
would be determined by the nature of the project. The details of each 
project will be included in the specific GenIC submissions. 
Participation is voluntary and confidential. There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time. We are requesting a three-year 
approval, with 59,465 annualized hours of burden.
