This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results. Respondents will be screened and selected from individuals and households, businesses, organizations, and/or units of State, Local, Tribal, or Federal Government. Below we provide CDC’s projected annualized estimate for the next three years. No changes are proposed. Participation is voluntary and there is no cost to respondents other than their time. The estimated annualized burden hours for this data collection activity are 9,690. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Type of collection Agency Customers ..........................................

Background and Brief Description The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB approval to conduct the National YRBS Test-Retest Reliability Study to establish the reliability of the national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (‘‘YRBS’’) questionnaire. The YRBS assesses priority health risk behaviors related to the major preventable causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems among school health programs nationwide. CDC seeks a one-year approval to conduct the National YRBS Test-Retest Reliability Study. Between September and December of 2021, a sample of 2,000 students from 20 regular public secondary schools in the U.S. containing at least one of grades nine through 12 will be selected in no more than 20 districts. This sample is expected to yield at least 1,000 participating students who completed both a Time 1 and Time 2 YRBS questionnaire. The table below reports the number of respondents annualized over the oneyear project period. There are no costs to respondents except their time.

The YRBS provides data to measure 13 of the proposed health objectives and one of the Leading Health Indicators currently under public comment to establish Healthy People 2030 objectives. In addition, the YRBS can identify racial and ethnic disparities in health risk behaviors. No other national source of data measures as many of the Healthy People 2030 objectives addressing adolescent health risk behaviors as the YRBS.

Proposed Project

    The National YRBS Test-Retest Reliability Study--New--National 
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB approval to conduct 
the National YRBS Test-Retest Reliability Study to establish the 
reliability of the national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (``YRBS'') 
questionnaire.
    The YRBS assesses priority health risk behaviors related to the 
major preventable causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems 
among both youth and young adults in the United States. Data on health 
risk behaviors of adolescents are the focus of approximately 65 
national health objectives in Healthy People 2030, an initiative of the 
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The YRBS provides 
data to measure 13 of the proposed health objectives and one of the 
Leading Health Indicators currently under public comment to establish 
Healthy People 2030 objectives. In addition, the YRBS can identify 
racial and ethnic disparities in health risk behaviors. No other 
national source of data measures as many of the Healthy People 2030 
objectives addressing adolescent health risk behaviors as the YRBS. The 
data also will have significant implications for policy and program 
development for school health programs nationwide. CDC seeks a one-year 
approval to conduct the National YRBS Test-Retest Reliability Study.
    Between September and December of 2021, a sample of 2,000 students 
from 20 regular public secondary schools in the U.S. containing at 
least one of grades nine through 12 will be selected in no more than 20 
districts. This sample is expected to yield at least 1,000 
participating students who completed both a Time 1 and Time 2 YRBS 
questionnaire.
    The table below reports the number of respondents annualized over 
the one-year project period. There are no costs to respondents except 
their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,696.
