in a variety of countries and cultures,
and have proven to be critical tools that
can fill data gaps in ways that are vital
to informing strategic planning and
evidence-based public health efforts in
many countries. However, VACS have
not been implemented in the U.S., and
the existing representative datasets of
violence against youth in the U.S. have
significant limitations that prevent the
data from being actionable for
prevention planning by public health
departments at the local level. VACS in
the U.S. will help fill this gap with
rigorous probability-based estimates of
the problem of youth violence combined
with an internationally tested approach
to embed the VACS survey into the local
strategic planning process of local
public health partners.
analyzed using statistical software to
account for the complexity of the survey
design to compute weighted counts,
percentages, and confidence intervals
using probability-based survey data at
the local level. The findings from this
pilot study will be used primarily to
better understand the feasibility and
effectiveness of implementing VACS in
the U.S., which will ultimately
determine the magnitude of violence
against children and underlying risk
and protective factors in order to make
recommendations to national and
international agencies and nongovernmental organizations on
developing strategies to identify, treat
and prevent violence against children.
The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 800. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
The present project will implement a
pilot testing for the adapted VACS
survey and methodology in two
contexts: (1) A representative sample of
13–24 year old youth in Baltimore and
(2) a convenience sample of 13–24 year
old youth in rural Garrett County,
Maryland to test the VACS in-person
methodology in a rural location. The
proposed study will pilot test the
adaptation of the VACS for use in a
domestic context, using a representative
sample of youth in urban Baltimore and
a convenience sample of youth in rural
Garrett County, Maryland. Data will be
collected through in-person probabilitybased household surveys, which will be
conducted using a combination of
interviewer-administration and Audio
Computer-Assisted Self-Interview
Software on tablets. Data will be

public and affected agencies. CDC did
not receive comments 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;

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.

Proposed Project
Data collection for the residential care
community and adult day service center
components of the National Post-Acute
and Long-Term Care Study (OMB
Control No. 0920–0943)—Reinstatement
with Change—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 health resources . . . [and]
utilization of health care, including
extended care facilities, and other
institutions.’’
NCHS seeks approval to collect data
for the residential care community
(RCC) and adult day services center
(ADSC) survey components of the 5th
National Post-Acute and Long-Term
Care Study or NPALS (formerly known
as the National Study of Long-Term
Care Providers or NSLTCP). A two-year
clearance is requested.
The NPALS is designed to (1) broaden
NCHS’ ongoing coverage of paid,
regulated long-term care (LTC)
providers; (2) merge with existing
administrative data on LTC providers
and service users (i.e., Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
data on inpatient rehabilitation facilities
and patients, long-term care hospitals
and patients, nursing homes and
residents, home health agencies and
patients, and hospices and patients); (3)
update data more frequently on LTC
providers and service users for which
nationally representative administrative
data do not exist; and (4) enable
comparisons across LTC sectors and
timely monitoring of supply and use of
these sectors over time.
Data will be collected from two types
of LTC providers in the 50 states and the
District of Columbia: 11,600 RCCs and
5,500 ADSCs in each wave. Data were
collected in 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018.
The data to be collected in 2020 include
the basic characteristics, services,
staffing, and practices of RCCs and
ADSCs, and aggregate-level
distributions of the demographics,
selected health conditions and health
care utilization, physical functioning,
and cognitive functioning of RCC
residents and ADSC participants. For
2020, we plan to add seven questions
that will ask about: (1) Number of
COVID–19 cases among service users
and among staff (2) number of
hospitalizations and of deaths among
COVID–19 cases (3) availability of
personal protective equipment, (4)
shortages of COVID–19 testing, (5) use
of telemedicine/telehealth, (6)
restrictions on visitors, and (7) general
infection control policies and practices.
Expected users of data from this
collection effort include, but are not
limited to; other Department of Health
and Human Services (DHHS) agencies,
such as the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation,
the Administration for Community
Living, and the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality; associations, such
as LeadingAge, National Center for
Assisted Living, American Seniors
Housing Association, Argentum, and
National Adult Day Services
Association; universities; foundations;
and other private sector organizations
such as the Alzheimer’s Association, the
AARP Public Policy Institute, and the
National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine.
Expected burden from data collection
for eligible cases is 30 minutes per
respondent, except 5% of RCCs and
ADSCs that will need five minutes of
data retrieval. We calculated the burden
based on a 100% response rate. A twoyear clearance is requested to cover the
collection of data. The burden for the
collection is estimated to be 4,311
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to participate.
