Proposed Project
Shigella Hypothesis Generating
Questionnaire—New—National Center
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Shigella are a family of bacteria that
cause the diarrheal disease shigellosis. It
is estimated that Shigella causes about
500,000 cases of diarrhea in the United
States annually. From 2007 through
2017, there have been 1,046 outbreaks of
shigellosis in the United States, with
most of these outbreaks attributed to
person to person spread. Outbreaks of
shigellosis have been reported in a range
of settings such as community-wide,
daycares, schools, restaurants, and
retirement homes. Outbreaks of
shigellosis have impacted a range of
populations such as children, men who
have sex with men, people experiencing
homelessness, tight knit religious
communities, international travelers,
and refugees/displaced persons. Finally,
outbreaks of shigellosis have been
attributed to a range of transmission
modes including person-to-person/no
common source, sexual person-toperson contact, contaminated food, and
contaminated water. As part of Shigella
outbreak investigations, it is common
for state and local health departments to
conduct comprehensive interviews with
cases and contacts to identify how
individuals became sick with
shigellosis, to identify individuals who
could have come into contact with an
individual sick with shigellosis, and to
identify strategies to control the cluster
or outbreak. As person-to-person contact
is the most common mode of
transmission for shigellosis, and
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
shigellosis is highly contagious, it can
be challenging to identify how
individuals could have become ill. As a
result, comprehensive hypothesis
generating questionnaires focused on a
range of settings, activities, and
potential modes of transmission are
needed to guide prevention and control
activities.
There is currently no national,
standardized hypothesis generating
interview data collection instrument for
use during single or multistate
shigellosis cluster or outbreak
investigations. More detailed data about
shigellosis cases involved in single or
multistate clusters or outbreaks are
needed to better characterize the
epidemiology of clusters and outbreaks
and to identify modes or settings of
importance by collecting the following
information. This information will not
only help inform routine cluster and
outbreak investigation activities but also
guide awareness efforts and appropriate
prevention strategies. To meet these
needs the Shigella Hypothesis
Generating Questionnaire (SHGQ) was
developed.
The SHGQ will be administered by
state and local public health officials via
telephone interviews with cases of
shigellosis or their proxy who are part
of a shigellosis cluster or outbreak. The
SHGQ will collect information on
demographics characteristics,
household information and family
member event and activity attendance,
clinical signs and symptoms, medical
care and treatment information, travel
history, contact with international
travelers or other ill individuals, event
and activity attendance, limited food
and water exposure, work, visit, and
volunteer locations, childcare and
school attendance, and recent sexual
partner(s) and activity.
This interview activity is consistent
with the state’s existing authority to
investigate reports of notifiable diseases
for routine surveillance purposes;
therefore, formal consent to participate
in the activity is not required. However,
cases may choose not to participate and
may choose not to answer any question
they do not wish to answer. It will take
health department personnel
approximately 45 minutes to administer
the questionnaire to an estimated 1500
patient respondents. This results in an
estimated annual burden to the public
of 1,125 hours.

Shigella Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire--New--National Center
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for

Background and Brief Description
Shigella are a family of bacteria that cause the diarrheal disease
shigellosis. It is estimated that Shigella causes about 500,000 cases
of diarrhea in the United States annually. From 2007 through 2017,
there have been 1,046 outbreaks of shigellosis in the United States,
with most of these outbreaks attributed to person to person spread.
Outbreaks of shigellosis have been reported in a range of settings such
as community-wide, daycares, schools, restaurants, and retirement
homes. Outbreaks of shigellosis have impacted a range of populations
such as children, men who have sex with men, people experiencing
homelessness, tight knit religious communities, international
travelers, and refugees/displaced persons. Finally, outbreaks of
shigellosis have been attributed to a range of transmission modes
including person-to-person/no common source, sexual person-to-person
contact, contaminated food, and contaminated water. As part of Shigella
outbreak investigations, it is common for state and local health
departments to conduct comprehensive interviews with cases and contacts
to identify how individuals became sick with shigellosis, to identify
individuals who could have come into contact with an individual sick
with shigellosis, and to identify strategies to control the cluster or
outbreak. As person-to-person contact is the most common mode of
transmission for shigellosis, and shigellosis is highly contagious, it
can be challenging to identify how individuals could have become ill.
As a result, comprehensive hypothesis generating questionnaires focused
on a range of settings, activities, and potential modes of transmission
are needed to guide prevention and control activities.
There is currently no national, standardized hypothesis generating
interview data collection instrument for use during single or
multistate shigellosis cluster or outbreak investigations. More
detailed data about shigellosis cases involved in single or multistate
clusters or outbreaks are needed to better characterize the
epidemiology of clusters and outbreaks and to identify modes or
settings of importance by collecting the following information. This
information will not only help inform routine cluster and outbreak
investigation activities but also guide awareness efforts and
appropriate prevention strategies. To meet these needs the Shigella
Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire (SHGQ) was developed.
The SHGQ will be administered by state and local public health
officials via telephone interviews with cases of shigellosis or their
proxy who are part of a shigellosis cluster or outbreak. The SHGQ will
collect information on demographics characteristics, household
information and family member event and activity attendance, clinical
signs and symptoms, medical care and treatment information, travel
history, contact with international travelers or other ill individuals,
event and activity attendance, limited food and water exposure, work,
visit, and volunteer locations, childcare and school attendance, and
recent sexual partner(s) and activity.
This interview activity is consistent with the state's existing
authority to investigate reports of notifiable diseases for routine
surveillance purposes; therefore, formal consent to participate in the
activity is not required. However, cases may choose not to participate
and may choose not to answer any question they do not wish to answer.
It will take health department personnel approximately 45 minutes to
administer the questionnaire to an estimated 1500 patient respondents.
This results in an estimated annual burden to the public of 1,125
