Extension of Existing Collection of Information Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations, 6560-6561 [2022-02403]

Download as PDF 6560 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 24 / Friday, February 4, 2022 / Notices for cancer survivors. Toward this end, the DCPC supports the scientific development and implementation of various health communication campaigns with an emphasis on specific cancer burdens. This process requires testing of messages, concepts, and materials prior to their final development and dissemination, as described in the second step of the health communication process. The health communication process is a scientific model developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ National Cancer Institute to guide sound campaign development. The communication literature supports various data collection methods to conduct credible formative, concept, message, and materials testing. This process ensures that the public clearly understands cancer-specific information and concepts, are motivated to take the desired action, and do not react negatively to the messages. CDC was previously approved to collect information needed to plan and tailor cancer communication campaigns (OMB Control No. 0920–0800, Exp. 10/31/ 2021), and seeks OMB approval to revise the existing generic clearance to include another cancer-related communications campaign, expand the modes of data collection to include online focus groups and in-depth interviews (in-person, phone, and online), and to focus on respondents from the general public. Information collection will involve discussions to assess numerous qualitative dimensions of cancer prevention and control messages, including but not limited to, cancer knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral intentions, information needs and sources, and compliance with cancer screening as recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force. Insights gained from these discussions will assist in the development and/or refinement of future campaign messages and materials. Communication campaigns and messages will vary according to the type of cancer and the qualitative dimensions of the message described above. A separate information collection request will be submitted to OMB for approval of each discussion activity. The request will describe the purpose of the activity and include the customized information collection instruments. OMB approval is requested for three years. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,680 annual burden hours. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents except their time.

The purpose of this information collection request (ICR) is to collect data that assess select cross-cutting outputs and outcomes of the grant (as defined by the framework measures) and that demonstrate the utility of the grant on a national level. This data collection will describe the outcomes of the PHHS Block Grant as a whole, rather than individual grantee activities or outcomes. Findings from this data collection will be used to: (1) Describe the outcomes and achievements of grantees’ public health efforts and identify how the use of PHHS Block Grant funds contributed to those results, and (2) help assess how the PHHS Block Grant advances work of the public health system and provides evidence to support future budgetary requests. The respondent universe consists of 61 PHHS Block Grant coordinators, or their designees, across 61 health departments (50 states, the District of Columbia, two tribes, five U.S. territories, and three freely associated states).

Proposed Project

    Assessment of Outcomes Associated with the Preventive Health and 
Health Services Block Grant--Extension--Center for State, Tribal, Local 
and Territorial Support (CSTLTS), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    For more than 35 years, the Preventive Health and Health Services 
Block Grant (PHHS Block Grant) has provided flexible funding for all 50 
states, the District of Columbia, two American Indian tribes, five U.S. 
territories, and three freely associated states to address the unique 
public health needs of their jurisdictions in innovative and locally 
defined ways. First authorized by Congress in 1981 through the Public 
Health Service Act (Pub. L. 102-531), the fundamental and enduring 
purpose of the grant has been to provide grantees with flexibility and 
control to address their priority public health needs. In 1992, 
Congress amended the law to align PHHS Block Grant funding priorities 
with the 22 chapters specified in Healthy People (HP) 2000, a set of 
national objectives designed to guide health promotion and disease 
prevention efforts. Additional amendments included set-aside funds 
specifically dedicated to sex offense prevention and victim services, 
thus requiring grantees receiving this support to include related HP 
objectives and activities as part of their PHHS Block Grant--funded 
local programs.
    CDC is establishing a comprehensive, standardized method to collect 
data to describe select outputs and outcomes and ensure the 
accountability of the PHHS Block Grant. The CDC PHHS Block Grant 
Measurement Framework is an innovative approach to assessing cross-
cutting outputs and outcomes resulting from grantees' use of flexible 
grant funds. The framework defines measures that enable CDC to 
standardize the collection of data on grantee achievements. The CDC 
PHHS Block Grant Measurement Framework is an innovative approach to: 
Collecting data on public health infrastructure (i.e., information 
systems, quality improvement, efficiency and effectiveness of programs, 
services, and operations); addressing emerging public health needs; and 
implementing evidence-based public health interventions.
    The purpose of this information collection request (ICR) is to 
collect data that assess select cross-cutting outputs and outcomes of 
the grant (as defined by the framework measures) and that demonstrate 
the utility of the grant on a national level. This data collection will 
describe the outcomes of the PHHS Block Grant as a whole, rather than 
individual grantee activities or outcomes. Findings from this data 
collection will be used to: (1) Describe the outcomes and achievements 
of grantees' public health efforts and identify how the use of PHHS 
Block Grant funds contributed to those results, and (2) help assess how 
the PHHS Block Grant advances work of the public health system and 
provides evidence to support future budgetary requests.
    The respondent universe consists of 61 PHHS Block Grant 
coordinators, or their designees, across 61 health departments (50 
states, the District of Columbia, two tribes, five U.S. territories, 
and three freely associated states). The assessment will be 
administered to PHHS Block Grant coordinators electronically via a web-
based questionnaire. A link to the assessment will be provided by email 
invitation. The survey will be completed once every two years. The 
total annualized estimated burden is 46 hours.
