The Centers for Disease

the Department of Health and Human
Services, as part of its continuing effort
to reduce public burden and maximize
the utility of government information,
invites the general public and other
federal agencies the opportunity to
comment on a proposed information
collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice
invites comment on a proposed
information collection project titled
Assessing Knowledge, Attitudes, and
Practices (KAPs) of Hispanic/Latina
Women of Reproductive Age about Folic
Acid Fortification and
Supplementation. The data collection
will involve focus groups of Hispanic/
Latina populations to understand
knowledge, awareness, and practices
about use of folic acid and fortified food
for neural tube defect (NTD) prevention.
DATES: CDC must receive written
comments on or before January 23,
2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2022–

must obtain approval from the Office of

proposed collection, each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
a previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Background and Brief Description
A contemporary understanding of
cultural factors in the decision-making
process and how certain populations of
women obtain information is needed for
Hispanic/Latina women of reproductive
age (WRA) to increase their knowledge
and intake of folic acid to prevent
neural tube defects (NTD).
Previous research highlighted
important nuances in potential cultural
beliefs regarding folic acid. A study of
Spanish-speaking, Hispanic/Latina
women in the southwest United States
found no cultural barriers to
incorporating folic-acid rich foods into
their diets; however, focus groups of
Mexican-American women within the
study found several cultural barriers.
These included: misperception of the
term folic acid as an illegal substance
(as the word ‘‘acid’’ is sometimes used
to describe the drug LSD); the
importance of folic acid in preventing
NTDs since their healthcare providers
did not talk to them about folic acid; the
absence of folic acid in injectable form
at the pharmacy; and mistaken beliefs
that birth defects are not preventable
(resulting from an act of God). Other
Proposed Project
Assessing Knowledge, Attitudes, and
Practices (KAPs) of Hispanic/Latina
studies also present contradictory
findings suggesting that Spanishspeaking, Mexican-American women
have increased awareness of the
association between folate and birth
defects compared to English-speaking,
Mexican-American women. Although
several studies have examined beliefs
and best practices for promoting folic
acid consumption, more research is
needed to determine cultural factors in
the decision-making process around
folic acid intake for Hispanic/Latina
WRA.
The objective of this project is to
conduct formative research with
Hispanic/Latina WRA and leadership
from key organizations that serve
Hispanic/Latina populations to
understand the following: (1) knowledge
and awareness about folic acid and
fortified food for NTD prevention; (2)
practices around consumption of
fortified foods as well as traditional food
items that may or may not be fortified
and supplement use; and (3) appropriate
messages and dissemination channels to
improve folic acid intake from
supplements and folic acid fortified
foods among Hispanic/Latina WRA.
This information collection will
involve focus groups with Hispanic/
Latina WRA. CDC requests OMB
approval for an estimated 63 annual
burden hours. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time to
participate.
