Proposed Project
Medical Monitoring Project (MMP)
(OMB Control No. 0920–0740, Exp. 5/
31/2024)—Revision—National Center
for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Division of HIV
Prevention (DHP) requests a revision of
the currently approved Information
Collection Request: Medical Monitoring
Project (MMP) which expires 5/31/2024.
This data collection addresses the need
for national estimates of access to, and
utilization of HIV-related medical care
and services, the quality of HIV-related
ambulatory care, and HIV-related
behaviors and clinical outcomes. For the
project remain the same as in the
previously approved project. Changes
made, that did not affect the burden, are
listed below:
• Revisions to the interview
questionnaire were made to improve
coherence, boost the efficiency of the
data collection, and increase the
relevance and value of the information.
These changes did not affect the average
burden per response.
• Revisions to the medical record
abstraction data elements were made to
streamline the information collected
and add important questions related to
M-Pox vaccination. Because the medical
records are abstracted by MMP staff,
these changes do not affect the burden
of the project.
This proposed data collection would
supplement the National HIV
Surveillance System (NHSS, OMB
Control No. 0920–0573, Exp. 02/28/
2026) in 23 selected state and local
health departments, which collect
information on persons diagnosed with,
living with, and dying from HIV
infection and AIDS. The participation of
respondents is voluntary. There is no
cost to the respondents other than their
time. Total estimated annual burden
requested is 5,707 hours.
proposed project, the same data
collection methods will be used as for
the currently approved project. Data
would be collected from a probability
sample of HIV-diagnosed adults in the
U.S. who consent to an interview and
abstraction of their medical records. As
for the currently approved project,
deidentified information would also be
extracted from HIV case surveillance
records for a dataset (referred to as the
minimum dataset), which is used to
assess non-response bias, for quality
control, to improve the ability of MMP
to monitor ongoing care and treatment
of people with HIV, and to make
inferences from the MMP sample to
persons with diagnosed HIV nationally.
No other Federal agency collects such
nationally representative populationbased information from adults with
diagnosed HIV. The data are expected to
have significant implications for policy,
program development, and resource
allocation at the state/local and national
levels. The changes proposed in this
request update the data collection
system to meet prevailing information
needs and enhance the value of MMP
data, while remaining within the scope
of the currently approved project
purpose. The burden hours of the

Proposed Project
Evaluation of Healthcare Worker
Mental Health Campaign—New—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
As part of the COVID–19 American
Rescue Plan of 2021, in response to a
congressional mandate, and on the heels
of the passage of the Dr. Lorna Breen
Health Care Provider Protection Act, the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), within the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), is taking an active
stance to address mental health
concerns among the more than 20
million workers in the nation’s
healthcare sector. For many years now,
health workers have reported feeling
undervalued, overworked, and
overwhelmed. A 2012 study that
surveyed more than 7,000 physicians
found that nearly half of them had
symptoms of burnout. The COVID–19
pandemic has only exacerbated the
strain and pressure facing health
workers as they endure unprecedented
challenges that make working in this
field exponentially harder on their own
health and wellbeing. So much so that
the wellbeing of those who dedicate
their days and nights to keeping us
healthy has surpassed a point of crisis.
Depression, anxiety, and PTSD are
highly prevalent among health workers
across the United States. A systematic
review of studies addressing burnout
among nurses found that more than a
third (34.1%) had emotional exhaustion.
A 2020 survey of healthcare workers
found that 86% reported experiencing
anxiety, and 39% did not feel like they
had adequate emotional support.
NIOSH, the federal agency tasked
with conducting research to contribute
to reductions in occupational illnesses,
injuries, and hazards, and its contractor,
JPA Health, plan to develop, implement,
and evaluate a social marketing
campaign that aims to raise health
worker and healthcare executive
awareness of mental health risks,
promote help seeking and treatment
among health workers experiencing
burnout and job-related distress, reduce
stigma associated with health workers’
mental health help seeking, and
establish organizational policies and
practices that support worker mental
health. For NIOSH, this project requires
more than a messaging campaign and
aims to marry communications best
practices with behavior and systems
change strategies to start addressing the
working conditions that contribute to
job-related distress, structural barriers
that prevent health workers from
seeking help, and healthcare executives
from providing mental health services
and supports.
While many individual-level
interventions specific to healthcare and
healthcare workers exist, very few
interventions address the organizational
level causes of health worker burnout. It
is for this reason that we are proposing
a one year approval to collect follow-up
survey data. This will allow us to
examine whether hospital leader and
healthcare worker exposure to, and
engagement with, campaign activities
and messages contribute to changes in
their knowledge, beliefs, and practices
thought to promote healthcare worker
mental health and well-being.
The surveys will include a
representative sample of healthcare
workers and hospital leaders that hail
from relevant partner network
organizations of the All In: Wellbeing
First for Healthcare network. The goal is
a representative sample of 3,000
healthcare workers and 500 hospital
leaders. Assuming a 25% response rate,
JPA/EDC must include 12,000
healthcare workers and 2,000 hospital
leaders in the initial sample. The survey
will be completed at eight and 10
months after campaign launch. Half the
representative sample will be drawn at
each data collection period. Both the
healthcare worker and hospital leader
surveys should take no more than 10
minutes to complete.
The version of the information
collection available during previous
public comment period included a
quasi-experimental study with 12
hospitals (six intervention and six
comparison) and pre-post surveys and
interviews. Due to logistical challenges
and time constraints, the quasiexperimental study has been
discontinued. CDC now requests OMB
approval for an estimated 2,333 annual
burden hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to
participate.

facilities to track blood safety errors and
various healthcare-associated infection
prevention practice methods such as

control adherence rates. NHSN
currently has seven components:
Patient Safety (PS), Healthcare
Personnel Safety (HPS), Biovigilance

Outpatient Procedure (OPC), Dialysis
Component, and the Neonatal
Component. NHSN has increasingly
served as the operating system for HAI
