instrument.
The YRBS assesses priority health risk
behaviors related to the major
preventable causes of mortality,
morbidity, and social problems among
both youth and young adults in the
United States. Data on health risk
behaviors of adolescents are the focus of
approximately 65 national health
objectives in Healthy People 2030, an
initiative of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS). The
YRBS provides data to measure 14
students attending public and private
schools in Grades 9–12, and in 2025, the
validation study will be conducted
among a convenience sample of schools
and students. Information supporting
the YRBS also will be collected from
state-, district-, and school-level
administrators and teachers. The table
below reports the number of
respondents annualized over the threeyear project period. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 4,388.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
Healthy People 2030 objectives. In
addition, the YRBS can identify racial
and ethnic disparities in health risk
behaviors. No other national source of
data measures as many of the Healthy
People 2030 objectives addressing
adolescent health risk behaviors as the
YRBS. The data also will have
significant implications for policy and
program development for school health
programs nationwide.
In Spring 2025 and Spring 2027, the
YRBS will be conducted among
nationally representative samples of

proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
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.
Proposed Project
Global Public Health Data Innovation
(GPHDI) Performance Monitoring—
New—Global Health Center (GHC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Global Public Health Data
Innovation (GPHDI) initiative, led by the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), aims to equip
government decision makers with
timely, accurate, and comprehensive
public health data to effectively prevent,
detect, and respond to public health
threats. Challenges, such as limited data
access, non-standardization, workforce
limitations, and gaps in data systems
and governance, often hinder the
optimal use of data in public health
response efforts. To overcome these
challenges, GPHDI focuses on
strengthening global outbreak response,
pandemic preparedness, and
surveillance through improved data
availability and utilization. This is
achieved by modernizing data systems
and processes at all levels.
GPHDI is made possible by the
American Rescue Plan Act passed by
the Congress in 2021 and is rooted in
key strategic pillars within CDC, namely
the Data Modernization Initiative (DMI)
and the Global Digital Health Strategy
(GDHS). DMI is an agency-wide
initiative aimed at improving data
systems infrastructure within the United
States. It offers valuable insights and
artifacts that can be adapted and
leveraged for the global context of the
GPHDI initiative. The goal of DMI is to
get better, faster, actionable insights for
decision making at all levels of public
health. Complementing this, the GDHS
incorporates inputs from a multi-partner
engagement process, enhancing the
strategic approach of the initiative.
GPHDI is a current three-year
investment that builds on an existing
foundation laid by various country
governments, donor agencies, and
multilateral organizations. This
investment is specifically allocated to
advance the initiative in 10 selected
countries, including Kenya, Sierra
Leone, Uganda, and Zambia in Africa;
Colombia and Paraguay in the South
American Region; Georgia and Ukraine
in Eastern Europe; Thailand in the
Central Asia Region; and Honduras in
the Central American Region. This data
collection is aimed at monitoring and
assessing the contributions of current
GPHDI investments in data
modernization and digital public health
infrastructure towards improving data
availability to prevent, detect, and
respond to public health threats in the
selected countries. The indicators to be
collected include both structured
response-type questions (Yes-No
answers, coded answers) and narrative
response-type questions. CDC
contractors, RTI International (RTI) will
conduct the interviews and CDC funded
implementing partners (IPs) monitoring
and evaluation (M&E) point of contacts
will provide responses to the indicators
based on their funded activities. RTI
will document the responses from the
interviews using CDC RedCap.
Interviews will be conducted in a live
one-on-one session between RTI and
identified M&E point of contacts at the
funded IPs. No patient-level or
individual level or identifiable data will
be collected for this project.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 64 annual burden hours.
Respondents will be responding to this
data collection as a part of the
organizations’ funding requirements and
obligation. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to
participate.
