To meet CDC’s goal for a rigorous,
comprehensive evaluation, this
collection is proposing a mixed-method
quasi-experimental design with the
following three aims to evaluate the
2022 CDC Clinical Practice Guideline:
• Aim 1: Dissemination—Assess
CDC’s efforts in disseminating the 2022
CDC Clinical Practice Guideline.
• Aim 2: Impact—Evaluate the impact
of the 2022 CDC Clinical Practice
Guideline through population-wide
changes in prescribing practices for
opioids and medications for opioid use
disorder.
• Aim 3: Implementation—Evaluate
the implementation of the 2022 CDC
Number of
respondents
interviews with dentists, virtual
interviews with leaders from
professional organizations, payers,
medical boards, and health systems, and
virtual focus groups with patients and
caregivers.
The CDC will use this information
collection to evaluate the dissemination,
impact, and implementation of the 2022
CDC Clinical Practice Guideline to
ensure that Americans have access to
safer, effective ways of managing their
pain. CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 325 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Background and Brief Description
Surgical smoke produced during
tissue cutting and cauterizing tissues
and blood vessels generates hazardous
gaseous compounds and aerosols that
are associated with cancer and
respiratory irritation; however, no
research has characterized surgical
smoke generated from animal tissue in
clinical veterinary settings. Surgical
smoke exposure is an emerging concern
in human operating rooms, and several
states have either passed or are
considering bills requiring surgical
smoke evacuation systems in human
operating rooms to mitigate this
occupational hazard. Surgical suites in
veterinary clinics are often multiple bay
suites or have less effective ventilation
systems than human operating rooms,
potentially leading to higher exposure
levels, yet no research has examined
barriers and aids to the use of surgical
smoke evacuation systems among
veterinary medicine/animal care (VM/
AC) personnel.
The proposed project will
characterize occupational exposure to
surgical smoke and related respiratory
health effects in clinical veterinary
settings. Data will be used to examine:
(1) work-related factors that contribute
to exposure to surgical smoke in clinical
veterinary settings; (2) relationships
between surgical smoke exposure in
clinical veterinary settings and
respiratory health; and (3) barriers and
aids to implementing surgical smoke
extraction systems that reduce
occupational exposures to surgical
smoke. Findings from this study will
help to provide guidance on engineering
controls to improve air quality in VM/
AC personnel’s work environment by
reducing exposure to surgical smoke.
Three veterinary teaching hospitals
and a national network of community
veterinary clinics have been recruited to
participate in this research. VM/AC
personnel at collaborating field study
sites will have the opportunity to
voluntarily express interest in
participating by completing a brief
expression of interest form. Study
participants will complete: (1) a
baseline questionnaire that collects data
on demographics, work history, job
tasks, exposures to respiratory hazards
(including surgical smoke), use of
personal protective equipment,
workplace safety climate, and
respiratory health and symptoms; and
(2) a post-shift questionnaire assessing
acute respiratory symptoms and job
tasks during the work shift.
This is a new data collection, with
approval requested for three years. CDC
requests OMB approval for an estimated
107 annual burden hours. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time to participate.
