DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Public Law 104-13), the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) will publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects being developed for submission to OMB under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. To request more information on the proposed
project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and draft
instruments, call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Data Collection and Reporting Requirements for
Healthy Schools, Healthy Communities Program (OMB No. 0915-0188)--
Extension, No Change--The Healthy schools, Healthy Communities (HSHC)
Initiative was established in Fiscal Year 1994 by the HRSA Bureau of
Primary Healthy Care (BPHC) in coordination with the HRSA Maternal and
Child Health Bureau.
HSHC grantees are required to offer comprehensive primary care
services to
[[Page 63352]]
children in school-based health centers. Grants are made to
organizations that demonstrate that the communities they serve are
subject to poverty and a wide range of health risks, including school
failure and poor health. Many of these programs are located in
medically underserved communities which are geographically and
ethnically diverse. Programs are located in elementary, middle, high
and k-12 schools.
The school-based health centers are collecting data through School
HealthCare ONLINE!!! (SHO), a software program developed for school-
based and school-linked health centers, Headstart through High School.
Grantees abstract information from health center records on persons
served, services provided, and health status, and enter the data into
the SHO System.
The software system is programmed to generate user profiles
(aggregate data only) which are submitted to the BPHC. BPHC uses the
profiles to monitor program activities, assess where technical
assistance is needed, and to respond to inquiries from Congress and
others.
The SHO system is also programmed to produce export files
containing person-level information (stripped of personal identifiers)
which are submitted to the national evaluator. The export data serves
as the basis for the program evaluation and is used for analysis beyond
the scope of the user profiles.
There will be no changes in the forms. Estimates of respondent
burden are as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No. of Responses per Total annual Hours per Response
Burden type respondents respondent responses response burden (hours)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHO System data entry........... 26 600 15,600 0.2 3,120
User Profiles................... 26 4 104 0.5 52
