    In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on 
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. 
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a 
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call the CDC Reports 
Clearance Officer on (404) 639-7090.
    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 Project

    Families, Communities, and Diabetes Management Project--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Division of Diabetes Translation. Diabetes Type 2 is a 
serious chronic metabolic disease with serious potential health 
consequences that include both psychological and physical health 
conditions. Diabetes care is important in the management of this 
disease. Previous studies examining factors that influence diabetes 
management have examined psychological, patient-provider relationships, 
family and social support, health insurance availability and 
utilization, dietary consumption, and levels of physical activity. Most 
of what is known about managing diabetes has been generated using 
results based on findings with predominately white audiences. 
Therefore, NCCDPHP, Division of Diabetes Translation, intends to 
conduct a longitudinal study examining complex inter-and intra-personal 
factors unique to African-American and Mexican-American adults living 
with diabetes. Also contributing to this study will be family members 
of these individuals. Examination of these factors will help to develop 
effective

intervention models for these populations.
    The research design will involve separate samples of African-
Americans and Mexican-Americans between the ages of 40 and 64 with Type 
2 Diabetes. Significant family members of these individuals will also 
participate. Participating families will be divided into two groups, an 
intervention group that will receive the intervention at the beginning 
of the study, and a comparison group that will receive a modified 
version at the end. Both self-report via questionnaires and more 
objective measures (e.g., hemoglobin blood glucose levels) of self-care 
adherence and diabetes control will be measured. Information collected 
will include diabetes knowledge, community characteristics, forms of 
social support, patient-provider relationship, and health care 
coverage. The total cost is estimated at $3,707.473.00
