    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a 
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the 
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of

Proposed Project: Healthy Schools, Healthy Communities User/Visit 
Surveys--NEW

    The Bureau of Primary Health Care of HRSA is planning to conduct 
User/Visit Surveys of the Healthy Schools, Healthy Communities (HSHC) 
Program. The purpose of these surveys is to obtain nationally 
representative data about the patients of HSHC health centers and the 
services provided to them. The study consists of two parts. One is the 
User Survey, which involves interviewing HSHC patients or their parents 
about the patients' health and health care. The second is the Visit 
Survey, in which patient visit data will be collected from medical 
records in order to find out what health services are being used by

[[Page 3728]]

patients. The data collected will provide policymakers with a better 
understanding of the services students are receiving at HSHC health 
centers and how well these centers are meeting the needs of students. 
The surveys will provide new information about health care received in 
HSHC settings.
    Data from the surveys will provide quantitative information on the 
population served by the HSHC program, specifically: (a) 
Sociodemographic characteristics, (b) health care access and 
utilization, (c) health status and morbidity, (d) health care 
experiences and risk behaviors, (e) content of medical encounters, (f) 
preventive care and (g) patient satisfaction. These surveys will 
provide data useful to the program and will enable HRSA to provide data 
required by Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act 
of 1993.
    The estimated burden on respondents is as follows:
