Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 498-1210. Send written 
comments to CDC, Desk Officer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, New 
Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503. Written 
comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
    Proposed Project: Evaluation of the ACT (Adults and Children 
Together) Against Violence Community Training Program--New--National 
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC). The goal of the ACT Against Violence 
Community Training Program is to make early violence prevention a 
central and ongoing part of a community's violence prevention efforts. 
The program involves a training curriculum developed by child 
development and violence prevention experts. The curriculum is designed 
to help communities: (1) Disseminate information and skills on violence 
prevention to adults who raise, care for, and teach young children; (2) 
identify and select early violence prevention programs, materials, and 
resources; (3) work in collaborative efforts established among 
community-based organizations; and (4) develop early childhood violence 
prevention action plans.
    The purpose of the evaluation is to assess pilot implementations of 
the ACT Community Training Program in three communities: Monterey, CA; 
Randolph, NJ; and Kansas City, MO. The objectives of the evaluation are 
to (1) assess whether the Community Training Program is being 
successfully disseminated and implemented; (2) examine factors that 
affect successful dissemination, adoption, and implementation of the 
training program; (3) compare findings across the three sites; and (4) 
assess the involvement of the public health sector in each of the three 
sites.
    Data collected for the evaluation will provide much-needed 
information on the dissemination and implementation of one of the 
successful strategies summarized in the Best Practices of Youth 
Violence Prevention. The results of the evaluation will assist the 
Division of Violence Prevention and the National Center for Injury 
Prevention and Control in carrying out CDC's mission of protecting the 
health of the United States public by providing leadership in 
preventing and controlling injuries through research, surveillance, 
implementation of programs, and communication. The evaluation will 
include semi-structured interviews with local and national program 
stakeholders (forms 1 and 2), focus groups with a subset of ACT 
trainees (``facilitators'') during a site visit (form 3), and a half-
hour telephone survey with the universe of ACT trainees at 6 months 
with e-mail follow-ups at 2 months and 12 months (form 4). In addition, 
we will follow-up with a small subset of ``adult community members'' 
reached by ACT trainees with a half-hour telephone survey (form 5). 
Presented below is the estimated respondent burden for the telephone 
surveys, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups, respectively. 
There are no costs to respondents.
