DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

National Institutes of Health


Submission for OMB review; comment request; California Health 
Interview Survey 2005

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Cancer Institute, the National 
Institutes of Health has submitted to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the information collection 
listed below. This proposed information collection was previously 
published in the Federal Register on August 5, 2004, p. 47450 and 
allowed 60 days for public comment. No public comments were received. 
The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public 
comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, 
and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information 
collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after 
October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control 
number.
    Proposed Collection: Title: California Health Interview Survey 
2005. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of 
Information Collection. The NCI has sponsored two Cancer Control 
Modules to the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), and will be 
sponsoring a third to be admitted in 2005. The CHIS is a telephone 
survey designed to provide population-based, standardized health-
related data to assess California's progress in meeting Healthy People 
2010 objectives for the nation and the state. The CHIS sample is 
designed to provide statistically reliable estimates statewide, for 
California counties, and for California's ethnically and racially 
diverse population. Initiated by the UCLA Center for Health Policy 
Research, the California Department of Health Services, and the 
California Public Health Institute, the survey is funded by a number of 
public and private sources. It was first administered in 2001 to 55,428 
adults and subsequently in 2003 to 42,043 adults. These adults are a 
representative sample of California's non-institutionalized population 
living in households. CHIS 2005, the third bi-annual survey, is planned 
for administration to 55,000 adult Californians. The cancer control 
module, which is similar to that administered in CHIS 2001 and CHIS 
2003, will allow NCI to examine trends in breast cancer screening and 
diagnosis, as well as to study other cancer-related topics, such as 
diet, physical activity and obesity.
    Because California is the most populous and the most racially and 
ethnically diverse state in the nation, the CHIS 2005 sample will yield 
adequate numbers of respondents in key ethnic and racial groups, 
including African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and American Indian/
Alaska Natives. The Latino group will include large numbers of Mexican-
origin, Central Americans, South Americans, and other Latino subgroups; 
the Asian group will include large numbers of respondents in the 
Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean subgroups. NCI will 
compare the CHIS and National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data in 
order to conduct comparative analyses and better estimate cancer risk 
factors and screening among racial/ethnic minority populations. The 
CHIS sample size also permits NCI to create estimates for ethnic 
subdomains of the population, for which NHIS has insufficient numbers 
for analysis. Frequency of Response: One-time. Affected Public: 
Individuals. Type of Respondents: Adults (persons 18 years of age and 
older). The annual reporting burden is as follows:
