Proposed Project

    National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 
(NBCCEDP) Case Management Survey--New--National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

[[Page 11982]]

    Background and brief description of the proposed project: The 
impact of case management policy on the National Breast and Cervical 
Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) operations and clients is not 
well understood to date. Evaluation results thus far have produced a 
general, qualitative understanding of how case management has been 
implemented by grantees. Questions remain, however, regarding: (1) The 
number of grantees who have implemented different types of financial 
and service delivery models of case management; (2) costs associated 
with different approaches to case management; and (3) whether or not 
case management activities have a positive impact on clients. This 
evaluation project will focus on the first and second questions.
    The purpose of the case management assessment will be to gather 
some quantitative and descriptive information about how the case 
management component has been implemented by all NBCCEDP grantees. 
Results of the evaluation should assist CDC in developing case 
management training, providing technical assistance, and assessing the 
costs of case management. A standardized written survey will be used to 
collect descriptive information from all NBCCEDP grantees on components 
of case management program activities including: organizational 
structure, financial and service delivery models, staffing, and needs 
for training or technical assistance. A total of 68 Breast and Cervical 
Cancer Program Directors will be asked to complete the survey, with 
assistance from program Case Management Coordinators as needed. The 
survey is expected to take an average of 1.5 hours to complete. The 
only cost to respondents is their time. This is a one-time data 
collection effort. The total annualized burden for respondents is 102 
hours.
