Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

    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 404-639-4766 
and send comments to Seleda Perryman, CDC Assistant Reports Clearance 
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail 
to [email protected].
    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 collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways

Proposed Project

    Issues Related to the Use of Mass Media in African-American Women: 
Phase II--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Coordinating Center for Health Promotion 
(CoCHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Women's health programs, including the National Breast and Cervical 
Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), offer low-cost or free breast 
cancer screening to uninsured, low-income women. In 1991, CDC 
established the NBCCEDP to increase breast and cervical cancer 
screening among uninsured, underserved, low-income women. To date, over 
1.5 million women have received services from NBCCEDP-sponsored 
programs. Yet NBCCEDP-sponsored programs are estimated to reach only 
18% of women 50 years old and older who are eligible for screening 
services. A research priority for the NBCCEDP is to identify effective 
strategies to increase enrollment among eligible women who have never 
received breast or cervical cancer screening. Why women do not 
participate in this screening is not well understood.
    As part of an ongoing study, the purpose of this task is to (1) 
test consumer response to concepts that arose in the Phase I formative 
research related to breast cancer screening and (2) test a series of 
radio health messages aimed at increasing mammography screening among 
low-income African American women for cultural appropriateness.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate 
in the survey.
