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) 639-5960 or send an e-mail 
to [email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of 
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-6974. 
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Evaluation of Educational Materials Promoting Informed Decision-
Making About Prostate Cancer Screening--Revision--National Center for 
Chronic Disease and Public Health Promotion (NCDDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among 
men in the United States. Current estimates project that 234,460 new 
cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed, and 27,350 men will die of 
this disease in 2006. The effectiveness of prostate cancer screening 
has not been established. A number of clinical guidelines recommend 
that the potential risks and benefits of prostate cancer screening be 
explained to patients so that they may make informed decisions about 
screening. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a 
decision aid intended as an informed decision making tool to impart 
knowledge and promote provider-patient discussion about prostate cancer 
screening.

[[Page 26540]]

    The proposed study will test the effectiveness of a nationally 
distributed decision aid developed by CDC, and extend the existing 
literature on informed decision making. No past trials of prostate 
cancer screening decision aids have evaluated the role of primary care 
provider practice style. The proposed study results may inform the 
national discussion about informed decision-making and prostate cancer 
screening, and influence the clinical guidelines and primary care 
provider practices on prostate cancer screening. Moreover, the data may 
inform revisions to the current line of prostate cancer screening 
educational materials and influence the development of new materials.
    The randomized control trial (RCT) will recruit 400 men between the 
ages of 50-70 years reporting for health maintenance exams with primary 
care providers. The intervention being tested in this project will be 
the decision aid entitled, Prostate Cancer Screening: A Decision Guide, 
used to assess the main and interactive effects of primary care 
provider practice style and exposure to the decision aid on prostate 
cancer screening.
    In 2005, CDC conducted a replicated measures validation study 
(OMB 0920-0651); Expiration date: 11/30/07, in which measures 
were validated with the target audiences to both versions of the 
decision aid: (1) men eligible for screening in the general population 
(N=200) and (2) African American men eligible for screening (N=200). 
The estimate of burden for the instrument is based on results from this 
study.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The 
total estimated annualized burden hours are 210.
