Proposed Project

    Evaluation of the Successful Business Strategies to Prevent Heart 
Disease and Stroke Toolkit--NEW--Division for Heart Disease and Stroke 
Prevention (DHDSP), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Under Part C (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) of the 
Statement of Organization Functions, and Delegations of Authority of 
the Department of Health and Human Services (45 FR 67772-76, dated 
October 14, 1980, and corrected at 45 FR 69296, October 20, 1980, as 
amended most recently at 70 FR 72842-72843, dated December 7, 2005), 
the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, National Center 
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention was established. This Division plans, 
directs, and coordinates programs to reduce morbidity, risk factors, 
costs, disability, mortality, and disparities associated with heart 
disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular disease outcomes. Under this 
Division, formative research was conducted to identify effective 
interventions and promising practices for preventing heart disease and 
stroke at the work site. In 2005, this research resulted in the 
development of a Successful Business Strategies to Prevent Heart 
Disease and Stroke Toolkit. The toolkit provides state programs with 
suggestions about which health benefits, services, and interventions 
can improve employee cardiovascular health, prevent heart disease and 
stroke, and reduce related costs. The second phase of this project 
focuses on disseminating and evaluating the Successful Business 
Strategies to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke Toolkit.
    As part of the Toolkit evaluation, the CDC has employed contractor 
support to design and conduct a Web-based survey of State Health 
Departments to gather information on their experiences with the 
Toolkit. The contractor will collect and analyze all data from this 
survey. The CDC has also contracted to make revisions to the Toolkit 
based on results of this survey, ongoing feedback from the States, and 
feedback from employers through interviews.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time to complete the 
survey.
