Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

    In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public 
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506 (c)(2)(A) of 
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects 
being developed for submission to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To request more 
information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data 
collection plans and draft instruments, call the HRSA Reports Clearance 
Officer at 301-443-1129.
    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 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,

forms of information technology.

Proposed Project: Women's Physical Activity and Healthy Eating Tools 
Assessment: NEW

    The HRSA Office of Women's Health (OWH) developed the Bright 
Futures for Women's Health and Wellness (BFWHW) Initiative to help 
expand the scope of women's preventive health activities, particularly 
related to nutrition and physical activity. An intermediate assessment 
of the BFWHW health promotion consumer materials related to physical 
activity and healthy eating will be conducted in order to assess how 
the BFWHW materials can stimulate a conversation on physical activity 
and healthy eating during a clinical encounter; inform future BFWHW 
programming, and add to the peer-reviewed literature regarding women's 
health and wellness initiatives.
    Towards this end, anonymous assessment forms will be used to 
collect data from young and adult women clients, health care providers, 
and administrators of health centers. Data collected will include 
process and outcome measures. Data domains include: The distribution 
and use of the materials in the health care setting during wellness and 
health maintenance/check-up visits; client and provider awareness of 
physical activity and nutrition behaviors; attitudes about the 
importance of physical activity and nutrition; self-efficacy; and 
increase in knowledge and intent to change physical activity and 
nutrition behaviors.
    A total of six organizations, which may include Federally Qualified 
Health Centers/Community Health Centers, faith-based organizations that 
offer health care services, worksite health centers, and school-based 
health clinics, will be selected for the study. Young women will 
complete anonymous assessment forms at school-based health centers; 
adult women will be assessed at other health care organizations. The 
providers at these sites will also be asked to complete a brief one-
time anonymous assessment form. Telephone interviews will be conducted 
with an administrator of each of these sites as well. The data 
collection period at each site is estimated to last four months. The 
estimated response burden is as follows:
