Proposed Project

    Economic Analysis of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early 
Detection Program (NBCCEDP)--New--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCDDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The CDC-funded National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection 
Program (NBCCEDP) is the largest organized cancer screening program in 
the United States. The NBCCEDP provides critical breast and cervical 
cancer screening services to underserved women through grants to 50 
states, the District of Columbia, 4 U.S. territories, and 13 American 
Indian/Alaska Native organizations. In the past decade, the NBCCEDP has 
provided over 7.2 million breast and cervical cancer screening and 
diagnostic exams to over 3 million low-income women. Women diagnosed 
with cancer through the program are eligible for Medicaid coverage 
through the Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention

and Treatment Act passed by Congress in 2000.
    CDC proposes to collect one year of cost data from all 68 NBCCEDP 
grantees in order to conduct the first systematic, activity-based 
analysis of the costs and cost-effectiveness of the NBCCEDP. The 
information required to perform an activity-based cost analysis 
includes: Staff and consultant salaries, screening costs, contracts and 
material costs, provider payments, in-kind contributions, 
administrative costs, allocation of funds, and staff time devoted to 
specific program activities. Data will be collected electronically via 
a Web-based Cost Assessment Tool (CAT).
    CDC will use information collected through the CAT to assess the 
costs of various program components, identify factors that impact 
average cost, perform cost-effectiveness analysis, and to develop a 
resource allocation tool for ensuring the most appropriate use of 
limited program resources.
    NBCCEDP grantees currently report information on screening and 
diagnosis volumes (the effectiveness measures for the program) as part 
of the Minimum Data Elements (MDE)/System for Technical Assistance 
Reporting (STAR) (OMB 0920-0571, exp. 1/31/2010). Information to be 
collected through the CAT will complement information currently 
collected through the MDE/STAR.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 1,496.
