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

    Exploratory Research with People Living with Lung Cancer--New--
Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC), National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Lung cancer is the most common cancer and is the leading cause of 
cancer related mortality in the world. Each year, over 215,000 
Americans are diagnosed with lung cancer and a similar number die from 
the disease. The five-year survival rate for lung cancer is 15%. The 
needs of individuals affected by lung cancer have received less 
attention in health care research than the needs of individuals with 
other types of cancer. This results in a gap in knowledge about a 
significant number of people living with the diagnosis of lung cancer.
    CDC proposes to conduct formative research to improve understanding 
of the challenges and needs of individuals living with lung cancer. 
Because smoking is one of the primary risk factors for lung cancer, the 
research will include respondents with different types of smoking 
history. This research will explore the influence of smoking status on 
individual experience with cancer diagnosis, stigma and discrimination, 
as well as counseling and support services. For example, individuals 
who have never smoked may face challenges in obtaining an initial 
diagnosis of lung cancer, while current or former smokers may feel 
subject to judgments or blame from others, including medical providers 
as well as family and friends.
    Information will be collected during in-depth interviews (IDIs) 
with 27 respondents between the ages of 30 and 80 who have been 
diagnosed with lung cancer. Three different types of respondents will 
be recruited from partnering clinical practices in two U.S. cities 
(Greensboro, North Carolina and Temple, Texas): individuals who are 
Smokers (9), individuals who are Former Smokers (9), and individuals 
who Never Smoked (9). Each telephone interview will last approximately 
one hour.
    The results of this exploratory research project will inform future 
research activities and the development of health-related information 
and services that will benefit individuals living with lung cancer. 
Project goals support the goals for cancer and communication described 
in Healthy People 2010.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated burden hours are 50.
