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

    A Study of Primary and Secondary Prevention Behaviors Practiced 
Among Five-Year Survivors of Colorectal Cancer--New--National Center 
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer and the 
second leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the 
United States. In 2004, there were an estimated 145,083 new cases of 
colorectal cancer diagnosed and 53,580 deaths. However, the five-year 
relative survival rates of patients diagnosed with CRC have been 
steadily increasing since 1975 and there are now over one million CRC 
survivors in the U.S.
    Despite improved survival rates, CRC survivors are at an elevated 
risk for cancer recurrence, second primary cancers, and other health 
problems after being treated for cancer. Research evidence suggests 
that these elevated risks can be mitigated by healthy lifestyle 
practices and by undergoing regular medical follow-up and cancer 
screenings, however, little is known about the factors that motivate or 
hinder the adoption of recommended cancer prevention and screening 
behaviors in this population.
    CDC proposes to conduct a survey of five-year CRC survivors to 
collect information about knowledge, attitudes, psychosocial factors, 
health status and behaviors, and utilization of health care services 
including screening services. Potential survey respondents will be 
identified through California Cancer Registry records. Each physician 
associated with one or more CRC patients will be responsible for 
reviewing a customized list of names to identify patients who should 
not be contacted for recruitment into the study. Following receipt of 
physician permission to contact potential participants, and receipt of 
participant consent, 1,000 respondents will complete a survey of health 
behaviors. Approximately 900 respondents are expected to complete a 
self-administered survey that will be delivered and returned by mail, 
and 100 respondents are expected to complete the survey by computer-
assisted telephone interview, in response to a follow-up call from 
study staff. OMB clearance is being requested for one year of data 
collection.
    Findings from this study will help guide future policies, programs, 
and interventions developed to enhance and improve the long-term health 
and well being of cancer survivors.
    There are no costs to respondents except the time to complete the 
survey. The total estimated burden hours are 1,095.
