Proposed Project

    Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the 
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting

[[Page 3738]]

System (OMB 0920-0612, exp. 1/31/2010)--Revision--National 
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes heart disease, 
myocardial infarction, and stroke, is the leading cause of death for 
women in the United States, and is largely preventable. The WISEWOMAN 
program (Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the 
Nation), administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC), was established to examine ways of improving the delivery of 
services for women who have limited access to health care and elevated 
risk factors for CVD. The program focuses on reducing CVD risk factors 
and provides screening services for select risk factors such as 
elevated blood cholesterol, hypertension and abnormal blood glucose 
levels. The program also provides lifestyle interventions and medical 
referrals. The WISEWOMAN program serves women who are participating in 
the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 
(NBCCEDP), also administered by CDC.
    CDC requests OMB approval to continue collecting information from 
WISEWOMAN grantees for three years, with changes. There will be a net 
decrease in the total annualized burden hours. Although the number of 
funded grantees will increase from 15 to 21, the burden per respondent 
will decrease due to changes in the data collection plan and schedule. 
The collection of cost information will be discontinued and the 
Progress Report will be collected semi-annually instead of quarterly.
    Twice per year, each grantee will electronically transmit a Minimum 
Data Elements (MDE) dataset that contains information about the women 
served through the WISEWOMAN program, including their demographics, 
health status, CVD risk factors, referrals and participation in 
lifestyle interventions. In addition, each grantee will submit two 
written progress reports per year. The progress reports provide a 
narrative summary of grantee activities, as well as a discussion of 
each grantee's progress toward meeting stated programmatic objectives. 
The information collected from grantees is used to assess the impact of 
the WISEWOMAN program. The overall program evaluation is designed to 
demonstrate how WISEWOMAN can obtain more complete health data on 
vulnerable populations, promote public education about disease 
incidence and risk-factors, improve the availability of screening and 
diagnostic services for under-served women, ensure the quality of 
services provided to under-served women, and develop strategies for 
improved interventions.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 1,680.
