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

Proposed Project

    Case Studies of Communities and States Funded under Community 
Activities under the Communities Putting Prevention to Work 
Initiative--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes are 
among the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, 
but are among the most preventable health problems. Adopting healthy 
behaviors such as eating nutritious foods, being physically active and 
avoiding tobacco use can prevent or control the devastating effects of 
these diseases.
    The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) allotted 
$650 million to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to 
support evidence-based prevention and wellness strategies. The 
cornerstone of the initiative is the Communities Putting Prevention to 
Work (CPPW) Community Program, administered by the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC). Through this program, all States and 
territories, and 44 communities, have received cooperative agreement 
funding to implement evidence-based community approaches to chronic 
disease prevention over a 24-month period. In September 2010, the 
initiative was expanded to include additional communities funded 
through a $34 million allotment from the Affordable Care Act. The long-
term goals of the CPPW are to modify the environmental determinants of 
risk factors for chronic diseases, prevent or delay chronic diseases, 
promote wellness in children and adults, and provide positive, 
sustainable health change in communities.
    Grantees are working with partners such as local and State health 
departments and agencies, health centers, schools, businesses, 
community and faith-based organizations, academic institutions, health 
care and mental health organizations, and others to create policies, 
systems, and environments that promote improvements in physical 
activity and nutrition, and decrease the prevalence of obesity and 
tobacco use. Each grantee has selected strategies for implementing 
change from five categories involving media, access, price, point of 
purchase decision, and support services (MAPPS). These approaches were 
selected from a reference set of evidence-based strategies provided by 
CDC.
    CDC proposes to collect information from a subset of CPPW States 
and communities to gain insight into the factors that facilitate or 
hinder implementation of the MAPPS strategies and effective creation of 
the desired policy, system, and environmental changes. Intensive case 
studies will be conducted with 24 sites: Six ARRA-funded CPPW States, 
15 ARRA-funded CPPW communities, and three communities funded by the 
Affordable Care Act. The case study sites will be selected to include a 
mix of State or community characteristics related to population 
density, geographic region, and targeted population.
    Information will be collected during personal interviews with an 
average of 20 respondents at each case study site. On average, each 
site's respondents will consist of the program director and one 
additional member of the site management team; four additional CPPW 
staff members; a mix of seven Community Partners, Leadership Team 
Members and implementers; and a mix of seven policy- and decision-
makers. To obtain a variety of perspectives, respondents will include 
representatives of the private sector as well as representatives from 
the State and local government sector. The length of the interview and 
the questions asked will vary according to the type of respondent being 
interviewed. Three Interview Guide instruments have been developed to 
facilitate the case study interviews.
    The interview scheduling process is also estimated to entail six 
hours of burden per site. Each site's program director will take about 
one hour to complete an Interview Planning Tool, and a CPPW staff 
member will devote approximately five hours to coordinating interviews 
and completing the final Worksheet for Scheduling Site Visit 
Interviews.
    Participation is required for each case study site, however, 
participation in the interviews will be voluntary for individual 
respondents.
    The case study information to be collected will assist the Federal 
government, State and local governments, and communities in planning 
future strategies designed to promote sustainable policy, systems and 
environmental changes that improve public health. As a result of the 
CPPW program, powerful models of success are expected to emerge that 
can be replicated in other States and communities.
    OMB approval is requested for two years. Information will be 
collected at the beginning of the CPPW funding period and again 
approximately 18 months post-award. The total estimated annualized 
burden to respondents is 678 hours. There are no costs to respondents 
other than their time.
