Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a

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 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-

Proposed Project

    Tourette Syndrome National Education and Outreach Program--New--
National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities 
(NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This program will collect program evaluation data from participants 
of educational workshops and recipients of educational resources on 
Tourette Syndrome (TS) conducted by the Tourette Syndrome Association 
in a cooperative agreement with the CDC.
    TS is an inherited, neurobiological movement disorder characterized 
by involuntary motor and vocal tics that typically manifest during 
childhood. The exact number of people with TS is unknown. Data from the 
National Survey of Children's Health 2007 resulted in an estimate that 
3 out of every 1,000 U.S. children (about 148,000) 6 through 17 years 
of age had been diagnosed with TS. Higher prevalence estimates obtained 
from community studies likely mean that there are a significant number 
of individuals who have TS, but who have not been diagnosed. TS is 
three to four times more common among males than females.
    It is estimated that tens of thousands or Americans with TS either 
go undiagnosed or the clinical care they do receive is inadequate. 
There is no known cure. The disorder may express itself with mild 
symptoms for some, and severe symptoms for others. Depending on the 
severity and duration, tic symptoms may also be diagnosed as chronic 
motor or vocal tic disorder, transient tic disorder, and tic disorder 
not otherwise specified. TS is associated with a high rate of co-morbid 
conditions.
    There is a lack of accurate treatment information among the medical 
community as well as the general public, and a limited number of expert 
physicians--all resulting in significant under-diagnosis, misdiagnosis, 
and inadequate treatment with scant follow-up care. Children also meet 
with stigma

[[Page 45258]]

and inadequate responses in educational settings, limiting their 
educational and social success.
    To address these issues, the Tourette Syndrome Association has 
developed educational workshops and materials to improve the 
recognition and awareness of TS diagnosis, treatment, co-occurring 
conditions, and quality of life for those impacted by TS. Health 
education programs have been developed for 3 groups of audiences: 
Health professionals, education professionals, and people with TS and 
their families. The format includes general education programs for the 
3 groups, as well as two more in-depth medical training programs for 
physicians on TS and on the Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for 
Tics (CBIT) treatment. In addition, a range of professional health 
education materials in various formats have been developed as 
educational resources and will be disseminated.
    CDC requests OMB approval to collect program evaluation information 
from workshop participants and recipients of educational materials over 
a three-year period. Participants of the workshops and recipients of 
educational resources will be completing program evaluation forms to 
provide information on whether the workshop or resource met the 
educational goals. The information will be used to improve future 
workshops.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annual burden hours are 277.

                                                            Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
