Proposed Project

    Study of Comprehensive Cancer Control and Tobacco Control Program 
Partnerships--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in the 
United States, causing over 443,000 deaths each year and resulting in 
an annual cost of more than $96 billion in direct medical expenses. 
Tobacco control is a top priority for two of CDC's programs. The first 
is the National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP), which is administered 
by the Office on Smoking and Health. The second is the National 
Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP), which is administered by 
the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control. Both programs provide 
funding and technical support for public health programs in states, the 
District of Columbia, tribes/tribal organizations, and U.S. territories 
and Pacific Island jurisdictions.
    CDC recognizes the need for increased collaboration between 
Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) programs and Tobacco Control 
Programs (TCP). Toward this end, CDC plans to conduct a study of 
current partnership efforts involving NCCCP awardees and NTCP awardees. 
Information will be collected to improve understanding of the ways in 
which CCCs and TCPs may collaborate to address cancer and tobacco 
control, and how these programs utilize their respective networks to 
cross-promote activities. The study will be conducted in seven states 
that: (1) Are funded through both the NCCCP and the NTCP, and (2) have 
an established relationship between the two programs.
    Respondents for the Study of Comprehensive Cancer Control and 
Tobacco Control Program Partnerships will be state health department 
leaders, CCC and TCP staff (e.g., program directors, evaluation 
specialists, media specialists, quitline coordinators), and other 
stakeholders, such as coalition members. Information will be collected 
through in-person interviews involving approximately 15 respondents in 
each state. Respondents will be asked about key aspects of their 
program's structure, activities, and collaborative efforts. Each 
interview will last approximately 45 minutes to one hour. CDC will 
provide each participating state with guidance and worksheets to 
prepare for site visits and key informant interviews.
    OMB approval will be requested for one year. The information to be 
collected will be used to develop examples of successful strategies 
used by selected CCCs and TCPs to cross-collaborate and cross-promote 
programs/services, and to identify new areas of potential collaboration 
that may be shared with CDC, other Federal agencies, and other CCC and 
TCP states for replication. This study is one component of a larger, 
ARRA-funded effort to compare the effectiveness of traditional 
evidence-based tobacco cessation interventions to newer and innovative 
interventions used by CCC programs.
    The total estimated annualized burden hours are 113. There are no 
costs to respondents other than their time.
