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 email to 
[email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of 
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-5806. 
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Use of Evidence-Based Practices for Comprehensive Cancer Control--
New--National Center on Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    There have been increasing calls in the fields of public health 
generally and cancer control specifically for the dissemination, 
adoption, and implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs). EBPs 
are public health practices (interventions, programs, strategies, 
policies, procedures, processes, and/or activities) that have been 
tested or evaluated and shown to be effective. However, while the 
development, review, and compilation of EBPs has steadily increased 
over time, there is concern that the adoption and implementation of 
those practices, including among cancer control planners and 
practitioners, has not kept pace. Given the gap between the development 
of EBPs and their use, public health and cancer control organizations 
need to place greater emphasis on the promotion and dissemination of 
these practices among those who can use them to improve population 
health. While efforts to promote cancer control EBPs have increased, 
questions remain whether these efforts will result in widespread 
adoption and implementation of EBPs in the context of comprehensive 
cancer control (CCC) in the states, Tribes, and U.S. Associated Pacific 
Island Jurisdictions and territories. National Comprehensive Cancer 
Control Program (NCCCP) grantees may face a number of challenges to 
incorporating EBPs into CCC efforts in their jurisdictions. In order to 
address these barriers effectively and better promote the use of EBPs 
for cancer control, CDC would like to understand (1) how evidence-based

[[Page 68466]]

approaches are currently being used to develop CCC plans; (2) how CCC 
programs identify EBPs; (3) what EBPs have been adopted by CCC 
programs; and (4) what challenges and unintended consequences have been 
encountered in their implementation.
    The purpose of the proposed project is to examine CCC planners' use 
of scientific and practice-based information to inform development of 
CCC plans and to select evidence-based interventions. CDC will sponsor 
two surveys among 66 key CCC stakeholders in the NCCCP-funded states, 
Tribes, and U.S. Associated Pacific Island Jurisdictions and 
territories. The first will be a survey with the 66 Directors of the 
NCCCP-funded programs. The second will be a Web-based survey of key 
program partners/collaborators identified by the Program Directors (on 
average, two partners per Director, or 132 partners) as instrumental to 
the selection and implementation of cancer control EBPs. The surveys 
will identify technical assistance needs of the programs related to 
selection and implementation of EBPs and will contribute to CDC's 
efforts to build the capacities of states, Tribes, and Pacific Island 
Jurisdictions and territories toward more effective efforts in cancer 
prevention and control. In addition, the results may lead to new 
insights and questions that can be addressed in future studies.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. OMB 
approval is requested for one year. The total estimated burden hours 
are 138.
