DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; The National Diabetes
Education Program Survey of the Public
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive
and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to
review and approve the reinstatement without change for the information
collection listed below. The proposed reinstatement without change for
the information collection was previously published in the Federal
Register on January 25, 2012, pages 3783-3784 and allowed 60 days for
public comment. The National Institutes of Health received no comments.
The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public
comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor,
and the respondent is not required to respond to, the collection of
information that has been extended, revised, or implemented unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: The National Diabetes Education Program
Survey of the Public. Type of Information Collection Request:
Reinstatement without change for the approved information collection
[[Page 38073]]
(0925-0552). Need and Use of Information Collection: The
National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is a partnership of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) and more than 200 public and private
organizations.
The longterm goal of the NDEP is to reduce the burden of diabetes
and pre-diabetes in the United States, and its territories, by
facilitating the adoption of proven strategies to prevent or delay the
onset of diabetes and its complications. The NDEP objectives are to:
(1) Increase awareness and knowledge of the seriousness of diabetes,
its risk factors, and effective strategies for preventing type 2
diabetes and complications associated with diabetes; (2) increase the
number of people who live well with diabetes and effectively manage
their disease to prevent or delay complications and improve quality of
life; (3) decrease the number of Americans with undiagnosed diabetes;
(4) Among people at risk for type 2 diabetes, increase the number who
make and sustain effective lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes; (5)
facilitate efforts to improve diabetes-related health care and
education, as well as systems for delivering care; (6) reduce health
disparities in populations disproportionately burdened by diabetes; and
(7) facilitate the incorporation of evidence-based research findings
into health care practices.
Multiple strategies have been devised to address the NDEP
objectives. These have been described in the NDEP Strategic Plan and
include: (1) Promoting and implementing culturally and linguistically-
appropriate diabetes awareness and education campaigns for a wide
variety of audiences; (2) identifying, disseminating, and supporting
the adoption of evidence-based, culturally and linguistically-
appropriate tools and resources that support behavior change, improved
quality of life, and better diabetes outcomes; (3) expanding NDEP reach
and visibility through collaborations with public, private, and
nontraditional partners, and use of national, state, and local media,
traditional and social media, and other relevant channels; and (4)
conducting and supporting the evaluation of NDEP resources, promotions,
and other activities to improve future NDEP initiatives.
The NDEP evaluation will document the extent to which the NDEP
program has been implemented, and how successful it has been in meeting
program objectives. The evaluation relies heavily on data gathered from
existing national surveys such as National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES), the National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS), and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS),
among others for this information. This generic clearance request is
for the collection of additional primary data from NDEP target
audiences on key impact measures that are necessary to effectively
evaluate the program. Approval is requested for a survey of audiences
targeted by the National Diabetes Education Program including people at
risk for diabetes and people with diabetes and their families and the
public.
