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) 639-7570 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

    Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the 
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting System (OMB 0920-0612, exp. 3/31/
2013)--Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and 
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The WISEWOMAN program (Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for 
Women Across the Nation), administered by the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC), was established to examine ways to 
improve the delivery of services for women who have limited access to 
health care and elevated risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). 
The program focuses on reducing CVD risk factors and provides screening 
services for select risk factors such as elevated blood cholesterol, 
hypertension and abnormal blood glucose levels. The program also 
provides lifestyle interventions and medical referrals. On an annual 
basis, 21 grantees funded through the WISEWOMAN program have provided 
services to approximately 30,000 women who are already participating in 
the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 
(NBCCEDP), also administered by CDC.
    CDC seeks a one-year extension of OMB approval to collect 
information about WISEWOMAN grantee activities in the final year of the 
five-year cooperative agreement. There are no changes to the number of 
respondents, the data items reported to CDC, the estimated burden per 
response, or the total estimated annualized burden. All information 
will continue to be collected twice per year.
    Information reported to CDC includes baseline and follow-up data 
(12 months post enrollment) for all women served through the WISEWOMAN 
program. These data, called the minimum data elements (MDE), include 
data elements that describe risk factors for the women served in each 
program and data elements that describe the number and type of 
intervention sessions attended. Funded grantees compile the data from 
their existing databases and report the MDE to CDC electronically. The 
estimated burden per response for Screening and Assessment MDE is 16 
hours, and the estimated burden per response for Lifestyle Intervention 
MDE is 8 hours.
    WISEWOMAN grantees also submit semi-annual progress reports that 
describe programmatic activities, public education and outreach, 
professional education, and the delivery of services. Progress reports 
will continue to be submitted to CDC in hardcopy format. The estimated 
burden per response for each progress report is 16 hours.
    The information collection is designed to support continuous 
program monitoring and improvement. CDC uses the MDE data to assess the 
effectiveness of the WISEWOMAN program in

reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease risk factors among women 
who utilize program services. CDC uses the information submitted 
through progress reports to assess each grantee's progress toward 
meeting stated program objectives. Participation in the information 
collection is required under the terms of the WISEWOMAN cooperative 
agreement.
    OMB approval is requested for one year. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 1,680.
