    Information Collection Request Title: Out, Proud, and Healthy 
Fitness Project.
    Abstract: The Office of Women's Health (OWH) and the Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS) Coordinating Committee on Lesbian, Gay, 
Bi-sexual and Transgender (LGBT) Issues have prioritized the collection 
of health data on LGBT populations. In response, OWH funded an 
initiative to identify and test effective and innovative ways of 
reducing obesity in lesbian and bisexual women. The planned 
intervention developed in St Louis Missouri is called the ``Out, Proud, 
and Health Fitness Project'' has been developed to address what is 
currently known about local LB women's community norms, common barriers 
to health, patterns of physical and mental health access, and 
preferences for health services and health outcomes. The interventions 
will offer randomized controlled trial intervention--fitness education 
classes, evidence-based personalized exercise routines, a gym 
membership, a smart pedometer to motivate users to increase physical 
activity and health education classes focused on increasing healthy 
lifestyle choices. The project is scheduled for one year.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Addresses barriers to 
health for the LB community, and promotes overall health and wellbeing. 
The intervention will incorporate community-identified weight loss/risk 
reduction needs of this population. Following the completion of the 
surveys and interventions, collected data will be used to develop a 
``Toolkit'' that other organizations can use to promote healthy weight 
in older LB women.
    Likely Respondents: Lesbian and bi-sexual women forty years of age 
and older.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions, to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information, to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and 
review the collection of information, and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
