Proposed Project

    CDC Work@Health Program: Phase 1 Needs Assessment and Pilot 
Training Evaluation--New--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is 
establishing the Work@Health Program, a comprehensive workplace health 
promotion training program, to support employers' efforts to create 
healthy work environments and provide employees with opportunities to 
make healthy lifestyle choices. The Work@Health curriculum will be 
based on a problem-solving approach to improving employer knowledge and 
skills related to effective, science-based workplace health programs, 
and supporting the adoption of these programs in the workplace.
    The Work@Health Program will train and support small, mid-size, and 
large employers with three primary goals: (1) Increase understanding of 
the training needs of employers and the best way to deliver skill-based 
training to them; (2) Increase employers' level of knowledge and 
awareness of workplace health program concepts and principles as well 
as tools and resources to support the design, implementation, and 
evaluation of effective workplace health strategies and interventions; 
and (3) Increase the number of science-based workplace health programs, 
policies, and practices in place at participating employers' worksites 
and increase the access and opportunities for employees to participate 
in them.
    The Work@Health Program will be implemented in two phases. In Phase 
1, CDC will conduct an employer needs assessment, develop training 
models, and conduct pilot training and evaluation with approximately 60 
employers and other organizations. In Phase 2, CDC will transition to 
full-scale program implementation and evaluation involving 
approximately 600 employers and other organizations. CDC is requesting 
OMB approval to initiate Phase 1 information collection in summer 2013.
    A one-time Training Needs Assessment Survey will be administered 
electronically to 200 employers representing small, mid-size, and large 
businesses from various industry sectors and geographic locales. The 
needs assessment survey will allow CDC to assess employer preferences 
with respect to curriculum content, the types of support materials 
needed by employers and the appropriate level of detail for these 
materials, and the best approaches for providing technical assistance 
to employers.
    CDC plans to pilot the training with 60 employers in four models 
(formats), with 15 employers participating in each: (1) A ``Hands-on'' 
instructor-led workshop model (T1), (2) a self-paced ``Online'' model 
(T2), (3) a combination or ``Blended'' model (T3), and (4) a ``Train-
the-Trainer'' model (T4) designed to prepare qualified individuals to 
train employers through the Hands-on, Online, or Blended models. Upon 
completion of the pilot training, each participant will be asked to 
complete a 15-20 minute evaluation survey to allow CDC to assess 
respondent satisfaction with the procedures, methods, content and 
strategies employed in each Work@Health training model.

[[Page 44567]]

    Participation in the Work@Health Program needs assessment and pilot 
training evaluation surveys is voluntary for employers. There are no 
costs to participants other than their time.
    CDC will use the information collected in the needs assessment 
survey to inform the development of the Work@Health training curriculum 
and delivery methods. The information collected in the pilot training 
surveys will be used to assess respondent satisfaction with and 
suggestions for the procedures, methods, content and strategies 
employed in each Work@Health training model.
    OMB approval is requested for one year. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 117.
