Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted 
the following information collection request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed 
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public 
and affected agencies.
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (a) 
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including

collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; (d) Minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses; and 
(e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to

Proposed Project

    Research on the Efficacy and Feasibility of Essentials for 
Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers--New--National Center for Injury 
Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks a two-
year OMB approval to conduct a new information collection for a study 
entitled, ``Research on the Efficacy and Feasibility of Essentials for 
Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers''.
    Child maltreatment is both widespread and impactful. It is 
estimated that 1 in 58 U.S. children had been maltreated in a 1-year 
period (i.e., victims of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse or 
neglect). Millions of other American children are exposed to 
maltreatment that does not meet thresholds for clinical significance, 
but is nonetheless detrimental to child health.
    Parent training is arguably the single most effective prevention 
initiative developed to date. Although there are potentially far-
reaching impacts of parent training to improve public health, 
empirically-supported parent training is not widely available. The 
public health challenge is how to make the content of these 
empirically-supported parent training programs--which largely focus on 
the same parenting skills and approaches--accessible to the majority of 
American parents.
    To leverage the strength of empirically supported parent training 
as a broadly disseminated prevention tool, the CDC has developed a 
resource tool called ``Essentials for Parenting Toddlers and 
Preschoolers (EFP)''. This web-based resource includes the typical 
content of empirically supported parent training programs and uses a 
psychoeducational approach including modeling (through its videos) and 
practice (through its activities).
    This study is an empirical evaluation using an intensive repeated 
measures design to test the efficacy, feasibility, and use of EFP as 
administered in guided and unguided formats. The proposed data 
collection fits into NCIPC's research agenda's priorities in preventing 
child maltreatment.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annual burden hours are 2,050.
