Proposed Project

    CDC Workplace Health Promotion Resource Center--New--National 
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC plans to conduct information collection needed to design and 
implement a new CDC Workplace Health Promotion Resource Center 
(Resource Center), where relevant resources will be vetted, catalogued, 
compiled, and made publicly available to employers and other key 
stakeholders. Through the Resource Center, CDC will also provide 
technical

[[Page 59630]]

assistance (TA) to employers, with the ultimate aim of improving 
population health, reducing health care utilization, and improving the 
productivity of employees. These activities are consistent with CDC's 
role as the primary Federal agency for protecting health and promoting 
quality of life through the prevention and control of disease, injury, 
and disability.
    Public and private employers can play a significant role in 
improving the health and well-being of American workers, but often lack 
the know-how to do so effectively. CDC plays an important role in 
providing the tools, resources, and technical expertise to support 
employers' efforts to build and sustain workplace health promotion 
(WHP) programs and advance healthy company cultures.
    The primary goal of the Resource Center is to serve as a prominent 
and effective resource for employers wishing to create and sustain 
best-practice WHP initiatives. The project will take place over two 
phases. In Phase 1, CDC will conduct formative research via interviews, 
a web-based survey, and an environmental scan of market research 
reports and other related documents to obtain direct input on 
stakeholder needs for the Resource Center. This information will be 
used to design and create the content and layout of the Resource 
Center. In Phase 2, CDC will use a consumer satisfaction survey, a TA 
feedback survey, and a TA Pilot assessment to assess satisfaction with 
the Resource Center and with the TA support mechanisms designed to 
support users of the Resource Center. This information will be used to 
refine and improve the design and content of the Resource Center and 
TA. The target audience includes employers, business groups, workplace 
health vendors and consultants, health departments, journalists, and 
researchers.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. The first and second 
year will be dedicated to the Phase 1 formative work and Resource 
Center development. In years 2 and 3 (Phase 2), the Resource Center 
will be launched and technical assistance provided. An evaluation of 
customer satisfaction with the Resource Center, IC and technical 
assistance will be conducted. CDC estimates that a total 850 employers 
and stakeholders will participate in surveys and interviews associated 
with Phase 1 and that approximately 850 employers and stakeholders will 
complete the customer satisfaction survey and an additional 3-5 states 
will participate in the technical assistance pilot. Participation is 
voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. 
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 138.
