Proposed Project

    Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the 
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting System (OMB #0920-0612, exp. 12/31/2016)--
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), sponsored 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 selected risk factors such as elevated blood cholesterol, 
hypertension, and abnormal blood glucose levels. The program also 
provides women with referrals to lifestyle programs and medical care. 
The WISEWOMAN program provides services to women who are jointly 
enrolled in the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection 
Program (NBCCEDP), also administered by CDC.
    The WISEWOMAN program is administered by state health departments 
and tribal programs. In 2013, new cooperative agreements were awarded 
under Funding Opportunity Announcement DP13-1302. These awards are 
currently in the final year of funding, but may be extended by CDC for 
one additional year, subject to the availability of funds.
    CDC collects two types of information from WISEWOMAN awardees. The 
hardcopy Annual Progress Report provides a narrative summary of each 
awardee's objectives and the activities undertaken to meet program 
goals. The estimated burden per response is 16 hours.
    In addition, each WISEWOMAN awardee submits an electronic data file 
to CDC twice per year. The Minimum Data Elements (MDE) file contains 
de-identified, client-level information about the cardiovascular 
disease risk factors of women served by the program, and the number and 
type of lifestyle program sessions they attend. The estimated burden 
per response for the MDE file is 24 hours.
    CDC seeks a one-year extension to enable reporting for the final 
year of activities funded under the current cooperative agreement and 
the option year, subject to the availability of funds. There are no 
changes to the information collected, the burden per response, 
reporting frequency, the number of awardees, or the total annualized 
burden hours.
    CDC will continue to use the information collected from WISEWOMAN 
awardees to support program monitoring and improvement activities, 
evaluation, and assessment of program outcomes. The overall program 
evaluation is designed to demonstrate how WISEWOMAN can obtain more 
complete health data on vulnerable populations, promote public 
education about disease incidence, cardiovascular disease risk-factors, 
health promotion, improve the availability of screening and diagnostic 
services for under-served women, ensure the quality of services 
provided to underserved women, and develop strategies for improved 
interventions. Participation in this information collection is required 
as a condition of cooperative agreement funding. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time.
    The total annualized burden hours are 1,344.
