Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled Evaluation of the Chronic Disease Self-
Management Program in the US Affiliated Pacific Islands to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously
published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations'' notice on February 2, 2018 to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments related
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed 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
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th
Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.
Proposed Project
Evaluation of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program in the US
Affiliated Pacific Islands--New--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NCCDPHP plans to evaluate the first ever implementation of Stanford
University's Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) in the US
Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPIs). CDSMP is a 6-week series of
workshops for people with arthritis, diabetes, lung disease, cancer,
and other health problems. The workshops focus on helping participants
learn strategies to manage chronic disease, including techniques to
deal with problems such as frustration, fatigue, pain and isolation;
appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength,
flexibility, and endurance; and appropriate use of medications among
others. Proven benefits of CDSMP include decreased pain and health
distress, increased energy and fatigue, increased physical activity,
better communication with health care providers, and increased
confidence in managing chronic disease.
The program will be offered repeatedly over the course of three
years, which will cover repeated data collections in the USAPIs. These
jurisdictions include American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia. Because this
is the first time CDSMP is being implemented in the USAPIs, we do not
know if the intervention, which has proven to improve health outcomes
in many ethnic groups within the United States, will lead to improved
health outcomes for these communities.
The purpose of the evaluation is to understand how CDSMP is being
implemented in the region, to identify barriers and facilitators to
implementation, to monitor fidelity to Stanford University's model and
document adaptations to the curriculum, and to understand the self-
reported effects of the program on program participants. The estimated
annual burden hours are 95. There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
