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 ``National Quitline Data Warehouse'' 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 November 6, 2018 to obtain
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received three
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
National Quitline Data Warehouse (OMB Control No. 0920-0856, Exp.
Date 03/31/2019)--Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Since 2010, the National Quitline Data Warehouse (NQDW) has
collected a core set of information from the 50 U.S. states, the
District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico regarding what services
telephone quitlines offer to tobacco users as well as the number and
type of tobacco users who receive services from telephone quitlines.
The data collection was modified in 2015 to collect data from the The
Asian Smokers' Quitline (ASQ) in addition to the other 53 states/
territories that provide data, and included five new questions to the
NQDW Intake Questionnaire to help CDC and states tailor quitline
services to the needs of its callers.
The NQDW provides data on the general smoking population who
contact their state quitlines, but also allows for collections of
information about key subgroups of tobacco users who contact state
quitlines to better support cessation services. Data is collected on
tobacco users who received service from state telephone quitlines from
all funded U.S. states, territories and the Asian Smokers' Quitline
(ASQ) through the NQDW Intake Questionnaire. The NQDW Seven-Month
Follow-up Questionnaire will be administered to tobacco users who
received services from the ASQ only, and is no longer collected from
other respondents. Seven-month quit rates have been previously
estimated for all Quitline callers except those that call the ASQ.
Based on previous literature and a review of the follow-up evaluation
data previously collected by the NQDW, seven-month quit rates are not
expected to change significantly over time. Data on the quitline call
volume, number of tobacco users served, and the services offered by
state quitlines will be provided by state health department personnel
who manage the quitline or their designee, such as contracted quitline
service providers, using the NQDW Quitline Services Survey.
Data collected from the NQDW is analyzed with simple descriptive
data tabulations and trends are currently reported online through the
CDC State Tobacco Activities Tracking and Evaluation (STATE) System
website. More complex statistical analyses, including multivariate
regression techniques will be utilized to assess quitline outcomes,
such as quitline reach, service utilization, how callers reported
hearing about the quitline, and the effectiveness of quitline
promotions and the CDC Tips From Former Smokers national tobacco
education media campaigns on state quitline call volume and tobacco
users receiving services from state quitlines.
CDC uses the information collected by the NQDW for ongoing
monitoring, reporting, and evaluation related to state quitlines.
Select data from the NQDW are reported online through the CDC's STATE
System website (http://www.cdc.gov/statesystem). The estimated annual
burden hours are 82,477.
