SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting
information, please include the Information Collection Request Title
and document identifier HHS-OS-0990-New-30D for reference.
Information Collection Request Title: State and Territorial Health
Disparities Survey Abstract: The Office of Minority Health (OMH),
Office of the Secretary (OS) is requesting approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for a new data collection activity for the
State and Territorial Health Disparities Survey (STHD Survey).
OMH has a long history of collaborating with states to improve
minority health outcomes and reduce health and health care disparities.
A strong partnership with state and territorial offices is a key to
continue progress toward eliminating health disparities. To best
facilitate continued partnerships, OMH needs information about the
current activities, challenges, and resources within state and
territorial offices of minority health. The State and Territorial
Health Disparities Survey is intended to support OMH informational
needs by collecting, organizing, and presenting a variety of
information about states and U.S. territories, including the current
status of minority health and health disparities, the organization and
operation of state and territorial offices of minority health, and
state/territorial implementation of federal standards and evidence-
based practices designed to address disparities and improve minority
health. The STHD Survey, which will focus on the activities, staffing,
and funding of State Minority Health Entities, is part of a larger
project to catalog the extent of health disparities and the activities
underway to reduce them in each state and U.S. territory. The STHD
Survey supports OMH's goals of working with states and territories to
improve the health of racial and ethnic minority populations and
eliminate health disparities. While existing, state/territorial-
specific information sources (e.g., quantitative data points available
from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's National
Healthcare Disparities Report State Snapshots) offer important facts
about the status of health disparities, they do not provide context
around the efforts underway to reduce them.
Likely Respondents- Data will be collected using semi-structured
telephone interviews with state/territorial minority health entity
directors (or their designees) in approximately 54 states and
territories (50 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S.
territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). The
purpose of this interview is to collect qualitative information about
state/territory program goals and activities, partnerships, and
organizational structure, as well as quantitative data elements on
staffing and funding.
