Proposed Project

    CDC Work@Health[supreg] Advance: Evaluation of Train-the-Trainer 
and Advanced Technical Assistance Programs--New--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In the United States, chronic diseases such as heart disease, 
obesity and diabetes are among the most common and costly health 
problems, but they are also among the most preventable. Adopting 
healthy behaviors can prevent the devastating effects and reduce the 
rates of these diseases. Many employers are recognizing the role they 
can play in creating healthy work environments and providing employees 
with opportunities to make healthy lifestyle choices.
    To support these efforts, the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) established a comprehensive workplace health program 
called Work@Health. The program is authorized by the Public Health 
Service Act and funded through the Prevention and Public Health Fund of 
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). CDC's key 
objectives for the Work@Health program include: (1) Increasing 
understanding of employer training needs and the best ways to deliver 
skill-based training; (2) increasing employers' level of knowledge and 
awareness of workplace health program concepts and principles; (3) 
Building employer skills and capacity for developing or expanding 
workplace health programs; and (4) promoting peer-to-peer, community-
based employer cooperation and mentoring.
    Through the Work@Health program, CDC developed a training 
curriculum for employers based on a problem-solving approach to 
improving employer knowledge and skills related to effective, science-
based workplace health programs, and supporting the adoption of these 
programs in the workplace. Topics covered in the Work@Health curriculum 
include principles, strategies, and tools for leadership engagement; 
how to make a business case for workplace health programs; how to 
assess the needs of organizations and individual employees; how to 
plan, implement, and evaluate sustainable workplace health programs; 
and how to partner with community organizations for additional support. 
An initial, small-scale Phase 1 needs assessment and Work@Health pilot 
program evaluation were conducted in 2013-2014 (OMB No. 0920-0989, exp. 
9/30/2014), followed in March 2014 by expanded Phase 2 full scale 
training and technical assistance activities involving more than 200 
employers nationwide (OMB No. 0920-1006, exp. 1/31/2016). Individuals 
who completed the training and technical assistance program received a 
Certificate of Completion.
    CDC's Work@Health activities support and complement the efforts of 
numerous employers, public health agencies, non-profit organizations, 
and other professional organizations that share an interest in 
increasing the number of effective, science-based workplace health 
programs across the United States. Some of these entities have 
participated directly in Work@Health to take their training and apply 
it more broadly in their communities. Other entities offer employers 
opportunities for recognition or accreditation of their workplace 
health programs based on many of the core concepts and principles 
addressed in the Work@Health training. Recognition or accreditation 
programs enhance standards of practice and are appealing to employers 
to improve their visibility and status, but typically take several 
years of program growth and development for employers to be in position 
to successfully obtain them.
    CDC proposes a new information collection to support continued 
expansion of the Work@Health program. The expanded program will offer 
more advanced training and technical assistance to employers or 
trainers who have previously received a Certificate of Completion for 
participating in the basic Work@Health training and technical 
assistance program. In addition to emphasizing the mastery of core 
workplace health principles and concepts introduced in the basic 
course, the expanded Work@Health program will offer targeted technical 
assistance to help employers prepare for the process of getting their 
worksite accredited by an external organization. The advanced technical 
assistance will include an organizational accreditation readiness 
assessment as well as assessment-driven technical assistance focused on 
organizational alignment, population health management, and data, 
outcomes, and reporting. Employers will be responsible for selecting 
the external recognition or accreditation program that best fits with 
their vision and goals.
    A key component of Work@Health uses a Train-the-Trainer training 
model to assist with the dissemination of the Work@Health Program. In 
the Expansion Program, up to 100 additional Train-the-Trainer 
participants will receive enhanced training in how to deliver the 
curriculum to employers across the country. They will receive technical 
assistance and access to an online peer learning platform. Applicants 
for the Train-the-Trainer model must have previous knowledge, training, 
and experience with workplace health programs and an interest in 
becoming instructors for the Work@Health Program. They may be referred 
by employers, health departments, business coalitions, trade 
associations, or other organizations.
    CDC is requesting OMB approval to initiate information collection 
for the Work@Health Expansion Program in Spring 2015. CDC plans to 
collect information from employers who have previously completed the 
Work@Health training and technical assistance to assess readiness for 
accreditation of their workplace health program and their need for 
additional technical assistance; to obtain trainees' reactions to the 
advanced technical assistance; and to document their experience 
applying for and receiving accreditation of their workplace health 
program. CDC also plans to collect information needed to select the 
individuals who will participate in the enhanced Train-the-Trainer 
model; and to assess changes in trainees' knowledge and skills before 
and after participation in Work@Health Train-the Trainer model. 
Graduates of the Work@Health program will be given the opportunity to 
complete an annual survey to assess their capacity to maintain and 
sustain their workplace health program after formal training 
participation has ended. All information will be collected online to 
maximize the convenience to respondents.
    Respondents will include employers who have previously completed 
the Work@Health training; those that continue onto the advanced 
technical assistance program, and individuals who apply to participate 
in the train-the-trainer model.
    Information will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the 
Work@Health program in terms of (1) increasing employers' knowledge and 
capacity to implement workplace health programs and to facilitate 
applying for accreditation for their programs, and (2) increasing the 
number of trainers who can provide employers with knowledge and skills 
in science-based workplace health programs, policies and practices.

[[Page 8659]]

The information will also be used to identify the best way(s) to 
deliver skill-based training and technical support to employers in the 
area of workplace health.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 470. Participation is voluntary and there 
are no costs to participants other than their time.
