Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted 
the following information collection request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed 
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public 
and affected agencies.
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (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]. Written comments and/or 
suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice should be

comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.

Proposed Project

    Measuring Well-Being for Total Worker Health--New--National 
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    As mandated in the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. 
L. 91-596), the mission of the National Institute for Occupational 
Safety and Health (NIOSH) is to conduct research and investigations on 
work-related disease and injury and to disseminate information for 
preventing identified workplace hazards (Sections 20(a)(1) and (d), 
Attachment 1).
    Organizations work to cultivate well-being to improve employee 
safety and health. Well-being can contribute to physical health and 
conversely, its absence may foster disease and mental disorders. Yet, 
in order to invest in employee well-being it is necessary to define and 
measure it. The Total Worker Health[supreg] (TWH) Program within the 
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has made 
worker well-being a key aspect of its mission. TWH is defined as 
policies, programs, and practices that integrate protection from work-
related safety and health hazards with promotion of injury and illness 
prevention efforts to advance worker well-being. Through an

[[Page 18649]]

integrated approach, its end goal is not only the lack of disease or 
injury, but also a culture of safety and health and an enhancement of 
overall well-being (NIOSH, 2016). Measuring worker well-being is the 
first step towards improving workplace policies, programs, and 
practices to promote prevention of disease and injury
    The TWH Program's interest in the concept of worker well-being is 
consistent with other efforts across the nation. Well-being is now a 
common feature across the public health literature, as it reflects the 
expanded goals to create the conditions for health and foster a culture 
of health rather than to simply treat injury and illness (EASHW, 2013; 
City of Santa Monica, 2016; OECD, 2016). However, while the concept of 
well-being has been considered by many disciplines throughout history, 
there has been no consistent definition or consensus around measurement 
and application. The ambiguity around this very broad concept creates 
challenges for any program or initiative that aims to advance the well-
being of individual workers or workplaces. Through a comprehensive and 
multidisciplinary literature review, this project developed a 
conceptual framework of worker well-being that provided the basis for 
development of a worker well-being survey instrument.
    For this study, data is being collected from a nationwide online 
panel of employed adults. The survey includes questions on five domains 
of worker well-being including: Worker evaluation and experiences with 
work, workplace physical environment and safety climate, organizational 
policies and culture, worker health status, and experiences outside of 
work (external context). The instrument will be programmed into a web-
based survey that will be administered online to an existing nationwide 
survey panel (KnowledgePanel[supreg]) hosted by our vendor, GfK. The 
field period for data collection will be about 3 weeks. The provided 
instrument is intended to offer a comprehensive assessment and 
measurement of worker well-being across multiple domains; however the 
instrument itself has not yet been rigorously tested on its 
psychometric properties. Such work is necessary to ensure that the 
survey is considered a validated instrument that can be used to collect 
accurate and reliable data on worker well-being.
    The total estimated burden hours is 342. There are no costs to the 
respondent other than their time.
