Proposed Project Information Collection for Evaluation of Education, Communication, and Training Activities for Mobile Populations (OMB Control Number 0920-0932, Expiration 07/31/2018)--Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases [[Page 14857]] (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) is requesting a three-year revision of a currently approved generic clearance to conduct evaluation research. This will help CDC plan and implement health communication, education, and training activities to improve health and prevent the spread of disease. These activities include communicating, educating, and training with international travelers and other mobile populations, training healthcare providers, and educating public health departments, federal partners, and other stakeholders. The information collection for which the revision is sought is in accordance with DGMQ's mission to reduce morbidity and mortality among immigrants, refugees, travelers, expatriates, and other globally mobile populations, and to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States. This mission is supported by delegated legal authorities outlined in the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) and in regulations that are codified in 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 70 and 71, and 34. Approval of this revision request will allow DGMQ to continue collecting, in an expedited manner, information about the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of key audiences (such as refugees, immigrants, migrants, international travelers, travel industry partners, healthcare providers, non-profit agencies, customs brokers and forwarders, schools, state and local health departments) to help improve and inform these activities during both routine and emergency public health events. This generic OMB clearance will help DGMQ continue to refine these efforts in a timely manner, and will be especially valuable for communication activities that must occur quickly in response to public health emergencies. DGMQ staff will use a variety of data collection methods for this proposed project: interviews, focus groups, surveys, and pre/post- tests. Depending on the research questions and audiences involved, data may be gathered in-person, by telephone, online, or using some combination of these formats. Data may be collected in quantitative and/or qualitative forms. Numerous audience variables will be assessed under the auspices of this generic OMB clearance. These include, but are not limited to, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavioral intentions, practices, behaviors, skills, self-efficacy, and information needs and sources. Insights gained from evaluation research will assist in the development, refinement, implementation, and demonstration of outcomes and impact of communication, education, and training activities. DGMQ estimates that 17,500 respondents and 7,982 hours of burden will be involved in evaluation research activities each year. The information being collected will not impose a cost burden on the respondents beyond that associated with their time to provide the required data. For this submission, requested burden has been reduced from 37,500 respondents and 17,835 burden hours to 17,500 respondents and 7,982 burden hours due to a reduction in the number of estimated number of collections per year from ten to five and a two thirds reduction in pre- and post-tests requested for both types of respondents: healthcare professionals and the general public.
