[[Page 31256]]

    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 527.

    Title: Accelerated Aging among Vietnam-Era Veterans Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 2900--NEW.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Abstract: The National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD) was recently 
allocated funds by Congress to be used for research to advance the 
prevention and treatment of PTSD. The original language of the 
legislation states the following: ``The committee recognizes the 
importance of the VA National Center for PTSD in promoting better 
prevention, diagnoses, and treatment of PTSD.'' In response to this, we 
have developed a study that aims to understand how and the degree to 
which warzone deployment is associated with increased morbidity and 
mortality, with particular attention to potential differences among 
white, black, and Hispanic Veterans, as well as male and female 
Veterans. To this end, we will consider multiple aspects of military 
service, deployment experiences, and current stressors of Vietnam-era 
Veterans in relation to current physical and mental health outcomes. 
This information will directly inform intervention efforts aimed at 
prevention or treatment of chronic disorders such as PTSD, depression, 
and substance/alcohol use disorders, as well as comorbid physical 
health conditions, particularly in underserved portions of our Veteran 
population. This type of information can inform system-wide 
interventions that can maximize Veterans' likelihood of receiving 
timely and evidence-based healthcare, thereby preventing long-term 
health problems.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: Mail Survey: 3,420 hours. Telephone 
Survey: 2,738 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: Mail Survey: 45 minutes. 
Telephone Survey: 45 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: Mail Survey: 4,560. Telephone 
Survey: 3,650.

    By direction of the Secretary:
Cynthia D. Harvey-Pryor,
Department Clearance Officer, Office of Quality, Privacy and Risk, 
Department of Veterans Affairs.
