Proposed Project 

State and Local Area Integrated 

Telephone Survey (SLAITS), OMB No. 

0920–0406—Extension—National 

Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

The State and Local Area Integrated 

Telephone Survey (SLAITS) mechanism 

has been conducted since 1997. This is 

a request to continue the integrated and 

coordinated survey system for three 

years. This system is designed to collect 

needed health and welfare-related data 

at the national, state, and local levels. 

Using the random-digit-dial sampling 

frame from the ongoing National 

Immunization Survey (NIS) and 

Computer Assisted Telephone 

Interviewing (CATI), the State and Local 

Area Integrated Telephone Survey 

(SLAITS) has quickly collected and 

produced data to monitor many healthrelated areas including child and family 

well-being, access to care, program 

participation, and changes in health 

care coverage at the national and state 

levels. The first component of the next 

three-year period will be the National 

Survey of Children with Special Health 

Care Needs, which will provide data to 

be used for program planning and 

evaluation at the state and national 

levels. 

For some SLAITS modules, 

questionnaire content is drawn from 

existing surveys within the Department 

of Health and Human Services as well 

as other Federal agencies. Other 

questionnaire modules were developed 

specifically for SLAITS. Past modules 

include General Health, Children’s 

Health, Child Well-Being and Welfare, 

Children with Special Health Care 

Needs (CSHCN), Asthma Prevalence and 

Treatment, Knowledge of Medicaid and 

the State Children’s Health Insurance 

Program (SCHIP), Survey of Early 

Childhood Health, and HIV/STD 

Related Risk Behavior.

SLAITS has provided policy analysts, 

program planners, and researchers with 

high quality data for decision making 

and program assessment. For example, 

the module on Medicaid and SCHIP was 

prominently featured in a report to 

Congress on insuring children. The 

CSHCN module has been used by 

federal and state Maternal and Child 

Health Bureau Directors to evaluate 

programs and service needs. The 

American Academy of Pediatrics is 

using the module on early childhood 

health to advise pediatricians on patient 

care standards and to inform parents 

about the health and well-being of 

young children. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time to 

participate. The estimated annualized 

burden is 52,734 hours.

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of State Nutrition and 

Physical Activity Programs to Prevent 

Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases—

New—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

The ‘‘State Nutrition and Physical 

Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity 

and Other Chronic Diseases’’ project 

was established by CDC to prevent and 

control obesity and other chronic 

diseases by supporting States in the 

development and implementation of 

nutrition and physical activity 

interventions, particularly through 

population-based strategies such as 

policy-level changes, environmental 

supports and the social marketing 

process. The goal of the programs in this 

project is to attain population-based 

behavior change such as increased 

physical activity and better dietary 

habits; this will likely lead to a 

reduction in the prevalence of obesity, 

and ultimately to a reduction in the 

prevalence of obesity-related chronic 

diseases. 

The evaluation questions for ‘‘State 

Nutrition and Physical Activity 

Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other 

Chronic Diseases’’ have been designed 

to focus on three primary areas: (1) CDC 

training and technical assistance; (2) 

State plan development; and (3) State 

interventions. Within each of these 

primary evaluation areas, the program 

has identified specific evaluation 

questions that have been chosen for 

study. The evaluation questions will be 

asked of the funded states via a Webbased data collection system supported 

by an electronic database. This 

evaluation will take place every six 

months during the funding cycle. The 

proposed project will be conducted over 

a three-year period. There is no cost to 

the respondents. The total burden hours 

are 480.
