effectively into overall health planning. 

In response, CDC awarded funds for 

cooperative agreements to 13 

demonstration sites for the planning and 

implementation of oral health capacity 

infrastructure building and 

demonstration delivery programs. 

Building infrastructure enables the 

demonstration sites to develop the 

capacity to achieve Healthy People 2010 

objectives and reach many more 

Americans than a single local program 

could reach by sustaining health gains 

beyond the funding cycle. Infrastructure 

development encompasses many 

activities, each of which can be 

accomplished in a myriad of methods 

by the grantees. To summarize and track 

vital development information across 

grantee sites, a performance 

measurement tracking project must be 

established for the demonstration sites. 

Obtaining uniform data on performance 

will allow the construction of summary 

reports to assist future sites and not-yetfunded oral health infrastructure 

development programs. Performance 

measurement and tracking for this 

project would describe the 

implementation of each site’s 

infrastructure model in relation to 

environmental context and state 

characteristics. The results would 

provide evidence for the essential 

implementation strategies for effective 

infrastructure development as defined 

by the consensus-based Association of 

State and Territorial Dental Directors’

(ASTDD) model. The results would be 

used to structure flexible guidelines for 

infrastructure development and identify 

high-priority activities enabling 

additional sites to efficiently plan and 

implement cost-effective oral health 

improvement activities. 

Additionally, this project will assist 

in the development of objectives and 

indicators of sustainability resulting in 

the ability of these demonstration 

programs to meet the needs of their 

constituents beyond the seed-funding 

period. The objectives of the 

Performance Measurement Tracking 

project are to:

1. Evaluate infrastructure development 

activity characteristics among the funded 

sites. 

2. Synthesize progress and promote crosscollaboration among grantees. 

3. Make progress indicators available to 

non-funded sites. 

4. Promote positive infrastructure growth 

among funded and non-funded sites.

These objectives will be attained 

through a family of uniform evaluation 

reporting documents designed to 

evaluate demographic, extent, and 

culture climate of infrastructure 

development activities. One respondent 

from each site will submit the activitytracking document semiannually. Nonfunded sites actively involved in 

infrastructure development are welcome 

to submit tracking information to further 

provide information for all sites.

Proposed Project 

Sexually Transmitted Diseases 

Laboratory Test Method Survey—New—

National Center for HIV, STD, and TB 

Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

CDC is requesting OMB approval to 

survey public health laboratories about 

the volume of testing and type of 

laboratory testing methods for sexually 

transmitted diseases (STD). In October 

2002, CDC published ‘‘Screening Tests 

to Detect Chlamydia trachomatis and 

Neisseria gonorrhoeae Infections’’

(MMWR 2002:51 (No. RR–15)). The 

purpose of this publication was to 

provide information for public health 

laboratories regarding the most effective 

testing methodologies for Chlamydia 

trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Because testing practices could affect 

the resources available to public health 

departments for STD screening and 

surveillance programs, it is critical to 

monitor the capacity and current 

practices of public health laboratories to 

appropriately test for these diseases. 

The objectives of this proposed data 

collection are to: (1) Collect information 

about the volume of and type of testing 

for chlamydia and gonorrhea performed 

in laboratories; (2) collect information 

about antimicrobial susceptibility 

testing for gonorrhea; and (3) collect 

information about the volume and type 

of testing for herpes simplex virus 

(HSV), syphilis, human papillomavirus 

(HPV), bacterial vaginosis, and 

trichomoniasis performed in 

laboratories. This survey will build on 

data collected in 2001 by the 

Association of Public Health 

Laboratories on laboratory test methods 

and the volume of testing. 

CDC anticipates collecting this data 

using an on-line survey of 140 public 

health laboratories. The survey will take 

approximately 20 minutes to complete; 

there is no cost to respondents except 

their time to participate. The annualized 

burden for this data collection will be 

47 hours.

Proposed Project 

Increasing Cervical Cancer Screening 

in Never or Rarely Screened Black 

Women: Phase 1—New—National 

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 

and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Black women in the United States 

have higher incidence of cervical cancer 

than White women and higher mortality 

from cervical cancer than White women. 

Cancer mortality data from 1974–1994 

for Black women show stable, 

geographic patterns of cervical cancer 

mortality predominantly in the 

southeastern part of the United States. 

While screening rates of Black women 

are shown to be similar to White 

women, subgroups of Black women may 

remain unscreened or under-screened 

(more than three years since the last Pap 

test), specifically those who are 

medically uninsured or underinsured or 

live in rural areas of the country. 

Screening rates are particularly low for 

women without access to health care. 

The purpose of this project is to 

conduct formative research to better 

understand why some Black women 

ages 50 to 64 do not participate in 

cervical cancer screening. The proposed 

study will use focus groups and 

personal interviews to gather 

information that will be used to guide 

future intervention strategies to increase 

cervical cancer screening in never or 

rarely screened Black women. There is 

no cost to respondents except their time 

to participate. The estimated annualized 

burden is 158 hours.
