Proposed Project

    Randomized Controlled Trial of Routine Screening for Intimate 
Partner Violence--Revision--National Center for Injury Prevention and 
Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests OMB 
approval of revisions to a currently approved collection entitled 
``Randomized Controlled Trial of Routine Screening for Intimate Partner 
Violence'' (approved 01/24/2008; expiration date 01/29/2011). The 
proposed changes are a result of findings from the Pretest that showed 
high numbers of Spanish speakers at recruitment clinics, a higher 
prevalence of reported exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV), and 
redundancy of the 20-item mental health scale with other measures being 
used. As a result, we are requesting approval to extend trial inclusion 
criteria to Spanish speakers, a reduction in sample size, and deletion 
of a 20-question mental health scale. These last two changes will 
result in a decrease in burden to respondents. In addition, we are 
requesting an extension of three years to complete this information 
collection. The overarching purpose of the information collection has 
not changed nor are there substantial changes to the study methods.
    The revisions requested will reduce annual burden by 410 hours. 
Deletion of the mental health scale will reduce the burden response by 
2 minutes; the reduction of sample size will reduce number of 
respondents; and extension of information collection time will decrease 
annualized burden. The Pretest has already been conducted and the 
estimates of burden for the interview in the Main Study are based on 
results from the Pretest. Based on our new sample size estimates 
adjusted as a result of findings in the Pretest, in the Main Study, we 
will approach an estimated total of 3340 women to establish eligibility 
and recruit about 2675 (total) women. The annualized average response 
burden equals 308 hours, which is a reduction of 410 burden hours.
    There is no cost to respondents.
